Question 3

Is this just for the ladies?

Accepted Answer

No. Though most of our members are women, our sessions are co-ed. Men are welcome!

Question 4

What do I wear?

Accepted Answer

Athletic or comfortable clothing that allows complete freedom of  movement and allows you to stay cool. Women will want a good support or  athletic bra. If your feet are healthy and it is comfortable for  you we encourage you to try barefoot training for general Small Group  Training. For footwear, if you choose, invest in a good pair of great-fitting  athletic shoes.

Question 5

Do I need to bring anything else?

Accepted Answer

Have  a water bottle handy to sip on during and after your workout to replace  the liquids you’ll lose due to perspiration. We have cups on hand,  should you forget, and a filtered water cooler for refills. Keeping  yourself well hydrated also helps reduce muscle aches.

We provide sweat towels, if you need to wipe your brow during your  workout! We provide shower products, towels, hair products/tools and  some toiletries, should you wish to shower and freshen up before you  leave.

Question 6

Do I have to be “in shape” before I start training?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely  not!

Our programs are designed for your current fitness level. We will  meet you where you’re at! For safety reasons, all members start off with Introduction sessions to learn the foundations of movement before jumping into any of our Small Group Training sessions!

Keep in mind you may still be sore from doing  movements your body is unaccustomed to making.
If you are an experienced exerciser that has been training  consistently for the past six months, please talk to us before booking  your first session.

Question 7

What if exercise hurts my knees, shoulders, or _______?

Accepted Answer

While a bit of muscular discomfort or soreness is normal and okay to  work through, we always, ALWAYS want to know if you are feeling it in  your joints. Our workout sessions allow for a large degree of  customization based on your particular needs, conditions and abilities.

Question 8

I’m not feeling 100%. Can I still work out?

Accepted Answer

You  should perform workouts only when you are well-fueled, hydrated and  well-rested. If you are a bit sore from previous exertion, a workout  will probably help “loosen” tight muscles. You need to be aware and  always alerting us to any possible health concerns, signs or symptoms.

If you experience any of the following signs or symptoms during your workout, then STOP and seek medical attention:
Dizziness
Nausea
Unusual shortness of breath
Chest pain or tightness
Pain in neck or jaw or radiating down the left arm
Light-headedness

If you’re feeling under the weather but still want to stay active, we recommend choosing one of our On-Demand pre-recorded workouts or joining a Zoom Small Group Training Session. These options allow you to move at your own pace from the comfort of home while prioritizing your recovery. Your health always comes first, and we’re here to support you with flexible alternatives!

Question 9

What do I eat before my session?

Accepted Answer

Whatever time of day you choose to train, it’s wise to know your body.  We suggest most people eat a pre-workout snack or meal 1-2 hours  beforehand. Some people do fine on an empty stomach, so be sure to know  what works best for you. We DON’T want you to have a blood sugar crash  because you skipped breakfast or lunch.

Question 10

What do I eat after my session?

Accepted Answer

After you train, your body will need to replenish and restore itself so  be sure to eat a healthy snack, ideally with some protein, within one  hour of completing your workout.

Question 11

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Book your free consultation here: https://www.proactivefit.ca/consultationrequest

We start with a free consultation with one of our trainers to discuss what you are looking for in a gym, and a movement assessment to see how you move. We want to make sure we are a good fit so you can meet your goals!

Before starting any of our Small Group Training sessions we ask you to attend 2 introduction sessions. These sessions cover the fundamentals to improve your quality of movement to make the most of your sessions. These come as part of our introduction pack for $149+tax, which comes with the 2 introduction sessions, and 7 general sessions to give Small Group Training a try.
