What is a PAR-Q and why is it mandatory?

A PAR-Q is short for Physical Activity Readiness Questionaire. This is a list of questions that your trainer needs to safely and effectively assess your level of fitness and any risk factors that may be present in your health history or lifestyle. In order for you to gain the results you want we need for your training to be safe - the PAR-Q is the industry standard to assess this. Please answer all questions as honestly as you can - our specialized staff can adapt any routine to fit your needs so that you can safely complete our programs.

What is the benefit of a Personal Trainer?

A personal trainer is the key to maximizing your potential in your fitness quest. Personal trainers posess indepth knowledge of anatomy, effective cardiovascular and strength training processes, nutrition, and how the body responds to different kinds of exercise. This knowledge is key to keeping you on the path to your goals and ensuring your safety along the way. If you don’t push yourself hard enough you won’t see results, however if you push too hard and end up injured you run into setbacks caused by muscle injury or misuse.

Let our team of experts provide you with the motiviation you need to keep you going! We offer personalized attention, phone calls and inspirational emails - whatever you need to realize your dreams!

What exactly is Bootcamp? What will I do there?

Bootcamps put together an exciting variety of exercise for you away from the gym. While the benefits of the gym are many, it is easy to get bored. Bootcamp offers a break to that. Each session is different and you never know what to expect. The camp is a specialized program which is a mix of cardiovascular and strength training moves which have been designed to provide maximum results. Bootcamp is FUN. It’s a unique experience designed to get you started or break you out of a fitness rut. What it provides which the gym doesn’t is a structured schedule with accountability which can help keep you on track. It also provides a sense of commarodary and motiviation as you will be working with a group of people for eight weeks who will share in your successes and you will share in theirs.
