Frontline Health

Wow! I have taken CPR/​First Aid at least a half a dozen times (it is necessary for me to take CPR/​First Aid to renew my acupuncture & massage licenses in New York State). The class with Jeff and Charlie at Frontline Health was professionally presented. Clear and interesting (not boring at all!). For the first time, I left their class feeling CONFIDENT that if I had to administer CPR/​FIRST AID, I could. Thank You for a STELLAR class.

Thankfully, I am not afflicted with hero complex. Several years ago, I learned CPR, and in an attempt to dislodge the imaginary item stuck in the rubber baby’s throat, hit her so hard she flew across the room like a jet at takeoff. However, Shane at Frontline makes learning CPR techniques so effortless that at the end of the class, you feel enabled. He stresses through repetition the important stuff and makes it fun. Computer visuals and interesting you– tube videos have supplanted written manuals. You are educated in a room that is spacious and clean. Three hours went by quickly as Shane imparted instruction and updated facts. You also sense his passion as he continually emphasizes why learning and doing CPR is important. Note that the average response time in NY to a 911 call is 9 minutes 18 seconds. The brain begins to die after 4 minutes of oxygen deprivation. Doing CPR and using the AED can help give the EMT’s, when they finally arrive, a better chance to save a life. Also, research has shown that chest compressions are necessary but breathing into the unconscious adult isn’t; so germaphobes can take this class and not be fearful of helping someone in that situation. While I didn’t thump on my chest and grunt ooh rah after I got my certificate, I did scan the streets for a few blocks after I left looking for the unconscious to perform sternal aerobics on. That’s how confident I felt. A class well worth taking.
Tip: The Red Cross has apps that can walk you through CPR etc. They are free and handy while you wait for help to arrive should you ever find yourself in an emergency situation.

I took a CPR/​AED/​First Aid class here recently. It was very easy to book online. Classes are conducted everyday, and it is totally worth it. I did it because I have kids but everyone should do this, you never know when it may come handy.
In my job interview, the interviewer told me to get CPR, in one instance she was the only one who knew and saved the life on a one-​year old. Since then she started the initiative to encourage everyone to learn CPR. I had this advice in my mind but didn’t act on it. Till one of my toddlers had a mild choking incident, then another toddler had one the next day. I remembered her advice and booked this session.
Charlie, our instructor, was amazing!!! He is a reservoir of knowledge. The training itself was very hands-​on and interactive. I learned a lot and am encouraging my husband to do it too. I hope I never have to use this skill, but at least I am prepared!

This was the most exciting CPR/​AED training I’ve ever attended. These guys are far from boring. The interaction and technology are up-​to-​par! Totally worth your time and money. Go save a life!!! Hands on, and you feel prepared for life after. He showed YouTube footage of actual people getting into cardiac arrest, and even how gasping for air is NOT BREATHING! *mind blown*. Very AMAZING experience, see you guys in 2 yrs to re-​cert.

I took the Adult/​Pediatric CPR/​AED class this week — my first time doing it — and I learned so much! Charlie was the teacher and he was AMAZING. He provided all of the «real life» tips for us which I found extremely useful. The 3 hours flew by. Class was very interactive and we could ask questions whenever we wanted to. Charlie was very organized and clearly knew what he was talking about. He even had pulled up pictures of all of the different AED machines so that we could see what they looked like. Great class. The classroom is nice. I feel very confident in the skills that I learned (hopefully won’t ever have to use them but glad I would know how to if necessary). Thanks Charlie & Frontline!

My business partner and I took the Adult-​Child CPR/​AED/​First Aid class this week with Charlie. Amazing instructor, thorough, professional, extremely knowledgeable — the best instructor we have ever experienced. We will come to Frontline from now on and definitely send our employees when their renewals are up. Thanks Frontline and Charlie for providing a great service!

Shane was a fantastic instructor! Ditto all the other rav reviews: a class act, fantastic instruction where you come out super confident and informed, and entertaining too!

