Why these awards

• Recognition you earned

  Chosen by a panel against published criteria. Not bought, not voted up by the biggest following.

• Proof you can point to

  A badge and a written citation that say what you did and why it worked, for your site, your bio and your next client.

• A standard for the sport

  Hybrid training is young. Every citation shows other coaches and gyms what good looks like.
