A must for all those 16 years of age and older who seek optimal results from their workouts. The consultation is designed in two parts: the evaluation; a review of your medical history and fitness goals and the orientation; a basic program designed to familiarize you with the weight and cardiovascular equipment so proper form and safety are ensured. Upon completion of the consultation, you receive a personalized fitness program designed to guide you to a healthier lifestyle.
To schedule your consultation, please contact Adrian Sadowski at ext. 153.
