what is Fundamentals class?

We all start somewhere...

I remember the first time I stepped into a gym. It was one of those big, commercial gyms. As I pretended to know what everything was and how to use it, I felt like everyone was watching me.

All I can remember was the feelings of discomfort and intimidation as I tried to get in shape. I kept reminding myself that most of the members weren't in shape when they started their membership. The feeling of fear was so overwhelming that I quit the gym and try to continue to get fit at home. It wasn't until my mom decided to join the gym with me, that I felt comfortable enough to go back to the gym.

Even when I went to college, the gym their was full of athletes and people who started to work towards their goals before I even decided to get fit. All I could see, was their bodies and gym confidence now.

That "at-a-glance" look at anyone or thing is what holds most of us back from taking the leap into success. We only see everyone's "over-night" success stories, there is never any thought of the blood, sweat and tears that had gone into the success.

Since I can remember, I was always the "fat girl". When I started my journey, I was 5'4" and 170 pounds and had never worked out a day in my life. I was also 18 years old. The goals I had set out for myself and the place from which I had to start seemed out of reach. Something kept pushing me to keep going, to fight for the physique I have today.

During my sophomore year of college, I decided to switch majors from Psychology to Exercise Science because I was committed to helping others reach their goals.

Throughout my journey, there were always people to help me get in shape. Those people always made me feel like I could do it, made the gym feel more like home. I am not sure I would be where I am today without their help.

7 years after I started my journey, I am now able to reflect on my experience. I didn't know that the act of stepping into a gym is very scary, everyone has felt the same feeling. Our trainers and members all try to make everyone feel welcome and a part of our Fit Family, however, if you still aren't convinced you can try our Fundamentals Class.

We will cover the basics; how to lift weights, move correctly, move pain-free and use all of our equipment.
