What is semi-private personal training?

Semi-private training gives you an individualized workout plan and live coaching within a small-group environment. You receive personal guidance without having to train alone.

No. We work with adults at different fitness levels, including people returning after years away from exercise. Your program begins at an appropriate starting point for you.

Can exercises be modified for me?

Yes. Your coach can adjust exercises, resistance, range of motion, and progressions according to your current abilities and training needs.

Functional Life offers coaching plans from one to four sessions per week. During your Starting Point Session, we will recommend a schedule based on your goals and availability.

What happens during my free session?

We discuss your goals, learn about previous challenges, review your movement and starting point, and recommend the coaching option that best fits your needs.
