Our Rigging Intermediate course was great – all women, coming together and helping each other to become better and stronger as one. Can’t wait to do the next course with HSAS.

Hamid would have to be the best trainer I have been trained by. The facility is all newly renovated and all his equipment is of the highest quality and standards
