Course Description
Confirmation bias is a person’s tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with their existing beliefs1. In this session we are going to be measuring rates of injury, weight loss or goal obtainment, conversion and retention rates, and more (if we have time) in your male versus female clients; to see whether or not our training methods really are equally as successful across the board as we think!
