We'll answer all your burning questions!
I’ve never worked with a personal trainer before—what should I expect?
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by name and guided every step of the way. Your first visit is a relaxed, 30-minute Starting Point Session where we learn about your goals, medical history, and lifestyle so we know exactly where to start. Every session after that is coach-led and fully customized: we demonstrate each exercise, adjust form in real time, and track your progress so you can focus on feeling better—not figuring out what to do next.
I’m new to fitness— is this the right program for me?
Absolutely. More than 70 percent of our members walked in as beginners over 40. We specialize in teaching the fundamental movement patterns so you build strength safely and efficiently. We progress you at your pace, celebrate every win (no matter how small), and pair training with nutrition and accountability coaching so you’re never left guessing.
Is personal training expensive?
Think of personal training as an investment in the next decade of your health, not a weekly bill. Because our sessions are small groups (a maximum of six clients per coach), you receive individualized coaching at a fraction of traditional one-on-one rates. Most members spend less than the cost of a daily latte—and many report saving on things like healthcare visits, medications, and fad-diet programs they no longer need.
What makes Next Generation Training Center different?
Age-specific expertise: Our coaches are certified in working with adults 40+ who may have past injuries, busy schedules, or simply haven’t exercised in years.
Community, not crowds: You’ll train alongside like-minded adults who cheer each other on;, no intimidation, no overcrowded classes.
Results you can feel: We measure strength, mobility, and body-composition changes so you see (and feel) tangible progress—not just random sweat sessions.
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. We earn your business every month. Our flexible membership runs month-to-month with a simple 30-day notice to cancel or pause. Life happens—vacations and grandkids arrive—so your training should adapt with you, not trap you.
I can only work out two times per week—is that enough?
Yes. Two focused, full-body sessions per week—paired with the daily movement and nutrition habits we coach you on—are plenty to improve strength, boost energy, and reduce aches and pains. Many members start with two days, build consistency, and add a third when life allows. Quality beats quantity, and consistency beats intensity every time.
I have chronic joint pain—can I still work out?
Yes, and the right kind of movement often becomes part of the solution rather than another source of pain. Here’s how we manage it:
Collaborative Start-Up – We begin with a Starting Point Session that includes a discussion of your joint history, current symptoms, and any guidance from your doctor or physical therapist. A gentle movement screen lets us see what feels good (and what doesn’t) before you ever touch a weight.
Joint-Friendly Programming – Expect low-impact, controlled-tempo exercises that reduce stress on sensitive joints, and plenty of mobility drills to keep joints lubricated and moving smoothly.
Strengthen the Support System – We focus on building the muscles that stabilize each joint. Stronger support muscles mean less wear and tear on the joint itself and better day-to-day comfort.
Real-Time Modifications – Our coaches adjust movements on the spot if something doesn’t feel right. With small group sessions you’ll never be stuck pushing through pain or sitting out.
Progress at Your Pace – We track pain levels alongside strength gains and only add load or range of motion when your body says “ready.”
Many members with osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or long-standing joint aches report better mobility, reduced stiffness, and greater confidence within the first 6–8 weeks. If you can walk into the gym, we can create a plan that helps you walk back out feeling better than when you arrived.
