At In Motion Fitness we want you to:
Here is what a normal day looks like at In Motion
Day 1: What Should I Expect?
Before Class
Step 1: We recommend that you show up around 5-10 minutes prior to the beginning of class to allow time for check-in and to make any wardrobe changes.
Step 2: Once in the gym you will login at the front desk. Many of our members take time before class starts to do additional stretching, foam rolling, or simply hangout!
Our coaches will introduce themselves and answer any questions. They may also introduce you to our member-mentors who can share info and provide encouragement!
During Class
We always begin our workouts with stretching. During this time your coaches will lead you through static and dynamic stretches that are sure to get your body ready for the workout!
After the initial stretching your coach will explain the first part of your workout which consists of strength- based movements. They will demonstrate the movements and variances for these movements to help make them easier or more difficult. Not sure if you can perform the movements due to injury or other reasons? Our coaches can work with you regarding alternative options.
Upon completion of the first part of the workout, your coach will then explain the second part of your workout which consists of Cardio-based movements. Just like the first part of your workout, they will walk through the movements and answer any questions you may have.
During the workouts you are encouraged to work at your own pace. Take plenty of water breaks as needed. In addition, our coaches will be walking around throughout the workout providing encouragement and helpful tips regarding how to perform an exercise. Please feel free to ask any questions!
