FAQ
Where are you located? Our facility is
located 1390 10th Street in Berkeley, one block south of Gilman.
Can I drop-in all day and/or use the facility on
my own? Currently, our facility is only available during
classes or while working with a trainer. However, we would be happy to
show you around by appointment. Please call or email us to schedule
your visit.
What are the class workouts like at Phoenix Gym?
Our programs combine techniques and methods from a variety of sources,
including sports conditioning, weight training, kickboxing, martial
arts, yoga, and cardio exercise. Every single class is different, and
we build on skills to create workouts that are consistently challenging
and effective.
What is personal training like? We
create individualized programs designed with your specific abilities,
strengths, and limitations in mind to help you meet your personal goals
as effectively as possible. We provide one-on-one attention and
motivation to ensure you are able to work to your highest capacity, and
learn new skills efficiently. We offer individual training tailored to
your goals in overall fitness and conditioning, kickboxing, and
sport-specific performance.
I've never exercised before. Are your programs
right for me? Lack of experience or athletic ability is a
great starting point. Many of our clients are new to exercise, and our
trainers were also new to exercise once, so we know what it is like. We
love working with beginners, because the gains you will make are often
especially exciting.
I'm an experienced athlete. Are your programs
right for me? Our group classes provide challenges for people
at all fitness levels. Personal training takes it further by focusing
on your specific requirements.
I'm very self-motivated. Is it worth it for me
to try this? Even the most self-disciplined people will find
that they can often benefit significantly by working with a trainer and
in a group. In addition to learning new skills, there's the motivation
of accountability, and we offer that in spades. Plus the people here
are fun to be around.
I have an injury. Would I be fine in your group
classes? It depends. More often than not, having an injury
does not mean you have to stop your sports activities. As our own
experience shows, it is very often possible to modify and adapt your
exercise in such manner that in fact promotes faster recovery. First,
check with your doctor and then contact us so we can assess whether our
group instruction is suited to your current situation, or if personal
training might be a better fit.