Took the Adult-​Child/​CPR/​AED class this past Sunday, and it was GREAT. The teacher, Charlie, was the best CPR instructor I have ever had– and I have certified every couple of years since my first lifeguard job in 1975! He was perfectly organized, clear and engaging, just did everything right (and I rarely say that).
The classroom facility was clean, cool, and quiet, too. Very good atmosphere, very well-​done– and it was FUN.
I would highly recommend Frontline classes to anyone and everyone, no joke. May prove to be the most important class you ever take, if you are blessed to save even one person.
Thank you, Shane and Charlie!

This was an amazing class! I have always been nervous and apprehensive about my CPR skills despite having taken several courses. Charlie was an AMAZING instructor who went above and beyond to showcase real-​life examples and I can say for the first time that I am confident I will know how to respond in an emergency situation. The course was well-​laid out and gave you additional information to help you understand how to act in the real world should you need to respond to help someone. Would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking a CPR certification.

Great class, instructor covered material that is practical for a health care provider and kept it from being boring. Free coffee which was nice. I also accidentally destroyed my card and they were easy to get in touch with and helpful with getting me a new card.

Yesterday I got my CPR certification from this place. Troy Clobes was my instructor and he was very professional. Honestly before classes starts I thought it will be so boring. Because I picked 6 hours CPR & First Aid AED classes. But it wasn’t boring at all. I had fun and it was hands on training. I learned a lot. It was pretty awesome I got my certification the same day after the classes finished. I wanna say thanks again to Troy. He is awesome.
I strongly recommend this place if you need CPR & First Aid AED certificate.

I purchased the Heartsaver: First Aid CPR and AED (Adult and Child) package for 125 $ a little over a year ago, & if you’re in the medical field, childcare, etc. it’s definitely worth it. But there are other cheaper options (even free courses) out there for those individuals seeking some very important knowledge without spending too much. *Now they include Infant as well, for the same price.*
The course includes a few pamphlets and a workbook that I still review from time to time to refresh my memory. Each Certificate (Card) is valid for 2 yrs. I took the course with Troy (That’s what my card says, I do know Shane came and went) and it was about 5hrs total with a 45min. break in btwn. (those that chose the Infant course would stay all the way through). It was definitely fun and the instructor kept our attention the entire time. Free coffee too. You get to choose your own seat but I would suggest aisle or front seats for the best view. We got enough practice on the CPR procedure that it will stick w/​you for a long time. You get a plastic cover & mask to put over mannequin’s mouth, so you wont be making direct contact, which scared a few people. The best part came when all us had to practice w/​the epi-​pen on the instructor and well I went a little too far and he shrieked. Pretty sure I gave give a bruise, but at least I know proper procedure and application pressure? haha
I’m up for re-​certification sooner or later and I think this course has really stuck with me that the next time I take it, it will be a piece of cake. Thanks.

I am in school for massage therapy and we are required to be CPR and first aid certified before we get in to «Clinic» and work on real people (versus working on classmates). I believe all NY State licensed massage therapists are required this certification… anyway! I haven’t been certified in over a decade. I found Front Line via the internet. Charlie was our instructor. The room was clean and everything was already set up for us upon our arrival. (Me and the strangers that signed up) They had coffee and water available, a nice hospitable gesture. We for started right away and were also hands on our mannequin right away. Charlie did an excellent job reminding us of steps helping to drill the information and steps into my mind. Not in a mean way though. Charlie was actually very animated. He told is some if his own experiences and what to REALLY expect, which is not what we see on TV or in movies. He played several videos that were «real life» and not gruesome or gory but painted a good depiction of what to expect. He was never monotonous. An excellent ability if you are teaching something like this. We did CPR first then had a 30 minute lunch break and came back for first aid training. This was a bit more difficult to get thru because it was a LOT of watching instructional videos. Which we were informed were the nation wide informational videos used by the American heart association. We did a bit of hands on and Charlie once again was great about walking us thru the scenario keeping us focused on our steps. I ABSOLUTELY recommend these guys for your training. DO NOT settle for a course online. The hands on is extremely valuable. My certification lasts two years and i will only train with these guys.

