I recently attended the TFC workshop in Edgewater, NJ. NIck is a dynamic instructor, the course was well-paced; individuals with varied levels of experience were easily accommodated. Even more important than the evidece-based content, Nick personified the mission and methods of TFC by delivering a truly fun educational experience. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this, Barrie! Nick is going to love reading this. Creating a fun, engaging learning environment alongside evidence-based education is exactly what we aim for, so it means a lot to hear that came through.Hope to see you at another workshop soon!
I really enjoyed the TFC workshop in Cambridge, MA. The instructors were fun, and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed how it was presented and will take the knowledge with me. I signed up for the 12 week online course after this!
Thank you so much for coming along to our workshop, Mike and for leaving such a kind review.
Amazed to know you've signed up for the 12-week online course! We’re excited to support you as you keep building on what you learned in the workshop.
I’ve noticed using the tools from the Foot Collective has transformed my foot and rippled up the kinetic chain creating more strength and stability in my entire body. Small, consistent exercises/play on the cork beams have transformed my feet and hence my confidence. I highly recommend them especially for people on their 50-60s to prevent future falls as we age.
Appreciate you sharing this feedback, Dinna!
We love hearing that our tools are changing how your feet fee into more strength and stability through your whole body. That’s exactly the kind of outcome we’re aiming for when we teach small, consistent foot training.
Building confidence, stability, and capability over time is such a powerful investment at certain ages. We’re glad to have you in the TFC community.
I have been following TFC for a few years and jumped at the opportunity to attend this workshop so close to home.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, lots of knowledge shared along with laughs - making the exercises fun.
Really knowledgable instructors that were only too happy to answer questions and offer suggestions and support for foot health.
Can't thank TFC enough!
Will do again if they visit the SW of West Australia again...
I came across TFC in 2023 but I was reluctant to start on my own at home for fear of hurting myself (I was coming out of chronic fatigue that started in 2008) It was great to do this in person, to meet some of the team (a big thank you to Georgina and Andy), to ask questions and get immediate feedback. The venue was lovely, Bprimal in Northcote is a terrific resource too. I encouraged my husband to come along with me for support. He ended up getting a lot out of it and saw the value in TFC's mission. I wish the class went longer! I'm so glad I decided to go because I now have the confidence to do the exercises at home. I look forward to doing the Foot Restoration program at home and tapping into the online community.
