- 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.

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
