3 Easy Steps

Book Your Kickstart Session

This 1-on-1 session is your entry point. You’ll meet with a coach, talk through your goals, and get a feel for the space. It also kicks off your 14-day trial — so once we build your plan, you can hit the ground running.

Get a Personalized Plan That Fits You

After your session, we’ll assign you a training program tailored to your fitness level, goals, and schedule. It’s designed to meet you where you are — and help you build from there.

Start Training the Very Next Day

You’ll have 14 days of unlimited access to our Small Group Personal Training sessions. It’s the best way to experience how we coach, how we train, and how we help people like you make real progress.

COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. How do I get started at RC Training & Fitness?

Just book your Kickstart Membership. You’ll get a 1-on-1 consultation, customized workouts, and 14 days of unlimited training – all for $99.

2. What happens during the Kickstart Session?

We’ll sit down 1-on-1 to talk goals, injury history, and how training works here. You’ll tour the gym, do a short assessment workout, and get your custom program assigned within 24 hours.

3. Do I need to be in shape to start?

Not at all. Many of our members come in after years away from the gym – or starting for the first time. We meet you where you’re at and build from there.

4. What is Small Group Personal Training?

It’s personalized training in a group setting. Your program is built for you – based on your goals, experience, and movement patterns – but you’ll train alongside others on their own custom path.

5. How long are the training sessions?

Sessions are 60 minutes, start to finish. If you’re done in 40 or still grinding at 80, we’ll help you dial in how you’re moving through the session.

6. How many people are in a session?

We cap sessions at 9 people to keep coaching quality high. You’ll always have space, support, and eyes on you when it counts.

7. How often can I train each week?

Members can train up to 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday). You’re never locked into a certain number – we’ll help you find the right rhythm for your goals.

8. Why are you closed on Sundays?

We’re a family-owned gym, and Sundays are for recharging. That said, our motto is “Strength. Endurance. Adventure.” We want to see you go explore, hike, play – use your fitness out in the real world!

9. Do you offer programs for kids or athletes?

Yes! Our Reign program is for ages 10-13, and our Athlete Program is for high school and college athletes. Ask about these during your Kickstart, or check them out on our site.

10. What makes RC Training & Fitness different from other gyms?

We don’t sell access – we coach. Our programs are personalized, our training is structured, and our community is built on real progress, not just breaking a sweat.
