I'd have gone NUTS, truly. I have been in isolation with SIP since our office sent us home on March 12th. I haven't socialized, haven't gone out, barely outside to/from car to get food or the rare trip to the hardware store/post office. I feel like one of the few following protocol when I see maddening scenes on the news of people congregating in bars, parties, etc. Being able to exercise my mind, body, and spirit by taking COA classes has been a godsend. I am not only able to exercise all aspects of myself, but I able to engage with other like-minded people. I have spent more time with the instructors and other attendees, than I have with friends or co-workers. COA has truly been a lifeline for me, and I say that w/o exaggeration. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this available to us!

I can't thank you enough for planning this summer camp. All our summer camp plans were cancelled this summer. Poor kiddo is an only child, so spends his days gaming, watching YouTube videos, or hanging with 40-somethings! The past few weeks of camp have been a highlight. He even invited friends from school to join, so they do the sessions "together." Both my hubby and I were able to go to work yesterday and leave him alone. We'd mapped out his schedule for the day as a family, prepped for cooking a recipe. I was able to go to work for a few hours and knew he was fine (my kid is 12, so old enough to be alone). I'm actually sorry that school is starting, and he won't be able to continue with summer camp. Thank you!!!!

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am. My fitness level a year ago was zero and the last year of working from home has given me the time to actually try and change that. I’m not a gym go-er and have been pretty body conscious the last 14 years after having my boys. So coming on camera is really hard but I can now do it! I’ve tried other classes in the past to build momentum and a love for fitness but I would quickly run out of steam! This class is the ONLY class I have ever stuck to and it’s all down to the way that Nat makes you feel like she is actually in the room with you! You make it personal and it shows how much you really care!

The wellness class helped me make the transition to work at home more successful by keeping me moving. I have taken the evening Pilates class from April to December maybe missing every 4th or 5th class. I would then do Allie Duffy's recorded class. About November a yoga class was offered at 1 p.m. MT that I could work into my schedule. I find it difficult to commit to classes during my work shift (7:30-4:30 MT) as work would cause last minute cancellations. The classes have help me to remember good posture in the work at home environment. Once I started the COA classes, I reduced my aches from working/sitting. I do prefer in person classes which are not possible this year.

I am not used to working from home and do not have the proper set-up. I ended up at the orthopedic doctor because I could no longer put my left hand behind my back and could not longer put a right sock on. I went through PT and had an MRI. The COA classes helped me to get moving at home and focus on the areas that are causing me problems. The exercises offered by Allie are some of the same performed during PT. I am still having issue but I can at least get my left arm behind my back put I still need to work to get it a little higher up the back. I can put on a sock without too much pain in the right hip and groan and turning it into a complicated maneuver.

COA has been really great, especially due to the pandemic, as it provided an outlet that was not only educational but fun and active. My company is one that was fortunate in that we were able to have our employees work from home. Working from home brings its own set of challenges for many and COA has provided techniques and tools that I was able to communicate with team members and co-workers on how to adapt to working at home. For those colleagues with children, I informed them of the classes that were geared specifically for children yet would also appeal to teens and adults as well - such as the Chinese for beginners. The children's classes provided them with much needed tools to help their children through these times as COA not only provide the children with fun and educational classes but also with classes that would keep them active during periods of lockdown.

The biggest concern with distance learning is the lack of social connections. If we extend COA, it will solve one of our biggest challenges as parents - quality socialization. From my personal experience these camp classes fulfilled many of our family’s needs. It’s safe (from virus and predators), virtual, fun, social, personalized interaction and educational. GREAT TEACHERS! Benefits for PwC working parents: Great filler between the kids regular school work - Productive use of the child’s time if they are waiting for their parent to finish a meeting - Global diversity exposure to kids across the world - Variety class content and times - Playbacks are a fabulous resource for MORE healthy interactions through the rest of the week.

We really appreciate the COA classes. They have been an excellent resource for both myself and my daughter. The quality is excellent, it's great for her to see hundreds of other kids excited about what she likes. COA has truly helped her build her confidence to participate in school virtually. Thank you so much!

My daughter needs interaction and enrichment (and this full time working from home mom needs a wholesome break).

Great service for adults and children. In current stay home climate, is great to provide children with a virtual educational venue, one they may have to get used to more permanently.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! My son said to me "Mommy, I love your work!" I was able to do work on my work computer while he was on my personal laptop next to me doing the class. It benefited all of us. I sent out the link to my coworkers who are also parents of similar aged children.

In these uncertain times, these classes not only were a lovely way to lighten up our day but also to get us moving. The girls work out was superb too. My 8 year old was so pumped. She kept asking when the next class was. I have already signed up for next week and literally forced two other colleagues to sign up as well. Thank you for making an impact.

Looking forward to next week and hopefully they'll continue after lockdown. Really brought the world together seeing kids and adults taking part in the same activities from all different continents. Thanks.

I honestly thought this was one of the best things to come of COVID. a community of individuals learning from very talented professionals and for those professionals to share is a great example of the world we live in. I was so impressed by the organization and dedication from the whole team, especially the organizers

My kid's favorite class was hip hop dancing. My girls had an absolute blast and it was a great way to get some energy out and get their heartbeats up. Yo-yio was amazing!

Love the TaijiFit class and how you explain and piece the movements together bit by bit to help us follow. Feel so blessed to have found you, and Tai Chi!

Nat’s 1Sculpt COA+ class today was killer! Absolutely loved the strength session that balanced the whole body. From start to finish I was dripping in sweat. Her spotting abilities over the computer are insane and truly appreciated to get the best form and burn! My body and in turn mind have truly transformed solely off of 1Sculpt classes. I started a year ago and can’t believe how powerful and toned my body is now. I highly recommend these classes to anyone looking to change the physique and mindset!

Excellent focus on legs today, major burn and major sweat! Love how each week varies and intention. Jen surprises us every week with something new, keeps us wanting more! I highly recommend watching past videos. I love going back to challenge myself and see where I’ve improved on form. My body transforming before my eyes, I’m inches down all around and a huge fan and supporter of the 1Sculpt brand and method!
