Find Out Why We Are So Much More Than Just a Gym for Women

That’s right! Momentum does not and has never proclaimed itself as a “gym”... maybe a workout center, a fitness club but definitely not a sweaty, stinky gym.

 

Why are we so adamant about NOT being called a “gym”? From the first day of opening the doors in April of 2001, Momentum set forth to be different than what most people who had worked out at a “typical” gym would expect, so thus there would be no comparison. As we are often asked, no, we are not a franchise or a “cookie-cutter” version of some other location; we are the only Momentum Female Fitness Center on the planet with our own standards and vision. How are we exactly different? One of the very first goals that we established was to be the cleanest facility in the entire area if not the entire country. We take pride in offering to our members a clean environment each and every day including showers and floors that are scrubbed daily. Hand sanitizer and equipment wipes are found throughout the club to deter the spread of germs as best as possible. From the dumbbells to the exercise mats and balls, it is all cleaned on a regular basis.

 

Our second goal was to make every member and potential member feel welcome upon entering the club and making use of the facility. The Momentum team is selected first and foremost for their genuine love and caring for people, and we feel that shines through everyday. Members should never feel intimidated or overwhelmed at any point while being a member. With our introduction to the club like no other , members can learn about the various areas of the club for working out— whether in a class or independently — at a pace they feel comfortable. There is no rush and no pressure to limit the number of appointments it will take to get someone to feeling confident in a workout routine. And for those members who feel they are losing their motivation, are ready to change up their routine or simply have questions, we offer Well Check-Ups with the Fitness Coach of the member’s choice that can be scheduled every 4—6 weeks for as long as the member remains a member.

 

We strive to enrich our members lives in body, mind & spirit, thus with the personal attention you'll receive from your Fitness Coach, they will make class recommendations... why? We know that those who choose to workout in a group setting are 50 times more likely to stick with their exercise program, and thus, it is why Momentum’s third key differentiator is its focus on group exercise classes and group programs. We have set out to create classes that fit every woman’s age, ability and fitness level. We offer beginner, intermediate and advanced classes; half-hour, 45-minute and one-hour options. Our instructor team is committed to getting to know those women who participate in the classes, so the experience will be positive, and thus will motivate the member to return and get better with continuous participation… in body, mind & spirit. We often hear new members comment on how they are “too uncoordinated” or “had a bad experience in the past” or even “are way too intimidated and feel they need to be in better condition to even think about a class”. After years of truly trying to see a new member’s perspective, we offer BODYBASICS—truly the educational class that will get new members to learn the basic moves, safety options and choices they have to feel prepared when entering a class. BodyBasics has been recognized by the industry experts as a noteworthy differentiating factor of Momentum.

 

Lastly, "mom" is definitely an integral part of MOMentum, and thus, we know how important quality, loving care for your child is for you. It is never to early to help initiate a healthy, active lifestyle, so not only do we encourage moms to set an example for their children by taking the time for themselves to be active and care of themselves physically, mentally and emotionally, but we will do our part to keep your children active as well with classes for children beginning as early as age 2! With three separate areas for your child to learn, grow, play and release their energy, your child will be happy to join your regular weekly routine as our most important club within the club is, of course, "Mini Mo"-- Momentum's childcare that begins for children as early as 6 weeks of age up to 12 years. Your child will only cry because they want to stay and play, and not vice versa!

 

In summary, with our commitment to maintaining the cleanest environment that makes you feel welcome and offers you variety in your workout-- whether choosing to workout independently or in a group setting with ongoing motivation and direction from a qualified Fitness Coach and loving care, if needed, for your little ones, we will provide you with a repeated postive experience that you so deserve at every visit. We encourage all our members to interact with one another, learn from one another and gain strength in the unique environment that has grown because of who our members are. We invite new members to introduce yourself to the staff as well as other women around you. We encourage our existing members to welcome new faces that may have feelings of uncertainty and reluctance that once were your initial emotions as we were all “new” to something at one time. Momentum is truly unique because it is the members that make it a community, a club… but definitely NOT just a “gym”!
