Am sure this varies by area just just based off of ear and experience:

A) Alex Volpicelli (impossible to schedule), Kathy Gazich, Grace Nass, Carey Tinkelenberg, Katrina Stewart
B) Casey Rooney (ReadReact), Josh Levine (Fortis), Josh Kern, Eric Wenkus (PEP). A lot of coaches run private sessions but aren't really public like Joe Dziedzic, Calvin Simon. Not a fan of Made but Seth Abroz is great if you can get him.
C) PWHT, Training Haus has programs, The Base, Velocity. If I had all the money in the world and location weren't an issue I'd use Empowers and or Ted Johnson
