2025 New Year’s Fit Prep Program: Registration is Live!

Jana Wenzlawe • December 12, 2024

We love our Prep Programs! Sometimes you just need a kick start to get you moving in the right direction.

We know, we know…. New years resolutions and goals are over rated as they fade VERY quickly. But that doesn’t mean we throw the natural motivation to start new habits out the window. Let’s make a plan, commit to something that you will NOT regret.

We know that fully committing to a gym membership can be daunting and maybe just slightly overwhelming so our Prep Programs offer just the right dose to help you get moving. 

What are Prep Programs?  They are small group training sessions that are coached, and programmed to provide a great fitness and movement experience in a positive, supportive and non-intimidating environment. We get glowing reviews and many repeat Prep Program members who just love their time with us.

We offer a handful of Prep Programs throughout the year: New Years, Endurance, Ski Prep etc

Here are the details:
