hOW DOES YOUR PERSONAL TRAINING pROGRAM WORK?
You will go over this more in detail on your initial call with our head personal trainer but a general overview is we will create your program based on your exact needs. We’ll make sure you get into the gym a couple of times a week and we’ll also meet regularly to make changes to your program to help you keep progressing. This is why all of our clients have had such great results in half the time because we stay on top of everything.
The website says spots are limited...why is that?
That is true spots are limited to our program. Due to the level of personalization, we only have the capacity to work with a certain amount of clients. Every client gets individual attention. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach because everyone's body and goals are unique. Our team of certified personal trainers and nutritionists work with you to create a fitness plan tailored to YOUR needs and goals. Because of this, we can NOT work with an overabundance of clients.

Is the personal training 1on1 or Small Group?
At AB Fitness, we offer both 1-on-1 personal training and our signature small group program to cater to your preferences and needs. The small group option is our most popular choice for its convenience in scheduling and attractive price point. With a MAXIMUM of 6 clients to 1 personal trainer in our small group sessions, you are guaranteed ample attention and a motivating community atmosphere. We understand the importance of flexibility, we offer a variety of workout times to ensure you can always find a slot that suits your schedule. While 1-on-1 training is available, it is typically recommended for individuals facing physical limitations or severe injuries. At AB Fitness, your fitness journey is customizable to your unique needs and goals, providing you with the flexibility and support you deserve.
Can i go in AB FITNESS CENTER ON MY OWN AND WORKOUT WITHOUT A TRAINER?
No, AB Fitness Center is not an open regular gym. We specialize in only personal training. Every time you workout at AB Fitness Center a personal trainer will be with you to ensure you are using proper form and keeping yourself safe.
What can I expect from the workouts? What kind of equipment will I be using?
The only thing that burns fat 24/7 is muscle. Muscle is the only thing that burns fat...not cardio. You will notice we don’t have any fancy machines or cardio equipment here. We base our workouts around the exercises that utilize the most amount of muscle at once. Your workout will be modified according to our evaluation and what you are capable of doing. Our coaches will never give you something to do that you cannot successfully accomplish while still pushing you to get better every session.
What if I cant keep up?
There’s no expectation here to compete with anyone other than yourself. Since our sessions are small and personalized, everyone moves at their own pace and performs the appropriate variations of the exercise so they get the most out of the time they spend with us. Our workouts are tailored to YOUR abilities. We meet you right where you are currently. We will never give you an exercise that you are not ready for physically. We have successfully personal trained people of all different shapes and sizes. We work with all kinds of people here at AB Fitness Center. 70 year old post knee replacement clients, a mom of 3 who wants to lose stomach fat and a total beginner, our personal trainers are skilled enough to help them all reach their own individual goals, safety and effectively. We have worked with members from 18 years old to 84 years old.
I am dealing with an injury is AB Fitness center for me?
This is what makes us special and what really makes us personal training. Unlike other fitness programs out there we can work around any fitness injury. Bad shoulder, knee or back pain? We can find solutions to help your body while strengthening up the weaker areas without pain. We have worked with people recovering from all kinds of surgeries from total knee replacements, frozen shoulders to bad backs, we fit the training to you not the other way around. Most joint pain can be resolved through strategically and intentionally strengthening the muscles and connective tissues around the joint. By increasing your functional strength, you’ll be able to improve the resilience of your joints. And by losing some unwanted fat, you’ll decrease the pressure that your joints absorb through all your daily movement. When done properly with good form, strength training doesn’t get you injured. Being weak gets you injured.
Is this like any other program?
I am happy to say NO! In most other group workout programs there could be anywhere from 20-40 people for one coach with a workout program that is NOT tailored to you. There is no individual coaching there, no one is watching your form or modifying exercises you cant do. With us you are paying for the attention you need to get the results you are looking at. Here at AB Fitness Center we believe that the coach to client ratio is very important for proper progression and individualization. Plus most of those workouts are centered around cardio which isnt a long term solution to reshaping your body.
Are the PERSONAL TRAIners at ab fitness center certified?
Yes, all of the personal trainers at AB Fitness Center are certified professionals. They have completed extensive education and training in areas such as exercise science, human anatomy, kinesiology, and injury prevention, and are dedicated to providing safe and effective training programs to help you reach your fitness goals.

Along with that all coaches must have a bachelors degree as well.

