Tailored to You

We will conduct a complete assessment of your current level of fitness first. Then we’ll focus on fundamentals and mechanics of the exercises before we ramp up the intensity or guide you into advanced moves. We are 100% confident that you can do it. And we are here to help, no matter what your fitness journey starting point is! 

Each Session is About an Hour

Each session is about an hour. Depending on your fitness goals, the Foundations program runs 6 to 12 weeks, and we work with your schedule to create a mix of gym and home  workouts 2-4 times a week for the duration of the program. In your training sessions, we will cover the program principles, technique fundamentals and correct form for the foundational movements. Most if not all exercise movements are based on these foundational principles and once you are comfortable with the basics, you will very quickly progress to variations and modifications, which will add variety and fun to every workout.

We Track Your Progress

Your progress and success will be accurately monitored. We track your progress using some good old fashioned notes, as well as the incredibly sophisticated InBody body composition analyzer, which measures your muscle mass, hydration, limb symmetry, visceral body fat and balance. You’ll always be able to see your progress and gains.

It Starts with a First Step

Wondering what you need to get started? A loose, comfortable workout outfit, a pair of sneakers, and readiness to begin! You don’t need any tools, gadgets or prep – we have you covered! Our certified personal training team will work with you to determine the best focus and most convenient schedule, and our strength and mobility assessment will help you feel grounded and confident in your fitness plan and progress. Don’t worry if you don’t have home equipment either – when we discuss at home supplemental workouts, we will create programs that work with body weight and whatever you already have at home – even if it’s just a chair. Our goal is your success in mastering foundational movements and progress!
