Our Personal Training Approach
At Fitclub, we believe effective personal training goes beyond simply counting reps or demonstrating exercises. Our comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of fitness and wellness to deliver sustainable, life-changing results.
Initial Assessment and Goal Setting
Every personal training relationship begins with a thorough assessment of your current fitness level, movement patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement. We'll discuss your goals in detail—whether they involve weight loss, strength gains, sports performance, or improved health markers—and establish clear, measurable objectives.
This initial assessment serves as our baseline, allowing us to track your progress and make data-driven adjustments to your program over time. We'll also identify any limitations or considerations that might require modifications to your training approach.
Customized Program Design
Based on your assessment and goals, your trainer will develop a completely personalized training program. Unlike cookie-cutter plans found online, your program will be specifically engineered to:
- Account for your unique body mechanics and movement patterns
- Address any mobility restrictions or previous injuries
- Target your specific goals with research-backed methods
- Fit within your available time commitment
- Provide appropriate progression as you advance
Our trainers apply the principles of progressive overload, periodization, and specificity to ensure your program continues to challenge you appropriately as you grow stronger and more capable.
Expert Coaching and Technique Refinement
Proper technique is crucial not only for preventing injuries but also for ensuring you get maximum benefit from every exercise. Our personal trainers provide constant feedback and cues to help you master movement patterns and exercise execution.
This expert guidance helps you:
- Develop proper form from the beginning, preventing bad habits
- Target the intended muscles more effectively
- Reduce risk of injury from improper movement patterns
- Learn body awareness that transfers to everyday activities
- Understand the purpose behind each exercise in your program
With this knowledge and skill development, you'll become more self-sufficient and confident in your fitness journey, even outside your personal training sessions.
Nutrition and Lifestyle Support
Physical training is just one component of a successful fitness transformation. Through our partnership with 1st Phorm, we provide detailed nutritional guidance through the 1st Phorm App, helping you optimize your diet through whole foods and strategic supplementation to ensure proper macro and micronutrient intake.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Training
How often should I work with a personal trainer to see results?
For optimal results, we recommend training with your personal coach 2-3 times per week. This frequency provides enough stimulus for progress while allowing adequate recovery. However, even one session per week can be beneficial, especially when combined with additional self-directed workouts based on your trainer's guidance. Your trainer will recommend the ideal frequency based on your specific goals, fitness level, and schedule.
I'm a complete beginner. Is personal training right for me?
Absolutely! In fact, beginners often benefit most from personal training. Starting with professional guidance helps you build proper movement patterns from day one, preventing injuries and ensuring efficient progress. Our trainers are experienced in working with clients of all fitness levels and will create an appropriate program that gradually introduces you to exercise while building your confidence and capabilities.
What should I expect during my first personal training session?
Your first session will primarily focus on assessment and goal-setting. Your trainer will:
- Discuss your health history and fitness goals in detail
- Perform movement assessments to evaluate mobility and form
- Take baseline measurements relevant to your goals
- Introduce you to some foundational exercises
- Outline your training plan moving forward
Come dressed in comfortable workout clothes and athletic shoes, and be ready to move, but know that the first session is more about gathering information than an intense workout.
How long does it take to see results from personal training?
While individual results vary based on factors like consistency, nutrition, and starting point, most clients begin noticing improvements within 2-4 weeks. These initial changes often include increased energy, better mood, and improved strength or endurance. Physical changes like weight loss or muscle definition typically become more noticeable after 6-8 weeks of consistent training combined with proper nutrition. Your trainer will help set realistic expectations based on your specific situation and goals.
Do you provide nutritional guidance with personal training?
Yes, nutritional guidance is a key component of our approach through the 1st Phorm App. You will get personalized macros, delicious recipes and be able to log and track all of your intake right in the app. Our certified advisors within the 1st Phorm app provide detailed nutritional guidance, helping clients optimize their diet through whole foods and strategic supplementation to ensure proper macro and micronutrient intake.
What age groups do you work with for personal training?
At Fitclub, we provide personal training for clients of all ages from 5 to 105! We customize our approach based on age-appropriate guidelines and developmental considerations. Whether you're looking for youth fitness development, adult performance training, or senior mobility and strength work, our trainers have the expertise to work with your specific needs.
