FAQ
Here you can find answers on our personal training models, what makes our gym different and most questions about our training programs.
Is this a general membership gym?
No. In order to maintain the highest quality standards, we're choosing to provide you with the controlled environment that is needed to offer 1 on 1 and semi private coaching. That way, we are able to exclusively offer personalized training of the highest quality, customized to your needs.
What makes Beyond Fitness different?
We have the best and most qualified trainers around. Our trainers hold themselves to the highest standards of care, using evidence-based and scientifically-proven training techniques, while continually pursuing ongoing education and professional development. Our beautiful facility also offers unique equipment specifically chosen with our end users in mind and is unmatched in Vancouver Island.
Why is a controlled gym environment good for me?
There is no sharing of equipment. This allows us to control both the flow and pace of your workout as well as the cleanliness of the equipment you use. In addition, we have the ability to dictate how many people can be in the gym at any given time which gives each client an interruption-free dedicated space to train in with no judgements or rushed exercise.
Can I come workout at the gym by myself, without a trainer?
No. In order to offer the highest quality standards to all our clients, we're choosing a controlled gym environment with limited numbers of clients at any given time.
What is your cancellation policy?
We respectfully ask that you give us 24 hours’ notice when cancelling or rescheduling an appointment. Those cancelling with less notice will be charged the full session fee. By getting in touch with us ahead of time when scheduling conflicts occur, you're honouring your trainer’s time, which we really appreciate.

What is Functional Training and Its Benefits?
Functional training at Beyond Fitness involves exercises designed to train muscles for carrying out everyday activities safely and efficiently. This type of training, which targets multiple muscle groups, aims to improve overall body mechanics, enhancing core stability, strength, and endurance. The exercises mimic common movements you might do at home, work, or in sports, resulting in benefits such as better posture, reduced injury risk, and increased ease of daily living.
What Does Mobility Training Involve?
Mobility training focuses on improving the range of motion in your joints and muscles. It involves stretching and strengthening exercises that enhance overall movement efficiency. This type of training is crucial for everyone, particularly those who wish to improve their athletic performance or maintain their physical health as they age. Mobility training helps in preventing injuries and can also aid in recovery if you're dealing with stiffness or post-injury rehabilitation.
What is included in your Nutrition Coaching services?
Nutrition coaching services are tailored to help individuals understand and implement healthy eating practices that align with their fitness and health goals. These services typically include personalized meal planning, nutritional education, and strategies to overcome personal eating challenges. Coaches work closely with clients to ensure that the dietary plans not only support their physical health but are also practical and sustainable.
How Can a Personal Fitness Trainer Help Me Achieve My Fitness Goals?
A personal fitness trainer at Beyond Fitness provides one-on-one guidance designed to help individuals achieve their specific fitness goals. The trainers assess physical conditions and develop customized plans tailored to needs such as weight loss, muscle building, or improving athletic performance. They provide the motivation, accountability, and expertise necessary to ensure exercises are performed correctly, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing the risk of injury.
What’s the difference between personal training and small group personal training?
Personal training involves one-on-one sessions where the trainer focuses entirely on one individual's needs, providing personalized guidance and support. In contrast, small group personal training includes sessions with a small number of participants, typically 2-5 people. This setting allows for personalized attention but with the added motivation and support from a group environment. Group training is often more cost-effective, yet still offers tailored workouts that address the fitness goals of each participant. Both formats hold significant benefits depending on one’s preferences for interaction and individual attention.
Do you offer Strength Training programs?
Yes, Beyond Fitness offers strength training programs that are tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. Whether you're looking to build muscle, increase strength, or enhance endurance, their programs provide the guidance and resources necessary to achieve your fitness objectives.
What is Small Group Personal Training for Beginners?
Small Group Personal Training for Beginners at Beyond Fitness focuses on providing beginners with a comprehensive introduction to fitness in a supportive and small-group setting. This program emphasizes proper form, technique, and foundational exercises, ensuring a safe and effective start to your fitness journey.
How can I benefit from Preventative Health Services?
Preventative Health Services at Beyond Fitness help members maintain and enhance their health proactively. These services aim to prevent diseases, improve quality of life, and optimize health through tailored fitness assessments, personalized training plans, and guidance on healthy lifestyle choices.
What can I expect from your Personalized Nutrition Plans?
Personalized Nutrition Plans at Beyond Fitness are designed to cater to your unique dietary needs and fitness goals. Expect a detailed plan that includes nutritional guidance, meal suggestions, and support from nutrition experts to help you achieve your health and fitness objectives effectively.
