"Physique 57™ mat class is one of the best workouts I have ever done. As a professional basketball player it really helps me work muscles that I don't usually work in all of my other workouts and it has really improved my flexibility and strength. I always feel great after the workout and each time it gets more and more challenging. Without a doubt I will continue to do this workout throughout my career."—Donnie McGrath, Professional Basketball Player
