The host is responsible for arranging the venue and refreshments/lunch and for covering the trainer travel costs (which are minimal as we try to book the closest trainer to your location.) For travel over 2 hours, we charge an additional $50 per hour. As an option, the Host can set their own price per participant to cover the costs of food and travel.
