Clothing:
Most clients find that athletic or comfortable clothing that allows complete freedom of movement and allows you to stay cool is most convenient.  Most clients will wear a comfortable t-shirt and loose shorts.  Women will want a good support or athletic bra.
Footwear:
Investing in great fitting shoes will make a big difference in your comfort and balance.  Look for athletic shoes with a non-slip sole (no flats, heels, sandals, flip-flops, slides, or hiking boots); athletic footwear stores can help you make a selection based on your foot shape, gait, and use.   Some clients find it easier to have a pair they use only for their workouts and keep them in the car for convenience.  To keep the gym and area floor clean, shoes with dirt, mud, or grass will not be allowed on the studio floor so please plan accordingly. 

A water bottle (that closes – no open containers), workout hand towel (if you sweat), and clean athletic shoes. FAQ fact: water is one of the best drinks you can consume in order to lose weight and stay healthy.

We always try to start and end on time, so usually five to ten minutes before classes is sufficient (try not to arrive any earlier than 10 minutes before the scheduled time to respect the time of other classes or private training sessions). FAQ fact: we want you to enjoy your training session as well as be challenged by it.
Personal Training sessions will start at the time they are scheduled; if you are running late, you will miss out on that time and the session will end at the normal scheduled time. 

All classes and training sessions are approximately 45 minutes with the exception of Beginning Tai Chi which is 30 minutes in length. FAQ fact: we advise bringing water to these sessions even though they are under one hour long.

All classes will begin with a warm-up and description/demonstration of the exercises that are going to be performed.  I will usually give some choices on how to make each exercise easier or more difficult.  Modifications can be made if you have other conditions that prevent you from doing certain exercises due to orthopedic or medical situations – just bring it to my attention before class.  Water breaks will be taken at different opportunities during the class, but feel free to grab a drink or take a break anytime you need one; you know your body best!

We want you to enjoy your fitness experiences so socializing, joking, and talking are encouraged as long as you’re doing the workout and paying attention; remember, people are there to get a good workout!
