GETTING STARTED
After you have signed up and tried a few of our classes the first thing to do is come in for your assessment. Assessments are done through out the week. Check out our schedule in the top right of the page.This is where a certified Fit Forward Trainer will take your measurements, Body Fat and do your goal setting. Then you will do a physical assessment test to determine your starting point. Based on your physical test the trainer will recommend a routine schedule for you to follow. What ever his/her recommendation may be you will need to commit to at least 45 minutes each time your in the gym. You will attend 3-5 times per week depending on your recommendation. If you follow this training program you will experience all the health related benefits of physical activity. The results you are looking for will be yours.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A typical session at Fit Forward consists of three key elements : Warm-up, Activity, and Cool-down. These elements are purposely integrated and designed in this order to give you maximum results and the desired training affects. Most importantly though every session must have a specific purpose. In all sessions you follow your R.P.E.(Rate of Perceived Exertion), specific to each individual’s tolerance to the current level of training. Warm up will last 5-10 minutes and occur just before the activities of the physical training session. You will always perform a standardized warm up that is designed to loosen up the body and prime it for physical exertion. The Activities segment of your workout can consist of multiple workout styles that could have any number of training methods : Kettle Bells, barbell training,calisthenics, ply-metric/dynamics, resistance bands,medicine balls, punch drills, stability exercises, and coordination drills can be expected on any given day. Once you have performed the activity it will always be followed by a standardized cool-down. The cool-down brings you safely back to your pre-exercise state after performing rigorous activities. The cool-down also helps improve flexibility and range of motion.
There are four levels of standardized progression: Elite, Advanced, Intermediate, Beginner
