First Timers

We know coming to a new Gym can be a bit of a challenge, both in the workouts and learning the logistics. Here’s some of the most common questions and concerns

What should I know before coming?

Arrive 10 min in advance

This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the checkin process, allow your trainer to verify all your “paper work” (sign up process) is complete and check your vaccine receipts (February 2022).

📝 Liability Waiver: Please have completed prior to your first class. We'll have you sign an iPad before, not after the class starts

✅ Check in - On the iPad in reception, we have a “check in” app for you to mark that you’re here. This will ensure you are not accidentally charged for a no show.

👟 Indoor Shoes We ask that you bring a 2nd pair of shoes for indoor use only. Shoes worn outside CANNOT BE WORN ON THE GYM FLOOR.

🚘 Parking: Lots of parking on site but If it’s full, there’s lots of free, walkable street parking.

🚿 Showers and shower towels are available. Hair dryers, irons are also provided. Sweat towels, however, are not. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TOWEL OR BUY ONE FROM YOUR TRAINER.

🌡 We keep the climate “comfortable” so it may feel a bit cool when first arriving. Bring layers.

🚰 You can fill up your water bottle at our reception filling station (also known as a sink) or we have water for purchase.

🎒 Lockers are available for day use only. Please put all belongings in lockers and do not leave on the Gym Floor. Please do not leave any items, including shoes behind (we donate items that get left behind!)

⛔️ 1 Hour Cancellation Policy - We ask that you only book classes that you know you can attend as spaces are limited. Late Cancels and No Shows are charged a fee after 1 grace. Full Details

Class Structure

🏋️‍♂️ You can see the workout details through our Workout Tracking App Wodup but here’s a sample outline

Workout Prep (Warm up + Outline)
- 12-16 min
- General Prep - body temp, joint and tissue prep
- Primer/Fire Drill - Movement specific prep for the workout i.e. we’re squatting today, we’re doing squat related movements, we’re sprinting today, we’re doing sprint specific warm ups
Work
- 34-38 min
- Single or multiple part workouts depending on format - Strength workouts are typically 4 movements we “super set” and emphasize building up movement proficiency then loading up the movement. Conditioning workouts are up to 12 movements (including cardio) and focus on building up heart rate.

You don’t stretch after?

This becomes a bit of a philosophical debate - If you move correctly through a full range of motion under load, you are stretching and mobilizing effectively enough to reap the benefits of stretching. That being said, everyone is different and has different goals. That’s why we encourage people no only to hang around after for warm downs (box breathing in anti sitting positions) but to also show up early for tissue prep and mobilization specific to you (foam rollers, lacrosse balls and bands etc…)

At Fuel, a huge part of our underlying philosophy on being better is to track your workouts “what gets measured gets managed”. This will help provide the best possible experience for you and result in faster and more sustainable results. It’s easy use, fun to engage and will help you be better.
