How does the 2-week free trial process work?

Your trial will begin with a Success Session. This is a one on one appointment with a Fit Club coach to discuss your goals, transformation history, and current exercise and nutrition habits. You will also complete a short movement screen for your coach to identify any faulty movement patterns. You will be given alternate exercises for any identified patterns to ensure your workouts are safe and effective. You will leave your session with a personal Success Blueprint which outlines the recommended daily nutrition and exercise habits to attain your stated goal.

During your 2-week trial you have unlimited access to our group sessions so that you can experience all that we have to offer. Your 2-week trial is the time when you (as well as the Fit Club coaches) will assess if our program is the right long-term fit for you. If you are showing up, having fun, working hard, and feeling a positive difference in your body, we look forward to you joining us long-term when the trial is over.[bg_faq_end] [bg_faq_start]

Do I have to start my trial at the beginning of a new training phase?

No. We offer rolling enrollment and will get you started right away and closely monitor your workouts to ensure you are working at the appropriate intensity level regardless of how far we are into the phase when you start.[bg_faq_end] [bg_faq_start]

What if I have some pre-existing injuries or I am really out of shape?

Our unique group training system allows us to train both novice and advanced clients at the same time. You will be coached at the appropriate intensity level for YOU. If you have a few, minor pre-existing injuries, we can work around them. Your coach will determine which movement patterns we need to avoid with you during your Success Session. We will give you alternate movements for any that you need to avoid. Your results and safety are our priority. If you have more serious or many pre-existing injuries, the personal training option may be best for you. If this is the case, your coach will tell you during your Success Session.[bg_faq_end] [bg_faq_start]

How much does the group training program cost after the trial is done?

Great Shape Fit Club is a monthly membership program. You will commit to a 4, 6, or 12 month initial membership period. Your monthly investment will depend on which membership you choose. Your coach will recommend the membership that best fits your goal and schedule during your Success Session so that you are aware of what your training rate will be well before your trial membership ends. In general our group training memberships range from $100 – $269 per month. Punch card memberships are also available for those who cannot commit to a weekly workout schedule but still want to be a part of Fit Club.

Your group training program will include:

• Efficient exercise routines supervised by expert coaches
• Manageable meal strategies and ongoing nutrition coaching
• Social support from the Fit Club coaches and members[bg_faq_end] [divider][/divider]

What do I wear to session?

You should wear comfortable, breathable clothing. Please make sure to wear clothing that is not too big- we need to see your body move at different joint positions during the workout so we can best assess your form and technique and make the necessary corrections.
In addition, please wear shoes that are designated for athletic purposes- often referred to as running, cross-training, or tennis shoes OR no shoes at all. Some common brands are Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Brooks, Asics, etc.[bg_faq_end] [bg_faq_start]

Will you help me with nutrition?

Our goal is to ease you into adopting healthier dietary habits for long-term success rather than overwhelming you with a nutrition overhaul. During your Success Session, your coach will give you specific nutrition habits to concentrate on to get the ball rolling in the right direction.

At the end of the trial period, you will be eligible for a personal food record review as well as recommendations for the next nutrition habits to concentrate on to continue to produce results. You will have access to our Eating For Great Shape Nutrition Program which includes various nutrition protocols to fit different metabolic and lifestyle needs. Other nutrition tools and resources include meal timing charts and meal plans.

The most valuable nutrition resource however is the ongoing education and coaching provided to you through regularly scheduled seminars and interaction in our members only online group.
Absolutely. At Fit Club, we believe that quality and intensity trump duration when it comes to training. Your workout will be designed to increase strength, boost your metabolism for optimal fat loss, and/or improve appearance of chosen body regions (based on what you desire). Our unique training system allows us to deliver results to you in a manner that saves you time, reduces your chance of overuse injuries, and reduces compensatory hunger and cravings that usually come along with long duration, moderate intensity programs. Our system eliminates the “fluff time” in standard personal training sessions that you usually spend walking to the next machine or standing around waiting for your trainer to set up the next exercise (yep you pay for that time). In short, we use the science to set you up for success (and save you time for the rest or your priorities).[bg_faq_end] [divider][/divider]
