How Training Works
Your first class, step by step
Before you arrive: Read the first-month guide and arrange your first visit with Eric. Share your experience, goals, and any concerns so your coach knows where you are starting.
What to bring: Wear exercise clothes and bring water. A filtered water fountain is available in the gym to refill your bottle.
Parking and arrival: There is ample dedicated parking directly in front of our front door. Arriving 5 minutes early is fine.
When you get here: Introduce yourself to your coach. We explain the workout and help you choose movements, weights, and effort that fit you. You do not need to know the exercise names. Returning to strength training after 40?
During the class: Train alongside others in a 45-minute strength and conditioning session, capped at 16 people. If a movement feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable, tell your coach so you can discuss an appropriate option.
Three tracks. One coached class.
Momentum — For newer or returning members who are building confidence, movement quality, and consistency.
Engine Builder — For members building aerobic capacity or choosing a productive lower-stress training day.
Performance — For members ready to push strength, conditioning, and skill with greater intensity.
Optional after class: Physique Builder and Capacity Builder work can extend the session when it fits.
No track is the advanced choice. The right track is the one that fits your readiness and goal today.
What can that look like outside the gym?
Andrea credits Engine Builder workouts and her coaches’ guidance with helping her build endurance for a steady 5K without stopping and a 10-mile hike with moderate climbs.
A group class with support for you
The environment in the large group workouts is very positive and welcoming which makes the workouts fun while being challenging.
