What Have People Said Before?

An investment of any amount of money should always be carefully considered. If the above has you on the fence, let's see what others have said in the past.

Veera - Veera attended our first ever EPC and perfectly summed up what the conference is about, "Meeting my idols, especially Eric Helms and Mike Tuchscherer, and getting to spend time and converse with them, was a dream come true for me. I learned new concepts and ways to do things, got ideas for my own training, as well as programming for my clients, and came back home excited and full of energy, proud to be a powerlifter.⁣" You can read her full post HERE.

Richie - Richie attended in 2018 left an incredible review and said, "I learned more than I could have imagined and made some great friends over the weekend. Probably the best conference I've ever been to. I can't wait to get back again." To read his full post click HERE.
