Are you a trainer looking for a home for your clients?
Train Out Of Our FacilityMore than a key fob. Six weeks of gym access, coaching, nutrition and accountability, built for beginners and anyone starting over.
Train with a plan, eat with a plan, and check in with a coach who is watching how it goes.
After the program, continue gym access at $97 a month.
Stay on coaching for $99 every 4 weeks, so the progress does not stop at week six.
New member challenges are on the way. Details will be announced here first.
No guessing and no sales pitch. Here is what it costs.
Prices plus applicable tax. The $50 enrollment fee applies to the monthly Gym Only plan and may change in the future. The yearly plan is a 14-month commitment (12 paid months + 2 months free); enrollment and maintenance fees are waived on the yearly plan only. The $97/month rate applies only to members continuing after completing the Six-Week Program. Optional coaching is billed every 4 weeks. Personal training and semi-private training (2 to 4 clients, 30-minute sessions only) are priced separately. All sign-ups, payments and check-ins are handled through Mindbody.
Whether the goal is losing fat, getting properly strong, or stepping on a bodybuilding stage, the approach is the same: take the guesswork out, then hold you to it.
You get a plan that fits your week rather than one that assumes you have nothing else going on, and someone paying attention to how it is actually going.
Something new is coming to the floor. Member challenges built to push you, keep you showing up and give you a clear target to train toward, with your coach in your corner the whole way.
Challenge details, dates, pricing and eligibility will be announced soon.
Our own apparel line is on the way. Built Different. Built Together. Wear it.