How big is the personal training facility ab fITNESS center?
At AB Fitness Center, we believe that the size of the gym doesn't determine the magnitude of your results. Our focus is not on the square footage, and shiny useless machines but on delivering LIFE CHANGING results for you! This allows us to provide the attention, guidance, and personalized support needed to help you achieve your fitness goals. Our motto at the facility is, "Small Gym, Big Results," which encapsulates our philosophy perfectly. It's not about the newest fancy equipment or a pool or sauna, but rather the dedication, expertise, and commitment we bring to every session for YOU. Our intimate personal training environment fosters a sense of family and ensures you receive the focused training experience necessary to unlock your full potential.
Will there be cardio?
Chances are, most fitness programs you’ve experienced relied heavily on cardio exercises. That’s probably due to the laziness of the trainer. Cardio exercises are easier to coach than strength training, and they give the participants the feeling of being sweaty and exhausted … so it feels like they had a great workout. Unfortunately, doing a bunch of random exercises until you’re sweaty and exhausted isn’t training … it’s entertainment. And a dangerous form of it, at that. At AB Fitness, our focus is on getting stronger, improving our flexibility, and supporting healthy joints so we can do all the activities we love without pain as we get older. Short, simple doses of high-intensity cardiovascular training will be sprinkled in here and there. Think of it as the seasoning, whereas strength training is the meat and potatoes.
We also prioritize education and support to ensure that you understand the reasoning behind the exercises and nutritional recommendations. This empowers you to make sustainable lifestyle changes rather than relying on quick-fix diets and programs.
Overall, what sets AB Fitness Center apart is our commitment to your success through a personalized approach, education, and support.

How many times a week do I need to come and What should I be doing outside the gym?
It depends on your individual goals, how fast you would like to achieve them, and your schedule but 2-5xs a week is the average time you need to dedicate to your fitness. 3xs a week is ideal because your muscles will need time to recover from training. The goal is to get you maximum results in the least amount of time possible. You shouldn't have to spend hours in the gym just to get in shape.
How does the nutrition program work?
70% of your results will come from your nutrition. You will receive a nutrition program designed by our Certified Nutritionist to help teach you how to eat for life! In addition you will also work with our accountability coach. This is the key element is getting you "Results on Demand". All you have to do is show up and we take care of the rest! We ensure you never fall off! We also have our own app so we can monitor your nutrition and keep you accountable 24/7.
What if I don’t need any help with my nutrition? I already know what to do, I just need to do it.
Look, the truth is, we all know what we need to do better when it comes to our nutrition. Eat more lean protein, veggies and fruits … limit processed foods and high-calorie beverages, etc. Unfortunately, knowing what to do and not doing it produces the same result as not knowing what to do. And that result is usually disappointment. The key to improving your nutrition … and actually doing the things you know you should be doing … is having a caring, knowledgeable coach who can map it out step-by-step, support you through the whole process, and hold you accountable.
What is the schedule of the personal training sessions?
I dont know anyone who can find time to exercise. We have never had anyone tell us "I have too much free time, I think I'll just spend a few hours in the gym everyday."
It's always the opposite: most of us lead busy lives and feel we don't have time for anything new. But in almost all cases, that just isn't true. As much as people would like to think they're too busy to exercise if they broke down and rearranged how they spend every waking minute they could figure it out.
People who have successfully transformed their bodies have the same 24 hours in a day to go to work, enjoy family time, have a social life, and do everything else we have to juggle. Those people simply make those 30 mins of training important enough to be part of their plan.
We offer flexible scheduling with early morning sessions (starting at 6am) and late night sessions (ending at 8pm). Our sessions are typically 30 minutes and we have a scheduling app so you can control when you come in. We allow you to move your appointments around to fit your life so you can fit fitness into your life! We want to make this possible for you not impossible!

i AM NOT SURE IF MY SPOUSE WILL ALLOW ME TO DO THIS PROGRAM?
This is understandable. Maybe you have tried other programs in the past, maybe your spouse has seen you try various programs and none of them worked for you. AB Fitness will give you all 3 pillars of fitness needed to have long term success. This time around it will be different than others because you will have an accountability coach on your side to ensure you show up and get the results you are looking for. In fact your spouse will be so impressed with you this time around that you will even inspire them to get started with us also!
How much does a personal trainer cost?
Personal training can be very expensive. Lets say you went to a big box gym and you tried to hire a personal trainer there. It could run you about $120-$150 per hour! But our programs vary in price depending on what we deem necessary for you based on your goals. We put together a plan for you during our initial Evaluation. During your evaluation we dive down deep into your goals, determine current body composition levels, do an in depth nutritional analysis and from there we can really determine what its going to take to get your results. Price is around $40 per session...could be higher or lower depending on the options you select. Fill out the form below and our head trainer will go over all the details with you!
Is there a membership contract?
Our membership contracts operate on a month-to-month basis, ensuring you have the freedom to choose what works best for you without any long-term commitments. The pricing of your contract is tailored to your individual needs, considering factors such as workout frequency and the addition of nutrition coaching. While we understand the desire for immediate results, achieving lasting changes in fitness requires time and dedication. We recommend a minimum commitment of 4-6 months to fully immerse yourself in the process. Remember, your progress is a journey, and the more you adhere to your program, the more transformative and lasting the results will be.
