The International Personal Trainer Certification made its debut in Colombia with over 65 attendees. "This truly was a fantastic event," says Luis Cordozo, Lead Consultant from Dallas, Texas. "With three presenters from different countries, we were able to offer the participants a unique experience." Cardozo headed up his team of Personal Trainer Specialists which included Jorge Fernandez from Mexico City and Pablo Alvarez from Puerto Rico. The Primary Aerobic Instructor Certification was led by Master Certification Specialist, Lauri Reimer from Los Angeles, California, and was assisted by AFAA Consultant, Jorge Olvera from Mexico City. "It's always a great honor to represent AFAA in different countries. Thanks to the efforts of Luis Malagon, we had a successful event. Bogata is a beautiful place and the people there are wonderful," says Reimer.
