"I loved Annie's class last night. It was great! It's such a relief to have this class. Core work and strength are so important.
This component is just a huge asset to the program. I know it took a lot to get it going
and I just wanted you know that it was worth all the work." [Kara Sotirakopoulos]
"I have to say that Coach Annie's Core Strengthening Class on Wednesday was much more difficult than the 50K race.
Thursday I was in a little pain, but Friday was excruciating pain.
I highly recommend the class, especially for people who want to locate muscles where they did not know they existed.
Basically everything hurt, total body ouch." [Amy Dalton]
