If your final goal is to be a body builder or power lifter it doesnt match up very well at all. From what I have seen its a set of classes for people who are to lazy to spend the time to find out how to set up their own exercise program. (mostly Desk Jockies) Yes some people can set up a program on their own and some need a trainer. This group of people wind up looking like someone who is prepareing to run a race, 5K, 10K, marathon. Have you ever seen a body builder or power lifter do that? When I started working out, in 79 or 80, the Natulas system was new, they had just came out with the weight machines and had several gyms that had that and nothing else. That adventure into circuit training was a big waste of my time. After almost 2 years of that I wised up and went to a real gym and left the 24 hour Natulas behind me. Well thats my opinion for what its worth. Again please correct me if Im wrong!
