If you are a guest at Rep Room, you might as well get used to being part of the family!  If you come in and try functional fitness, you’re one of us. If you functional fitness elsewhere but drop-in, you’re one of us. That’s just how it is as Rep Room. We thrive on energy and always love newcomers, so don’t be shy!

Children are always welcome at Rep Room. We have an area for children to play, watch movies, play XBOX Kinect, or sit and read. We also have a discount program with AKP (Adventure Kids Playcare) on the adjacent corner of our city block. Many parents use their services during their hour-long workout.

Depending on the injury and your doctor’s recommendation it is almost always possible to exercise while injured. Our coaches are experts at modifying workouts and catering them to someone’s personal needs. At Amped there is a large amount of space and equipment providing an opportunity for all individuals, regardless of injury or drawback, to perform the workout of the day.

Depending on your abilities you can “test out” with a coach to determine one’s cognition and application of the movements we do in classes.

If you’ve never done Functional Fitness, you can expect a format of training that you probably have never done before. Some days are longer, some are shorter. Some are heavy, and some are light. It’s always different. Constants at Rep Room are an encouraging environment, supportive family, and challenging workout! Those who have never done functional fitness are usually required to take our beginner class to help them learn how to do the movements that we use weekly. An individual may “test out” if they have a strong weight lifting background but must be approved by one of our coaches first.

“Big” is obviously relative, but massive growth in muscle requires more work than just starting a new exercise routine. Your body will certainly change, but nothing drastic. All physical changes take time with the human body and its easy to pick up on it and alter anything that is proving to be unfavorable. Coaches at Amped can help you with any goals you have towards body composition.

The recommended weight is anything that you can control with good form and feel comfortable using. The prescription for the day is simply a challenge set by the coach but is by no means a requirement.

Always bring a comfortable pair of sneakers (the flatter the better), a water bottle, and a towel if you’d like. Comfortable clothing that you can move around freely in is advised. Other than that, a good attitude and willingness to try something new and challenging.

If you’re new to functional fitness it’s a good idea to start off small and grow as your body gets used to the workload. It also depends on your fitness level, but its always better not to bite off more than you can chew!

WOD stands for “Workout of the Day.” Each day the workout will be completely different than the day before. Before you start the WOD, your coach will go over all of the movements and discuss the way the workout will work- For Time, AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible), etc.
