We’ve all been there.
We’ve paid for the membership, laced up our sneakers, and dragged ourselves through the cold and dark morning to the gym, all the while half-high-fiving ourselves for just showing up.
And we’ve stood in that atrium – stared at all the equipment – and quietly asked ourselves, “Okay…so, what now?”
Yikes, walking into the gym for the first time is overwhelming. How do you know what equipment to use? How do you even use that equipment? How many reps should you do, and oh man, what will you do tomorrow?

Because even the most state-of-the-art gym in the world won’t get you to where you want to go if you don’t know how to use it.
So what does this have to do with cybersecurity and Project Ares?
Everything.
What is the Project Ares Cyber Gym?
Glad you asked!
Project Ares is a cyber-gym that’s chock-full of digital treadmills, virtual weight racks, and high-tech yoga mats designed to help Players get the training they need to reach their cyber-six pack goals.
But just like at the gym, showing up is only the first step.
Players need a plan, a workout routine, and familiarity with using the equipment to safely and effectively achieve that cyber-pro skillset they’ve always dreamed of.
Enter the personal trainer.
Because Project Ares is a one-of-a-kind platform, the tools available within it can be confusing at first glance. Luckily, Project Ares is a lot like a weight training gym… watch to learn why and how to use it to meet your training and teaching objectives.
