How is Fitness Corps different than a gym?

Group support - Who misses you when you don't show up to the gym? One of the things we are most proud
of is the solidarity that forms within classes. If you are missing from class, you can bet you will be hearing from one of your new friends. It is Fitness Corps supportive atmosphere and camaraderie that helps people thrive.

  Goal setting: Each client works with a trainer to outline long and short-term goals. Clients are in regular contact with their trainers to assess progress and make any necessary changes to the program. Additionally,  quarterly fitness evaluations provide further objective data regarding progress.
  Fitness evaluations: Each client receives an initial fitness evaluation upon joining the program. This includes: body fat assessment, blood pressure checks, abdominal endurance, upper body strength, and fitness planning.  Subsequently, quarterly evaluations are performed to assess areas of strength and weakness.
  Outdoors: Most folks are inside all day long. Why not exercise outdoors? The great outdoors
allows for increased variety, fresh air, and FUN!!!
 
What do you get when you join Fitness Corps?

Personal training at group rates: Although you are participating in a group class, you will receive one-on-one time with your trainer throughout your participation with Fitness Corps. This includes goal-setting sessions, fitness evaluations, and race support. Fitness Corps uses a health screening questionnaire that is based on recommendations from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
