FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive at The Gym w Fitbyalex. Text us at 470-785-3161 if you have any questions. I respond quickly. No Ai or bots blowing your phone up lol.
When should I expect to see results?
Many women will notice a 2-5lb drop in the scale the first week. Within the first few weeks our clients feel improvements in strength, energy, and confidence. Our clients lose between 8–18lbs and 2-5 inches around their belly in their first 10 weeks. And most continue and lose 30-50lbs in their first 6-12 months.
Your results depend on your starting point, consistency, nutrition, and individual needs. We'll track your progress and adjust your plan along the way.
Do you provide guidance on nutrition & lifestyle changes?
Yes! We provide guidance on eating right, sleeping well, and implementing the right habits which can help maximize energy levels – getting YOU maximum results from your efforts.
Do I need to already be fit to join?
Not at all! Most of our members have not been exercising. We assess each new member’s fitness level with a 1-on-1 session. Then sessions are personalized to your goals and body’s needs. We also address any past injuries and current aches and pains and tailor your warm-ups and stretches to your body’s need to prevent injury and to move better. As you level up you can take on more challenging variants of the workout if you desire.
What makes our programs different from the other gyms near me?
We are a local women's only health and fitness training studio. We specialize helping women going through peri & post menopause (usually after 40) because what used to work in your 20s & 30s may not be what’s best in this stage in life. You’re not just a number here, everyone knows your name. We’re a community of like-minded women that wants you to show up and supports each other on this journey to live better lives with no judgement or criticism along the way.
How many days per week should I attend?
If you’re a beginner and just starting out then 1-2 times per week will be enough to see results and allow you to adjust. You’ll be sore some days, so allow yourself recovery days between training sessions at first – over the course of the following months work up towards 2-3 days per week if you want to maximize! At this stage in life we want to work smarter not harder.
What should I expect in a session?
Each session is 35-45 minutes and led by expert coaches. Everyone has personalized warm-ups designed to their body’s needs, previous injuries, and current aches and pains. After your warm-up the coach will walk you through the workout, the movements, and the proper form. If anything feels uncomfortable or causes pain, we modify the exercise for you. During the workout, the coach will be guiding and providing instruction. At the end of each session, you will cool down and stretch with your personalized stretches to accelerate recovery and reduce potential injury. We offer an exciting, challenging and varied strength workouts which will keep it fun but also help you build strength, improve mobility, and speed up metabolism!
What is expected of me to see results?
Simple.
- Check off your personalized daily action steps (2 min per day)
- Show up to your scheduled sessions 1-2x per week. (60-90 min per week)
- Planning your meals for the week (15 min per week)
- Submit your weekly check-in form (5 min per week)
That's a total of 3 hours out of 168 hours a week that we need from you. We avoid perfection and only focus on progression.
How much is the investment?
Because every program is personalized, the investment varies based on your goals, schedule, challenges, and preferences. Clients begin with a 6-16 week foundational program, then transition into an affordable monthly membership to maintain or continue with results (NO CONTRACTS. MOST OUR CLIENTS CHOOSE TO STAY FOR 18 MONTHS+). Everything is included in our programs: personalized training, nutrition guidance, accountability, and coaching.
That’s exactly what we will discuss when you come in. It will not be a pushy sales appointment, but a conversation to understand where you are, what you’ve tried, what’s been frustrating, and what you actually need. From there, we’ll map out a plan and walk you through the options that best fit your goals and lifestyle so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
