Empowerment is what POP ultimately strives to give back to each client.
Private sessions take place with the client and the teacher moving around the room doing appropriate exercises on each of the apparatus. Each POP teacher gives the client a full evaluation and or a fitness assessment to be able to devise a program based on the individual’s needs and goals.
