A breakdown of your 1st workout at ethos
You’ve taken the step, booked the first appointment with an Ethos coach and you are ready to go…so what should you expect for your first workout with us?
Your first 1:1 session at Ethos is a chance for you to experience an Ethos workout and for the coach to learn more about you. We use this session to see how you move, learn about your training history and get to know you. The workout itself is about 50 minutes to leave time at the end to make a plan going forward and to answer any questions you have. It should be a no stress session, and we understand it can be a bit intimidating. So here is a break down of the session.
First, we are going to have you go through some joint prep- get your stretching a bit. We want to see how your spine moves as well as your shoulders and hips.
Next, you’re going to warm up. This is going to be some abs and a lower body exercise.
Now that you are warm, we are going to get lifting. Expect 2-4 lifts, including lower and upper body. Don’t worry, we always start light. It is best to be too light than too heavy so we are going to start with a light weight and ask you some questions and watch your form to help us determine if you should increase. We’ll repeat this circuit of exercises 2-3 times and then move on.
Next section is more lifting in what we would call your accessory block. It will be different exercises that hit different body parts. You’ll go through this 2-3 times as well.
Finally we are at your last block. Depending on what your goals are, we will either have you do some cardio (breathing heavy) or a set of upper body exercises or lower body exercises(we call this a pump). If you’re not sure what your goal is, we will help decide based on all that we have learned about you.
Now you are done working out, lets chat. We are going to recap the session, discuss your goals and the best program for you to move ahead with. We are going to suggest the best program for you and your goals; this is a promise. We genuinely want the best for you so we are going to suggest that for you. Once we work out what is best, we’ll get you all set up for your next workout and send you on your way!
The next day you’ll hear from us. We want to hear how you are feeling and see if you have any additional questions for us. You may be a bit sore the next day or the day after, as is everyone after a new workout so don’t stress if you are.
Now that you know what to expect, are you ready to book your 1st workout?
