Must listen if you're in the fitness industry.

if you're a fitness trainer, coach or thinking of becoming one. This is an outstanding book. Not only gives excellent tips, but also helps to reset and re-educate oneself when feeling stuck, and go back to the basics. 5 stars!

What other book might you compare Ignite the Fire to and why?

What does Pete Cataldo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

no, just great ideas and 'ah-a' moments

Any additional comments?
