TO GET STARTED

Initial Consultation and Fitness Assessment

On the first day, you will have a consultation that will explain what we do and how it can benefit you specifically. In that initial consultation we take your Bio Signature (a 14 site body fat test), which will give us a glimpse into your hormonal profile and where to start nutritionally.

After that, we go through your upper and lower body assessment along with length tension testing. This assessment is very thorough, and helps us know your physical strengths and weaknesses.

Working With Our Coaches

After the assessment, you will be paired with a trainer that will help you progress to accomplishing your goals. They will be with you each session, on every set, and every rep ensuring that the exercise is being performed correctly and that you are progressing. Every 2-6 weeks, depending on the client and goals you will get new programs that your trainer will write, based on how fast you have progressed in the previous set of workouts. Each phase of training builds on each other to help you continuously get better results.

Sports Nutritionist Services For Faster Progress

Our sports nutritionist works with our trainers to design specific workouts and modifications to meet the individual needs of our clients. At MECA, we have found that pairing our elite training services with the professional guidance of a sports nutritionist helps our clients reach their fitness and performance goals faster.

What should I expect during my first personal training session?

During your first session, we’ll conduct a full fitness assessment to understand your starting point and establish your goals. We’ll then develop a personalized workout plan based on your needs and fitness level. You’ll also get to know your trainer and discuss how we can best support you on your fitness journey.

How often should I train per week?

This depends on your individual goals and fitness level. Many of our clients find success with 2-3 personal training sessions per week, but we’ll work with you to determine what’s best for your schedule and objectives.
