The fitness coach will set you up on your own program, tailoring the length, frequency and type of workout to your individual needs.
Appointments are scheduled on a recurring basis at the same time and day. If you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment, please call as soon as possible so we can reschedule both you and the fitness coach.
Just say “hi!” Let your fitness coach know that you’re here – grab an ice-cold bottle of water from the fridge, or purchase one of our workout drinks; grab a towel and start your warm up.

Towels are available free of charge – they are near the back mirrors, so just grab one when you come in.