Wow! The last thing I was looking forward to was spending a beautiful Sunday morning wasting three boring hours just to learn how to pound someone on the chest. I was wrong — mainly because of the instructor, Charlie Wohlberg.
Charlie is a working EMT who knows what the reality is when you’re faced with a possible heart attack. He took the course material and made it interesting, engaging, entertaining and made the hours fly by.
The room was light, airy and air conditioned. Clean and well-​carpeted. And the dummies were well cared for and clean. We learned every aspect of the CPR/​AED program and I came away feeling that I would know what to do in an emergency and — even more important — be willing to do it.
I think EVERYONE should take this course… and I can’t imagine it being done any better than it was by Frontline Health. Bravo!

Shane came to our apartment to do a first aid and CPR course for our friends and family, and he was fantastic! He was incredibly professional, showing up 30 minutes early to set-​up so that we could start exactly on time. He was also an excellent communicator and instructor, including our initial email conversations for scheduling the day, the actual instruction, and the follow-​up.
Frontline Health made the course very easy to understand and follow. We had people with a large range of experience with first aid, and the 4-​hour session was incredibly informative, hands-​on, easy to follow, and most importantly, memorable. His consistent re-​emphasis and use of repetition in his instruction made the key points stick in our minds for hopefully years to come!
In addition, Frontline Health is a well-​run company! I love the fact that they make the first aid manuals available online to download, and that they also have an app for me to use. I also like that he made it so easy to schedule the day, and was flexible with coming to Hoboken.
Thank you so much Shane! We will definitely be recommending your services to friends and family in the future.

The CPR class (skills test) was very accurate and succinct. It got us in and out, which I greatly appreciated, as a busy man. I had previously taken classes with only Shane, but the gentleman that ran this class (forgot his name) was excellent as well, it seems like Shane trains his employees very well. Great course.

I decided to go with Frontline because they were the only ones (that I could find) in NYC that will travel to you to give the class. That, coupled with their super affordable rates, put them a huge step above their competition. Based on the prices, I was skeptical about the quality of the class but was so pleasantly surprised!
Shane Woodall was a pleasure to work with from the first day I emailed asking questions. I always got responses from him within a couple of hours! Very prompt and courteous.
I set up a class for 12 adults on the date, time and location of my choosing. Shane was so flexible and was there early to set up. He was very accommodating of 6 couples and 6 babies under 8 months of age.
The class was great, mainly due to Shane’s disposition and knowledge of the topics. As a father of 2 young children himself, he really cares about the subject and wanted to make sure we all were comfortable with what we learned. One guy in our group came late because he took a CPR class years ago but after class was over, Shane decided to spend 20 min doing a crash course for him because techniques change every 5 years.
I still can’t believe that we took this class, with our friends, without paying a babysitter and traveling to an inconvenient location, for almost half the price of all the other classes in the city!
Highly highly recommend Frontline and Shane!

Great company, great instructors, and great skill set to know. Located close to almost every kind of transportation you could ever need — even those Citi bikes have a station around the corner. Great space with lots of light and AC. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, professional (but still fun), and charismatic, so it makes the course fun and interesting. Two thumbs up!

I came here last saturday to get certified in CPR/AED.My instructor Shane Woodall was awesome, it’s a 1 day course that I recommend everyone should take. But, definitely go to Frontline Health, and make sure you get Shane as an instructor.

I got certified last fall in CPR/​AED — was a great training class and very convenient. There was a lot of material covered in the 1 day course but the instructor Shane Woodall was awesome. He made the time go by quickly and made sure that we understood all the main points and important concepts. I would recommend the training at Frontline Health and if you can get Shane as the instructor, I would also recommend him.
