No, we are highly skilled and capable of meeting all of your fitness needs and goals.

Athelite Training Center is not Crossfit. We have independently created our own programming and methodology, and have a planned system in which everything has a purpose. While we promote high intensity workouts, we do not support “reps for time” for Olympic lifts, which leads to degradation of form and unnecessary injury. Olympic lifts are complex and should be used to develop rapid force production. Athelite Training Center workouts are periodized– not randomized. Each of our clients tracks every workout, and tests/retests every 8 weeks. Additionally, each of our coaches hold four-year degrees in exercise science, and must perform a 3-4 month hands-on internship before ever being considered for employment.

While boot camps offer conditioning with little strength training, our program offers a comprehensive strength system along with intense conditioning. ATC has a facility full of weights and equipment you simply don’t get at a boot camp. The smaller group sizes also allow our coaches to provide quality instruction.

HIIT is a great way to condition and maintain your lean muscle gains and strength while burning fat. While cardio activity is necessary for heart health, circulation, and mobility, pure cardio activities can actually prevent muscle building and we do not what that to happen. Lean muscle helps drive our metabolism. We want to be heart healthy but also maintain muscle. Our HITT training is cardio that enhances muscle building and cardiac output so you burn calories AND build muscle.

HIIT alternates between short bursts of high intensity exercise followed by a brief period of rest. This is one of the best ways to turn on “afterburn,” where your body’s increased metabolic rate burns fat for a period of time AFTER your workout. Interval training can turn on this afterburn for a good 4 hours post-workout, meaning you’re still burning calories and breaking down fat.

HIIT workouts tend to be shorter in duration, with outputs of high intensity exercise, yet studies are finding that despite the shorter duration of these workouts, they tend to be superior when it comes to fat loss, with an increase in fat burning muscle fibers. An Australian study found that HIIT training, when compared to a typical 40-minute cardio program at 60% maximal heart rate, showed a 6x greater increase in fat loss. The American College of Sports Medicine found that HIIT workouts showed a 10% increase in calories burned in the 24-hour post-workout period. Workouts showed a 10% increase in calories burned in the 24-hour post-workout period.

Absolutely! We always offer a free trial session to any of our sessions.

To ensure that we always have an appropriate coach-to-client ratio, we require everyone to schedule ahead of time using the MindBody online software.

No, adults are welcome to attend any of the adult group offerings we have. Likewise, youth athletes (12-18 years old) are welcome to attend any of our Athelite Development classes.

Our session packages expire in 3 months therefore it gives those who cannot commit to a regular schedule the chance to buy sessions in bulk and use them over a 3 month period. This also may be a good choice for those who are supplementing our training with their own.

The unlimited holds the best value for our clients, especially if you plan to train more than once or twice a week. We usually advise anyone committing to their fitness/health to exercise at least 3 times per week. The unlimited clients ALSO benefit from FREE monthly fitness testing through exercise tests and our body composition testing through the BOD POD. We do all the tracking and recording of your progress for you, including strength and lean muscle gains, and fat loss. Fitness commitment is rewarding, and we want to express that!

You can start just as you are, at your current fitness level, and let us worry about getting you in shape.

Most clients start to notice changes in how they look and/or feel after a couple of weeks or less.

Results are impossible for any trainer or gym to promise unless they are with you every minute of the day. Nutrition and genetics play a large role in results. We can, however, promise you the highest quality training experience every time.

No, we do not offer memberships like regular gyms. Just purchase your desired number of sessions.

No, everything we offer is either Personal Training or Small Group Training.

You are paying for quality coaching in a small coach-to-client ratio. We do all of the programming and provide only the best equipment. The program includes small ratios for the best instruction as well as documentation, accountability, and testing services.
