“I was completely absorbed in the Hike program! The speed, accountability, and exposure of the interactions spurred faster learning. I really enjoyed being paired with others so we could learn from each other’s growth and insights. The optional homework in between sessions was helpful to get additional repetitions with no time pressure.”
