In-Person

Starting September 22, 2026

Tuesdays, 9:00 – 10:00 AM

Looking for a supportive space to build confidence in your workouts? Open Gym is a one-hour supervised training session designed to give you the freedom to move at your own pace while having a certified personal trainer available for guidance every step of the way.

We’ll begin each session with a group warm-up to prepare your body for movement. From there, you’ll have the opportunity to complete your own workout, receive personalized exercise suggestions, or enjoy a combination of both. Whether you’re new to the gym, returning to exercise, or simply looking for ideas to refresh your routine, this is your time to learn, move, and grow.

Throughout the session, I’ll be available to answer questions, demonstrate proper use of equipment and training modalities, recommend exercises based on your goals, and provide alignment cues, technique corrections, and movement modifications to help you exercise safely and effectively. If you already have a workout plan, you’re welcome to use this time to complete it with the added benefit of professional supervision and feedback.

The session concludes with a guided cool-down and stretching period to encourage recovery, mobility, and mindful movement.

Open Gym is perfect for anyone who wants the independence of working out on their own while enjoying the encouragement, knowledge, and support of a personal trainer in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.
