Before starting your exercise routine with us, new members are encouraged to participate in a complimentary orientation to become familiar with our cardiovascular and strength machines. You'll learn how to safely set up equipment, find the right weight or resistance for you, and how to progress as you get stronger. These small group sessions are led by a staff exercise physiologist and tailored to your goals.
