FitSTART
A Special Invitation for all new exercisers... and all who don't know how to begin!

Make a lasting lifestyle change with FitSTART!

Who?
Starting exercisers who want to make a lasting lifestyle change to include regular exercise. If you are new to exercise or are starting back after a long layoff, FitSTART is designed specially for you.

What?
FitSTART is a 12 week structured commitment to exercise a minimum of 3 times a week, that includes your own "coach". Exercise is added in small increments to enhance success and minimize discomfort.

When?
You make an initial appointment. You sign a behavioral contract. You mutually set goals and begin with a cardiovascular plan to start. Strength is not added until the fourth week. And the last three weeks prepare you for the lifetime continuation of your newly learned behavior. Also, you exercise on your own schedule.

Where?
In our state-of-the-art Fitness Center, consisting of LifeFitness® Cardiovascular and Nautilus® Strength equipment all connected to the workout tracking system – Nautilus Fitness Advisor®. Or wherever else you desire in the facility, outdoors or at home, recording everything you accomplish.

Why?
Because we know it can be difficult starting and sticking with an exercise program. With our help you can! You will feel better about yourself and you will lead a healthier, more energy-filled life!

How?
Easy…Simply register at the Member Service Desk!

Guarantee
After completing the commitment of 12 weeks in the structured program, if you are not satisfied with it, we will credit you for three months membership. We are convinced that you will be on your way to the lifestyle changes needed to improve your health.
