2020 AAAI/ISMA Classes

Below are the 2020AAAI/ISMA fitness certification classes I am teaching.

This list is updated frequently so check back often.

See the AAAI/ISMA website for a list of ALL classes everybody else is teaching.

Remember

  • For classes at colleges, you must register before class. No walk-ins are permitted.
  • You must register with the college for classes concurring at colleges.
    • Anywhere else, register with AAAI directly.
  • For classes held at colleges, be sure to ask about the campus, building and room we are in when you register.  Many colleges have multiple campuses.  If a college gives you a different location than I have listed here, contact me immediately so I can double check for you.
