Q: How do I get started?
Q: How often should I exercise?
Q: What if I haven't been exercising lately. How do I get started again?
Q: Will someone assist me with my workouts?
A: The main exercise circuits (MedX) are designed so that a fitness instructor will assist you and all our members with your program - they will help with your seat heights, proper form, and motivation. This is not the same as personal training - which gives you one-on-one time with a trainer, the circuits are designed to give everyone assistance at the time most needed (at the beginning, or end of your workout) and be available at all times to all of our members. If you feel you need more one-on-one attention, we offer Personal Training for an additional fee.
