Core Health & Fitness hosted the first EMEA Master Trainer HIIT Summit at the Northwood Club, London. Lead Master Trainer Sonja Friend Uhl came over from the US to teach 8 Master Instructors from London, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Denmark.

- Work on programmes to make members feel like they are part of a team
- Keep Score
