Personal Training
It all starts by setting a goal. After we’ve done that, we can discuss how to get there. But first, let me tell you that we are not a fitness club and we actually do care if you get results or not, in fact our reputation depends on it. We don’t sell memberships or have large impersonal classes with poor quality personal trainers. We are a personal training center and we are about personal contact. That means we want to get to know you and ask the hard questions like:
What are your weaknesses? What should your weight really be? What did you eat this morning? Are your actions in line with your goal?
These are some of the questions we ask to understand how to guide you in the right direction to living a healthy, lean and vibrant life. We provide you with a nutrition plan and a great personal trainer to not only teach you proper exercise and motivate you but to keep you on track and progressing.
If you don’t care about this and you’re looking for a large group exercise program where the instructor doesn’t even know your goals, limitations and weakness then we’re definitely not for you. But if you’re looking for a more personalized approach with knowledgeable, friendly, expert personal trainers that can help you and motivate you to get to your goal, you may have just found the team that will change your life.
Features
One on One Personal Training:
These are session of 30 minutes in length and are just you and your personal trainer. They are sold in single sessions or packages. The more sessions you purchase the less expensive it gets.
One on one personal training is the best way to get the most effective workout when at the gym. When you purchase a package of sessions a program will be designed specific to your goal, when buying just one session at a time you are basically getting time with a trainer to cover whatever it is that you wanted to work on for that session. Single sessions are mainly for trainees that wish to get an extra little kick out of a specific workout or be shown a few new things, while packages are for those that want to get the most out of the each session.
Nutritional Weight Loss Guidance:
You’ll get the guidance that you need to succeed and stay on track. For the past 9 years we have been using our nutrition plans for weight loss, muscle gain and improved health. Combine years of expertise, a supportive community, a certified nutrition consultant and the result is a proven.
In the consultation - You’ll get important information on the weeks weight loss topic and a confidential weigh-in (including bodyfat) each week to keep you on track. Meetings are an opportunity to get expert advice, share helpful strategies—or just listen and find motivation. It’s 15 minutes out of your week and it’s worth it.
Free Form Anywhere - Looking for a healthy snack? Need the motivation to stay on track? Free Form Anywhere is your Internet connection to Free Form throughout the week—at home, at the office, wherever you are. People who use tools to help them stay on track between meetings lose 30% more weight on average than those who attend weekly meetings alone.
Personal Training Guidance Membership:
This is a full body routine that changes every month. It is designed for you and you are educated on how to perform each exercise and train each muscle group properly one on one with your trainer. Each session is 30 minutes in length. It allows you full access to the facility and 3 nutrition consultations throughout the year.
These routines are designed to maximize recovery times of muscles so that you never over train and continue to make gains. Generally these routines are for more experienced trainees since these sessions do not provide us enough time in order to get you up to speed on the intensity level you should be working at in order to reach your full potential.
Semi-Private Group Personal Training:
Group training consists of a trainer and 4-5 clients for 8 weeks. The advantage to these sessions are that you will save some money on the session cost, once you decide to do the group training we both try to fill up the group, once filled you can start. However, these sessions are only for clients with the same goal. If each person is not working on the same goal all involved will not receive the results that they would when training one on one.
In-Work Corporate Small Group Personal Training:
We offer group training in corporations just like we do in-house as well. Groups of 2-6 with one personal trainer is what we can offer at your place of work with little to no equipment required. We will bring the necessary equipment for the session taking place that day. The pricing for the in-work training is a bit higher than our regular sessions due to the trainer needing time to travel.

"I have been at Free Form Fitness for 10 weeks now, and cannot believe the results I have gotten. In 10 weeks I have lost an incredible 50lbs, and it has been enjoyable the entire time. I have not only lost the weight and feel much better, but have learned how to eat properly, work out with a purpose and have been taught how to reach goals. As a person who has avoided ‘gyms’ my entire life I can say that I wasn’t eager to get started, I remember my first session where my trainer Chelsea told me ‘don’t worry everyone here is very inviting, this will become your second home’, well she was right, everyday I am greeted with a friendly smile and have never felt out of place, I am now excited to walk into the gym and start working out and look forward to it everyday. An added bonus what I am experiencing with Free Form is the trainers are not only with you during your 30 minute sessions, but is there for you on a daily basis if needed, offering great advice and answering all my questions. I never feel like I’m alone!
I am very excited about continuing on in my program, I feel as though I have not only found a great way to lose the weight, but I have also found a wonderful support team to help me along the way.
Thanks Chelsea, and everyone at Free Form Fitness!"

