Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly asked questions about what it's like to train with FitHappens Personal Training

What is FitHappens?

FitHappens offers science-based, data-drive fitness and nutrition coaching. What that means is we look not only at your goals, but also how your body naturally moves to allow us to design a program unique to you and your needs.

We also pair that with behavioral psychology to guide you through habit change.

Throughout this process you will have a 1-on-1 video session with your coach to discuss your workouts, nutrition and obstacles along the way. This allows us to ensure your program grows and progresses with you and gives you the support you need to make a lasting change.

Why should I choose virtual coaching over in-person training?

Where most people fall short reaching their goals is at home not in the gym. In-person training is limited to brief snippets of coaching between exercises.

Virtual coaching allows for calls dedicated entirely to just focusing on everything else; nutrition, stress, sleep, etc. without distractions or delaying your workouts.
This allows us to dig deeper into what has prevented your from reaching your goals.

Online coaching with independent workouts forces you to be more self-sufficient in prioritizing your health. The difference between people who start and stop workout routines, and people that are fit for the rest of their lives is the internal motivation to get up and do it on your own.

With our structure, you still have us in your pocket to give you the support and push while you work toward building the autonomy that will change your life

If I'm working out on my own, how do you check my form?

We perform a movement screen on all of our clients before writing their program, to minimize form issues. On the occasion that they do arise, we review those form concerns during your calls or via mid-week form checks.

Most issues with form are not due to lack of experience, but are actually the result of a mismatched program. This happens when you don't have the necessary range of motion to safely do an exercise in your routine. Our screen prevents this.

Can you accommodate special diets and dietary needs

Yes! Whether you’re gluten-free, keto, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian Whole30, or allergic to specific foods, we will customize your plan to fit your lifestyle.
