I have some fantastic news for you: Craig Ramsay is here to uplift us all! Colin Farrel once called him “genius,” Sharon Osborne said he is brilliant, and just about everyone agrees that he’s one of the most entertaining experts in the fitness world (in addition to being one of People Magazine’s Top Fitness Experts).When Craig started bringing fitness for the masses, he saw that there was a sense of alienation there. He made it his mission to lighten the mood energetically and help people enjoy working out and moving their bodies.
