If you need to get rid of your PE requirements & fat, take him. He talks about sports all the time. Just show up and do the work he asks you to do. Dont slack off & you're fine. I loved his videos since I took him during the COVID. He always talks about sports & I wish we talked about if ACC or Big 10 is better. Easy to pass & to talk to. Take him!

pre-lockdown rating: Hard to do bad in a gym class. Funny guy. Can sound rude sometimes, but that's his sense of humor. Not a free-run class: you did exercises that are pre-set (for Spring 2020 at least). If you want to do your own workout look into other coaches.

This mans. Took his weight lifting class over the summer and got mad buff, but basically all you gotta do is show up and work hard. He jokes around a lot, humor isn't for everyone, but my buddies and I respect him a lot. Took his intermediate weights class this sem., and he's been so supportive in helping me push my limits. Overall super sick guy.

Easy A, all you have to do is show up and mark yourself here at the end. You warm up at the beginning of class and then youre pretty much on your own. He takes roll at the end of class and can only miss up to 4 days of class.

Easy A! Just don't miss more than 4 absences and you'll get an A. Of course do your work outs too. I don't exercise prior to taking this class so it was a bit difficult to me, but hey I improved and lose weight, so it's a win-win for me.

Comment:

Easy A if you show up to the classes. That's all he expects from you. Show up, and do whatever you want. I saw students on their phone the entire class. Others sat on the ground talking. Prof. Maher is very sweet and extremely funny. But during class he is on his phone the entire time, so don't expect to learn too much. It's a nice break though.

Comment:

Maher was a really cool instructor. There wasn't a midterm or final. As long as you attend the class and participate you will pass with an A. Attendance does affect your grade. The workouts are not that hard. We didn't do timed miles or anything of the sort. A lot of times he starts telling stories. I definitely recommend him.

Does not torture his students on physical education. We can take a break from playing ping pong or tennis and he won't notice. If were late, he won't notice, He gives everybody an A

Comment:

Obviously the easiest exercise class I ever took. I am also proud to say that I lost 6 pounds while taking his 2012 Winter class. He even took the class to Cal Tech once, and all we did was walk around the campus. I simply adore him. People in that class liked me because I provided entertainment. I sang "I Dreamed a Dream" to the class, too XD
