Clients that purchase a package can attend unlimited amount of boot camp workouts during the 4 week period. Each workout is an hour long. The emphasis is on making the workouts fun & pushing you past your fitness thresholds through a comfortable progression. The trainer designs full body & specific strengthening/sculpting workouts for chest, arms, glutes, legs, core, abs & cardio in various combinations. The trainer uses intervals, circuits, obstacle courses, relays and races to format an empowering workout mentally & physically. Fuel succeeds in motivating the clients to love the burn! That is one extremely important element to achieving a lean/cut body & to achieving better conditioning throughout the body.
Fuel Rx builds a highly motivating atmosphere where the client is constantly challenged. The trainers encourages clients into formatting the exercises into a self-competitive sport. They will test themselves against their last time, reps, sets, frequency, tempo, intensity and durations. It not only fuels the clients’ motivation but allows them to see progress or plateaus even before the re-assessments are done. It also shows the client where their muscular endurance, strength, power,cardiovascular conditioning & flexibility weaknesses & strengths are in their body.

Purpose – After the nutritional assessment has been completed. The trainer discusses with the client the break down of his or her current eating lifestyle. The trainer breaks down what the client eats in protein grams/kcals, fat grams/kcals & carbohydrate grams/kcals on a particular day. So it is suggested to the client to get a couple of days of food intake in volume, time of day, frequency and what is the consumption. This will help in assessing more accurately. The trainer converts the grams into K Calories and percentages on a daily total. Then the trainer compares it to the clients' Basal Matabolism Rate and Total Daily Need. In short, after discussing with the client their fitness goals and how much dedication to both establishing a healthier eating lifestyle & increasing exercising will the trainer then be able to recommend the amount of Kcalories he or she should be eating in Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats inorder to reach his or her optimum goal.
Fuel Rx recommends and offers to work one on one with each client to convert that amount of K calories into grams and then into a visual volume. Getting a visual image of exactly how many grams & kcalories are in certain foods will help a lot. This helps, for example, when the client is out eating at a restaurant or cooking at home he or she will know approximately how many K Calories and grams are in that particular food item. The trainer also makes recommendations on healthier food choices which are better in nutritional value than in other foods that the client is consuming currently.
If the client is a diabetic or has a medical condition that requires a very strict diet then a dietician is recommended.
- Proper Rest & Massage Therapy
Purpose - To facilitate healing in the client's body wherever it is needed most. When clients are experiencing sore or tight muscles for example; massage gets rid of lactic acid build up. Proper rest between workouts is vital because without rest your muscles will not recover properly; therefore, making it more difficult to increase muscle fibers, increases higher risk of injury,over-training fatigue & mental burn out.
Massage therapy is an excellent added supplement to proper rest. It not only helps improve your sleep but it also will quickly recover you from over-training, help prevent injuries & balances the mind, body and soul. Following this protocol will have an amazing exponential effect on your fitness/health progress.
We offer different types of massage such as Swedish, deep tissue, sport massage, MFT, Shiatsu, Thai, Passive Stretching and energy therapies. An assessment on your medical history and fitness program will determine the best therapy or combination of therapies for you. There are many more benefits to massage therapy so feel free to speak to Jennifer Chapman or one of our certified massage therapists.
- Communication
Purpose – The trainer emphasizes the importance of good repoire with the client. The client giving feedback along his or her journey helps the trainer enrich the experience and success.
Key time is when the client is feeling any aches/pains,boredom,over-trained or not feeling the muscle or cardio burn. It is also important to communicate any likes or dislikes in the program that could either hinder or enhance motivation and enjoyment of the program.
A significant emphasis is on the trainer’s responsibility to keep the communication on going by asking questions as simple as: how are you feeling today? Are you enjoying the workouts? Is there anything new you would like to add to the program that has not been implemented yet? - Accountability
Purpose – The trainer will be there to motivate as necessary to keep the client on track. Before the client begins the program, he or she decides how much time to his or her program per week will be dedicated to. Things important to know are: The frequency of workouts per week & duration of each of those workouts. It is also suggested for all clients to work out on their own or with a buddy. This heightens the clients' motivation, keeps them consistent and speeds up the progress
Purpose - Your current fitness level and nutritional intake becomes the baseline before you begin the program. The baseline is important in designing a results-driven program based on your specific goals. The initial baseline results are compared to the re-assessment to gauge your progress. Ideally, a re-assessment should be done every 4 to 8 weeks. The re-assessment will target any plateau(s); therefore, the trainer can then re-adjust the program appropriately.
* All assessments are done on a Sunday between 1- 6 p.m. All clients need to allow for 1 1/2 hours completing the assessment.
