Q: What can I charge for MJ Coaching sessions? A: That's up to you. Session fees charged by Fitness Professionals vary based on experience and skills.

At your course, you will be shown how to structure maintenance sessions and utilise the weekly updates from the MJ Plus + Membership.
Q: Will I be able to run MJ Group sessions? A: Yes, you can easily deliver MJ to groups and will be shown how to do this at your course. You choose the fee from this and are encouraged to promote participation of your group in a full MJ program of 5 group sessions. This is a great idea for social support.
