How It Works

The Smart Start Program includes up to three free one-on-one sessions with a qualified coach. You'll get:

  • A guided tour of our fitness equipment and spaces
  • A personalized discussion about your goals and preferences
  • A custom fitness plan designed to build lasting habits
  • Ongoing accountability and motivation from our staff

Whether you're into strength training, walking, swimming, cycling, or just getting started—this program helps you find your fit.

Before your first session, consider:

  • What do I want to achieve?
  • Why is it important to me?
  • What helps me stay on track—and what gets in the way?
