The Spectrum: Our Two Day Fitness Workshop

Markow Training Systems is excited to announce our new Fitness Workshop series – The Spectrum. 

The Spectrum Fitness Workshop is a two-day mixture of lectures, hands-on coaching, and interactive problem-solving.

The goal of this fitness workshop is to shed light on the full spectrum of training while providing students with specific solutions to individualize their approach.

We will show you exactly how and why we built our training system so you can level up how you approach your clients/ patients.
