FAQ

(answers provided further below)

______________________________________________

1. Can I really work out just once per week?

Yes. Our clients typically gain more strength training once per week then they ever have 3 or 5 days a week on other programs. And if they combine this with eating sensibly (which we can help with), they often get leaner and more defined than at any other time in their lives.

Once a week gets good results, and most people can DO it.

What is optimal? Twice a week is optimal for most people. Any more often than twice per week at this level of intensity becomes counterproductive. Strength gains happen during the rest days between workouts. Our goal is to maximize how much your body improves AFTER each workout. The more your body is working to improve, the more time you want between workouts. (For a few exceptionally strong people, twice a week can be too much, and once every 5 days may be optimal.)

2. How quickly will I see results?

You will get results from your very first workout. Your body will begin increasing strength immediately, as it recovers from your first workout.

How quickly you see appearance changes depends on your diet, which we can help you with. Most of our clients comment that even though they are working out less often, their body changes faster than it ever has before.

3. Will I be incredibly sore after the workouts, since they are so intense?

No.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is common 24 to 48 hours after you do any new challenging physical activity. We gently ease most new clients into full intensity over their first few workouts, and most people don’t get very sore at all.

If you do get DOMS, that typically happens just once. After that, as long as you keep working out regularly, you won’t get sore like that again, even if you’re working your muscles to their limit.

We also have a trick that will instantly alleviate soreness from DOMS, and we’ll tell you about that at your first workout, just in case.

4. How much other activity and cardio do I need to do in addition to this?

None.

Conventional wisdom says that you need cardio to burn calories and for your cardiovascular health.

While cardio can benefit you in these areas, we like to use more effective ways to accomplish the same things.

For example, eating right results in more weight loss than burning calories through activity for most people. Also, there is growing evidence that cardiovascular health is more improved through strengthening muscles and ocassional intense exertion than by the daily moderate activity that people traditionally associate with “cardio.”

We’ve seen many clients start burning more fat and getting stronger after they cut back on other activities they were doing–to give their bodies the quality rest they needed to grow stronger and leaner.

5. Can I still do other activities that I enjoy (yoga, pilates, swimming, tennis, hiking, etc.)?

Yes. Not only can you do these things, but if you’re like most of our clients, you’ll quickly notice that as your strength increases from our biomechanically-correct targeting and strengthening of your muscles, your ability and performance will improve at all of these things, and you’ll enjoy them even more.

6. Can you work with older people, or is this only for the young and fit?

Not only can we work with older people, but we employ an approach that was purpose-designed for elderly people. During an osteoporosis study in the 1980s, elderly women were found not capable of doing many conventional exercises. New techniques were used to make the exercises safer and easier while maintaining all the elements that produced maximal strength. Then it was discovered that these methods worked better for healthy and fit people as well. So these are among the methods we use today.

Strength and bone density become ever more important issues as you get older, and we believe that it is especially important for you to engage in progressive resistance strengthening exercise as you age.

Our oldest clients have been in their upper 80s, and we often get people who have injuries, disabilities, or conditions that prevent them from working out any other way.

Before we take on any new client, we do an extensive phone consultation to assess their situation and needs, and make sure we will be able to address their needs appropriately. If we find that we are not able to help someone, we often refer them to someone who can.

7. Can you work with someone with injuries or special conditions?

Often times, yes…and very well. Our specialized equipment and training methods have allowed us to help many people who have found nothing else that has worked for them. However, there are some cases that we aren’t equipped to handle. We must assess each specific situation before we can determine that. And if we can’t help, we may be able to refer you to someone who can.

We want to help. To discuss your situation with us, just fill out the interest form here

8. If I’m out of shape or have never worked out before, what should I do to prepare myself for coming to see you?

Do not attempt to “get in shape” before coming to see us. That is our job.

The best thing you can do is start things off on the right foot, and not strain yourself or pick up bad habits doing the wrong things. We will gently guide you to performing exercises that are appropriate for your strength level and condition from the start, and we will increase the intensity only when you’re ready for it.

You’ll benefit greatly by starting with expert instruction when you decide to start exercising. We notice that the most inexperienced and out of shape people often progress faster than seasoned athletes who begin working with us, because people without experience have no bad habits to unlearn.

9. What does it cost?

Our pricing is straightforward, and there are no monthly membership fees or sign-up fees. You only pay for the individual training sessions. Each session is completely private, with just you and your trainer, and no one else working out at the same time.

We have the best equipment and trainers in town, and we pride ourselves on providing a no-compromise experience for those who want the best. We are not cheap. However, since you only need to work out once a week or twice a week, your monthly cost of training with us may be less than half of what you’d pay for even a middle-tier trainer at a busy, noisy nearby gym.

Cost is $90 for any individual session. You also have the option of buying a package of between 8 and 48 sessions, which brings the per session cost down to $75 and $67 ($600 for 8 and $3200 for 48).

The first time you come in is an exception, as we do an involved introductory workout that takes twice as long as a regular session. For pricing and details on that, see the information at www.myogenics.com

10. What are your hours?

We are open 7 days a week. 6am-10pm during the week, and 7am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday.

11. What is the next step if I’m interested?

We have limited capacity and we are selective with who we take on as clients. We want to work with people who are serious about getting great results. If you’d like to discuss with one of us over the phone whether we’re a good fit to work with each other, please fill out the form at www.myogenics.com and tell us a little more about you and your situation. One of us will be in contact with you shortly.

12. How does your guarantee work?

No one can predict your specific rate of progress, as every person’s body is different, and genetic factors play a large role in how quickly you will see results. There are also variables that affect your progress which are out of our control, such as how you eat, how you sleep, how much stress you have. (And we will work to help you address each of these areas, if you wish.)

We are confident that we are using the most effective methods known to get you results. Our owner Chad guarantees that once you experience the introductory workout, you’ll agree. Here’s his guarantee:

If, after your introductory session, you feel that it wasn’t worth more than what you paid for any reason, just email Chad privately in the following week, and he’ll personally refund all your money, no questions asked. (offer not good with use of any certificates or special offers)
