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.
We have a max capacity and the website is updated with the amount of slots open. Scroll to the bottom of this page and apply for your spot today!

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.

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.

I AM REALLY OUT OF SHAPE OR I have never worked out before will I be able to “keep up”?

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 you transform your body while strengthening up the weaker areas without pain.  Our Fitness system is tailored for your abilities. We have also worked with people recovering from all kinds of surgeries from total knee replacements to bad backs, we fit the training to you not the other way around.

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. They hold certifications from reputable organizations such as ISSA, NASM, NSCA or ACSM and are required to stay updated with the current training standards and trends. Along with that all coaches must have a bachelors degree as well.
But we don't stop there, as a part of our hiring process, we put all new trainers through a 90-day in-house training program to ensure they understand and can effectively implement our unique methods and approach. Our team is also well-rounded with some of our trainers being nutritionists, they have their degrees in nutrition. Also, our owner Anthony has over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry and he personally trains and oversees every trainer to make sure our clients receive the best guidance and training possible. We also provide weekly staff trainings and encourage our trainers to take continuing education courses to stay up-to-date on the latest research and techniques in the fitness industry. You can rest assured that you are in good hands with our certified, well-trained, experienced, and well-rounded personal trainers at our gym.

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.

What makes AB Fitness Center Different?

What we do and why we're different is not only do we teach you how to do this stuff for life but you will get unlimited access to the team where you can text or call us anytime you want. So, every morning, we'll text you and say, "how're you doing? What's going on? Are you struggling? How can we adjust things?" Or you go, "Hey, I had something come up. The girls want to go get brunch, I don't know what to do." And we'll say, "Take a deep breath, it's not a big deal. You're going to make this small adjustment. Go enjoy the brunch." Right? Because here's the deal. If you start giving up events with your kids or with someone you date or whatever you decide to do, if you go out and say, "I can't have that, kids, I'm on the AB Fitness plan. Its just not sustainable because what they're doing is they're giving up their happiness and moments in time that they can never get back for a six pack and that's ridiculous. 
​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.
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?

2-5xs a week is the average times you need to dedicate to coming to the gym. 3xs a week is ideal because your muscles will need time to recover from training. I know its hard to believe but despite what others tell you its not about quantity its about quality of work! We want to get your maximum results in the least amount of time possible. You shouldnt have to spend hours in the gym just to get in shape. You should be able to do your workout and have time left for whats important in life!

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.

My Schedule is really crazy how can i fit this in?

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 830pm). 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 like alcohol & Bread, is it ok to eat and drink the foods I love?

Of course! No food is off limits! The key is educating you on how to account for these drinks into your plan. We teach you how you can fit the drinks or foods that you love into your day so you can still make progress. We dont want you to choose between living your life and results, with us you can truly have both. By adopting this flexible approach to your nutrition you can sustain this way of life much easier. 

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.
