FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you offer a trial?
Yes! We offer a 2-week trial HERE. You'll meet our team and experience our Small Group Training workouts during this time. This is a great way to see if bStrong is the right fit for you.
Do you offer personal training and small group training?
Yes! We offer both:
1-on-1 Personal Training – Fully customized workouts with direct coaching.
Small Group Training – A high-quality coaching experience in a motivating group setting.
What’s the difference between Small Group Training and 1-on-1 Training?
Personal Training (1-on-1 or 2-on-1):
Workouts are fully customized to your goals.
Ideal if you have significant limitations or past injuries, or prefer a private setting.
You’ll receive hands-on coaching and real-time adjustments throughout your session.
Small Group Personal Training (3-6 people):
Our most popular option—providing expert coaching at a more affordable price.
Many of the same benefits as 1-on-1 Training, but you’ll share a coach with a few other members.
Full-body strength program focused on strength, posture, balance, and core.
Workouts are customized to your ability level, with progress tracking.
Each person has their own equipment and target weights—you train at your own pace.
Adjustments are made based on experience, fitness level, and injuries.
How are your workouts different than group HIIT Classes?
No, our small group workouts are personal training sessions in a small group format.
You won’t be sharing equipment.
Your weights, goals, and progress will be tracked, and you’ll know exactly how much weight and reps to do.
You’ll get individualized attention and feedback on your technique from our certified personal trainers.
Who are your coaches?
We have some of the best in the industry!
All coaches are certified by nationally recognized organizations.
Many hold degrees in fitness-related fields.
Each coach undergoes extensive training to ensure top-tier coaching.

What if I have a previous injury?
We modify workouts to accommodate all types of injuries and limitations.
For example:
✔️ Knee injuries? We’ll swap out running/jumping for joint-friendly alternatives.
✔️ Back, shoulder, hip, foot, or wrist pain? We’ve seen it all and can adjust accordingly.
If you have very limited ability or major movement restrictions, Personal Training may be a great option.
What if I have very specific goals?
It depends on your goals:
If you have highly specific training needs, Personal Training is the way to go.
If you want to get stronger and improve endurance, core strength, balance, body composition, and overall fitness, Small Group Training is likely a great fit—at a more affordable price.

Are your workouts like CrossFit?
Our training has some similarities, but we are not affiliated with CrossFit.
We focus on strength training & HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training).
We teach powerlifts (deadlifts, squats, bench press) but do NOT focus on Olympic lifts.
If you like CrossFit-style training, you’ll likely enjoy our workouts.
You’ll focus on beating your own past performance, not competing against others.
Do you sell food?
We partner with Fuller Nutrifuel, a meal prep service that delivers delicious, ready-to-eat meals directly to our gym.
