Is the Fitness Assessment covered by insurance?

We operate outside of traditional insurance, which means your care and physical progression are never dictated by a third-party payer. You get direct, uncompromised access to our premium services without arbitrary session limits. Additionally, we have partnered with Cherry and CareCredit to offer 0% interest and low-interest “buy now, pay later” options so you can focus on your wellness now and pay over time.

Do I need a Fitness Assessment before starting personal training?

Yes. Every personal training journey at MARC begins with a Fitness Assessment. This vital first step allows your trainer to evaluate your movement patterns, discuss your health history, and identify structural baselines, ensuring your ongoing training program is safe, fully customized, and effective from day one.

What should I wear and expect during my evaluation?

Wear comfortable, flexible athletic attire and supportive athletic shoes. Your 55-minute assessment is an active, one-on-one session where you and your trainer discuss goals, review movement fundamentals, and assess your current baseline in a private setting.

What happens after my assessment is finished?

Your trainer will recommend a path forward. There is no obligation to purchase long-term packages; you can choose to transition into private personal training, incorporate specialized services like BFR Training, or pair your routine with our recovery services.

How often will we reassess my progress?

Your baseline is an active benchmark, not a static score. As you build strength and mobility, your trainer continuously monitors your form and progress during every session. We routinely revisit your initial assessment metrics to highlight your growth, adjust training parameters, and keep you on track toward your long-term goals.
