F.A.Q.'s
Q. Do I have to belong to a gym to workout with your personal trainers?
A. No! When you purchase a package of in-gym training sessions from Apogee Fitness, there is never an additional gym membership or initiation fee.
Q. I’ve decided to train at home. What equipment do I need for in-home personal training?
A. Our training does not depend on bulky, expensive fitness equipment, but we may recommend free weights, resistance bands, Swiss ball, or other inexpensive exercise aids. We suggest that you do not purchase these items in advance, but after your first introductory training session, we will let you know the equipment that will work best for your individual program.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. Our personal training packages vary depending on the number of sessions you purchase and the times of day that you train.
Q. When can I train?
A. All of our trainers work by appointment only. They will work with you and your schedule to ensure it is most convenient for you and your lifestyle.
Q. Is there a specific training program that you follow?
A. Apogee does not subscribe to any single fitness fad. Our practices and techniques are based on sound, proven principles of exercise and nutrition. You will receive a full fitness evaluation including heart rate and blood pressure, muscle mass index and circumference measurements, and we will develop a program based on your fitness level, medical history and goals. As your level of fitness increases, your program will be adjusted. You will always be challenged and never bored.
Q. I really need to lose weight. How can personal training help me?
A. Apogee takes an integrated approach to fitness that includes proper exercise and nutrition.
Q. How often should I work out?
A. Most of our clients work out with their personal trainer two to three times a week, and we recommend that you work out on your own an additional two to three times each week.
Q. How can I reach my goals if I only workout twice a week?
A. Apogee trainers do more than workout with you twice a week. They will provide you with a plan to follow on your “off” days from training. They’ll counsel you on how to reduce stress or eat better. They’ll recommend a cardio regimen, if that is one of your goals. They’ll educate you on keeping yourself fit. They are much more than trainers.
Q. What if I’m not happy with my trainer?
A. A strong relationship with your trainer is essential for attaining your fitness goals. You should have confidence in your trainer’s ability and knowledge, and you should genuinely like him or her. Apogee has a very high success rate matching clients with the right trainer. We also have an intensive interview and orientation process for our trainers to insure that their background and qualifications are up to our standards. However, if you are not happy, Apogee’s owner, Tammie Walker, will meet with you to discuss your concerns and alternatives.
Q. Is there a minimum number of training sessions?
A. Our minimum program is 3 sessions or two months, but there are packages of up to 12 months. The longer the amount of time and number of sessions you agree to, the lower your average cost per session.
