Being the best digital pro

What a great tool - our patients LOVE it and see their progress. or lack of progress. This helps get them back on track so they lose fat, not muscle! I'm so glad another colleague recommended it to us.

Pros
  • quick change
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Pros

Cons

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
