3-Step Intake: Consult

Why consult?

The consult is the first and most vital step in our 3-Step Intake . This is where we deep dive into your goals and your “Why” to begin your fitness journey.

When many gyms tend to ask the superficial questions surrounding your goals, we help you build a connection with them. We believe that if you are doing work that you believe is important and necessary, then you will always have passion for your work. Over time we’ve learned that developing this connection to your “Why” will always lead to results.

To start, we’ll give you an opportunity to learn a little bit about us. We’ll then spend a majority of the time having an in-depth and focused conversation to learn more about you:

Your lifestyle, routine, sleep habits, nutrition, what’s important to you, where you’re starting in fitness and where you’d like to be.

From there, we’ll review our findings and use this information to determine the most optimal strategy for success. This may look like:

  • On-Ramp (followed by group classes)
  • Personal Training
  • Program Design or
  • Hybrid Group Training

No matter the path, our overarching goal is to challenge and support you toward a higher fitness IQ. The learning begins with understanding your “Why”. This foundation of learning will guide you in establishing the habits that will allow you to live an active life into your latter years and, of course, experience the results you sought.

Come sit down (in-person or virtually) for an in-depth consult and see if we’re a good fit.

Amanda and her family will be walking on the SSH NICU/SCN team in the March for Babies walk on May 9th, and we would love to support her by donating to the cause and helping other families in need.

Why Can't I Always Lift My Max?

By Derek Saffold • February 19, 2026
Strength expression is our ability to show or utilize the strength we have. We call it expression because in the world of lifting, CrossFit, functional fitness, or training, our ability to show that strength varies. Even though our potential strength is the same, we are not always able to fully express it the way we want. Whether that is hitting a max back squat, doing heavy thrusters in a CrossFit style workout, or hitting that heavy clean complex when olympic lifting, we will not always be able to hit our maxes, this is because of factors outside of just our strength itself.
