I'm considering a gym membership to start my workout programming. I'll look for access to basic equipment before I join. I'm not interested in purchasing any basic gear. I don't want to spend any more than the monthly cost. We require a minimum commitment of 3 months from all NF Online Coaching students. Are you prepared to give us your best for those 3 months? * I trust you guys. I'm all in and ready to go. I'm not sure if this will be the right fit for 3 months.
