What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive fitness and health assessment where we evaluate your current fitness level, discuss your goals, review any injuries or limitations, and learn about your lifestyle and preferences. We then create a personalized exercise program and nutritional guidance plan that feels challenging but achievable. Initial sessions focus on proper form and establishing consistent exercise habits while gradually increasing intensity. We typically recommend 2-3 training sessions per week combined with independent cardio and adherence to your nutrition plan. Progress is tracked through regular fitness assessments, body composition measurements, and goal adjustments. As you improve, we continuously modify your program to prevent plateaus and maintain motivation.

Why Choose Florence Athletics Training

Florence Athletics Training stands out because of our holistic approach that addresses both exercise and nutrition components of weight loss, rather than just offering gym access. Our trainers are educated in both fitness and nutrition, providing comprehensive guidance that creates faster, more sustainable results. Unlike large commercial gyms, we provide personalized attention and modify every program for individual needs and limitations. Our success lies in creating realistic, enjoyable fitness routines that become permanent lifestyle changes rather than temporary fixes. Clients appreciate our supportive environment where everyone is focused on health improvement rather than competitive athletics. Our track record shows consistent results because we focus on education and support, teaching you skills that last beyond your time training with us.

Insurance & Pricing

While personal training isn't typically covered by insurance, many clients use HSA or FSA funds for our services when working toward medical weight loss goals. Personal training sessions range from $60-100 per session depending on package size and frequency. Small group training (2-4 people) costs $35-50 per person per session, making quality training more affordable. We offer package discounts for multiple sessions purchased upfront, and monthly unlimited training options for dedicated clients. Nutritional coaching can often be billed separately and may qualify for insurance coverage when medically necessary. Initial consultations and fitness assessments are complimentary to ensure we're a good fit for your goals and budget.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first session wearing comfortable workout clothes and athletic shoes, and bring a water bottle and towel. Be honest about your current activity level, past injuries, and any concerns about exercise. It's normal to feel sore after initial sessions as your body adapts to new movement patterns. Start with 2-3 sessions per week and gradually increase activity as your fitness improves. Consistency is more important than intensity, especially in the beginning. Track your food intake honestly during the first few weeks to help us identify areas for improvement. Don't expect dramatic changes immediately, sustainable weight loss and fitness improvements take time, but you should notice increased energy and strength within the first month.