"My trainer at FFF has completely transformed my outlook on life! I've been given many tools to change the way I decide what foods to eat and how I value the importance of exercise.
Having the appointments to meet with my trainer has definitely been a huge help. Even if I'm tired and think I don't feel like going to the gym, I know I have a commitment with someone and must make my appointment. Once I'm there I always become more energized and enjoy every minute of my session. Being given a nutrition plan to follow has also been very helpful. It taught me how much I should be eating, what foods are best and which foods to definitely avoid. Having a meal plan is so easy to follow and the routine of what to eat each day completely keeps me on track.
I lost 30lbs, built muscle, and seen major changes in my energy/motivation levels. It's been six months so far and I plan on continuing with my new lifestyle and I look forward to continuing to work with my trainer to lose 20 more pounds and build more muscle.
My FFF trainer keeps me totally focused, informed and motivated on making my body/lifestyle a lot healthier. Everyone who works at FFF is very personable and it's a great atmosphere to be in. I wouldn't go anywhere else!"

In the short amount of time I have been with you I have seen results I never thought I could. I never really needed to “lose weight”, but I’m really impressed with how the shape of my body has changed – especially that my hips, thighs & bum have become smaller. My goal was to look better at 35 than I did at 25 and I think I’m well on my way. I have also learned the importance of nutrition and the role it plays.
Thank you to all of you for always really working as a team to help everyone achieve their goals! I am looking forward to more fun times with you all and setting my new goals!"

"The only way I'll go to a gym is if I am being pushed. Chelsea does just that. Every workout is unique and challenging. I always feel like I earned my protein shake at the end of our sessions.
Not only have I decreased in body fat, pounds and inches; but I have a better understanding of nutrition and what my body needs for fuel to keep me going during the work day.
Plain and simple, if you want results, Free Form can help you accomplish your fitness goals."

"Their slogan is “No bull…just results”.
It’s true. I had been training at another gym for a few years, and was only moderately pleased with the slow progress I was making. I started training at FFF in May 2008, and saw a change in my strength, energy, and appearance in just a few weeks. My body fat percentage decreased and I lost inches exactly where I wanted to. It’s hard not to get good results when you follow the recommendations. I scheduled my workouts weeks in advance and taped my meal plan to the fridge, so it became a no-brainer, which is important for me since I have such a full schedule.
The principles are sound, and the training is effective and highly motivating. The “Abs on the Go” book is great, especially the food charts, recipes, and goal-setting guidelines. For me personally, I like to be challenged and pushed beyond the limits of my comfort zone, and that’s exactly what I get from training at FFF."

“I am FEMALE (older).I started at "Free Form Fitness" in the fall of 2007. I wanted to loose some weight and get rid of my gut - but - I had health issues. I had serious neck surgery the year before and wondered if a "gym" was for me.
I went to FFF to be assessed. FFF did measurements of weight and body fat calculations. They inquired about my present eating habits and exercise.
I gave them the info.
My trainer put it all together for me:
A plan ------ exercises that were beneficial for me. If my neck did not agree with the exercise, my trainer would listen to me and (on the spot) re vamp the exercise . "Custome fit program FOR ME".
I have lost 10 lbs and my gut is getting smaller and I feel GREAT!
My trainer (tormentor) is great! Without my trainer I would not have come this far. I have come a L O N G way since the fall of 2007.
A Free Form Fitness member and so happy to be one!”

"After only a few weeks, I reached my first goal of losing 10-15 pounds and I am still working on a couple other problem areas! I feel confident and good about myself and I look much better and substantially closer to how I looked in my youth! I have also learned a lot more about good nutrition and, as a result, given up a few misconceptions I had about working out. Thanks FFF. I definitely needed the motivation and you guys delivered!"

Thanks to FFF, I have finally found a service which helps me get to the best I can be. Regardless of athletic ability or goals, FFF allows their client's to help define and surpass their physical and nutritional health and lifestyle vision. I would never have believed that 2- 30 minute focussed work outs a week could accomplish so much. Its easy once you commit. The knowledge and service of all FFF coaches goes beyond anything I could have imagined. Its not a gym its a way of life.
