FAQs
- Do we have to attend the Kick-Off Party?
- Yes, all participants must attend the kick-off party. All teams will be present to meet each other and your trainers. We will review all aspects of the program and you will have an opportunity to ask questions.
- Do I have to attend every week? If I cannot make my team’s class can I go to another team’s class?
- You should make it a priority to attend your team workout class every week. If you need to miss due to illness or travel you should notify your trainer and are responsible to complete all other weekly program components. Your trainer is working specifically with you and your team. Participants from one team cannot attend another team’s class as a make-up or under any other circumstance.
- Will I be able to complete all of the exercises?
- This is a beginner level program that is designed to get progressively more challenging as your strength and endurance increases. Trainers will provide modifications for all exercises.
- If I cannot make the InBody assessment, may I still participate?
- The InBody assessment is an essential component of this program given the benefit of learning your basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest) and guidelines for daily caloric needs. You can still participate in the program but there are no refunds for missing the assessment appointment.
- Is there an eating plan and/or diet associated with this program?
- We will provide suggestions and basic nutrition content but will not supply specific meal plans to participants. You will be responsible to determine the best plan for you given the provided resources, guidance from your InBody assessment results, and nutrition review opportunities.
