Did you Begin? 

WELCOME TO OUR BEGIN PROGRAM 

We are always thrilled to welcome new members and be a part of their fitness journey right from the beginning. Joining a new space can be daunting; to make your experience with us as comfortable as possible, we are excited to share that we offer three complimentary appointments with our qualified and experienced Fitness Professionals. They are here to help you stay motivated, provide advice, and regularly check-in so you are gaining the most from your Health, Fitness and Wellbeing journey with us. Here are the details of our three complimentary Begin appointments in your first 60 days. 

Appointment 1 – Beginning (45 minutes duration) 

From the Beginning, we will take the time to introduce you to the gym, demonstrate correct techniques and use of the equipment. We will understand your goals, your motivations, and your reasons to change. We will build a baseline to measure and map your progress and develop a personalised gym program designed and demonstrated to you. 

Appointment 2 – Check-In (45 minutes duration) 

Your Check-In is the appointment which will take place approximately four weeks after your Beginning appointment. Here, we will focus on how you are finding your personalised program and where we can make any changes. 

Appointment 3 – Benefits (45 minutes duration) 

In your third appointment, taking place around 8 weeks after your Beginning appointment, we will re-visit your Beginning baseline markers and review how we have progressed in the initial 60 days and the Benefits you have gained. This is a great time to keep things going or add some variety into your program. 

Make the most of your membership!
