What to Expect
-
Your Health Screen Profile and Informed Consent forms will be sent to you in advance. Please bring the completed forms to your first session.
-
First, we will go over your health screening form together to better understand your current status and ensure there is nothing that would prohibit you from starting your exercise program.
-
Then, I will do a general field assessment to evaluate your balance, eye-hand coordination, flexibility, and general and core strength, as well as a visual posture analysis. This helps me design an exercise program that's customized for you, whether you need challenging, advanced workouts, a senior fitness program, or something in between.
What to Wear
-
Please dress appropriately for exercise. There is a place to change if you are arriving in street clothes.
-
Kindly do not wear street shoes in the training area! Please bring clean, "indoor" fitness shoes with you.
-
You are welcome to leave a pair of fitness shoes at the studio for your convenience.
