Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do I bring to class?
A: A bottle of water
    A set of dumbbell weights
    An exercise/yoga mat or towel


Q: How heavy should my dumbbell weights be?
A: Minimum 5 lb.  As you get stronger, you may want to consider bringing 8-10 lb weights.


Q: What should I wear?
A: Wear breathable clothing, preferably made of materials designed for moisture wicking.  Feel free to wear layers if it is chilly, and you'll be able to shed them as your body heats up during the workout.  Some people also like to wear gloves for ground work (such as pushups).


Q: What about my current fitness level?
A: All fitness levels are welcome!  We'll always have modifications available to tailor exercises to your current fitness level.


Q: What if I'm late?
A: Please don't let tardiness keep you from coming to class!  A short workout is better than no workout.


Q: What about the weather? (outdoor classes)
A: We'll meet rain, shine, or snow!  In the case of falling precipitation, we'll typically work out under a covered pavilion.  


Q: Who can participate in a bootcamp?
A: Essentials Bootcamps are for ladies of all fitness levels, age 15 and up.


Q: What is the registration deadline?
A: The deadline for registration is 6 pm on the Sunday before the new session begins.


Q: Does Essentials Fitness offer refunds?
A: No, we don't.  In the case that a serious medical condition arises, and the participant is medically unable to continue, special consideration will be given.
