I have never been to a gym before and feel out of shape. Will working out be too overwhelming for me?
Absolutely not. We are very proud of our ability to design programs for all levels of fitness. Part of our expertise is in helping newcomers feel comfortable and supported. Our members range in age from 20's to 80's.
When I join will someone be available to help me get started?
Yes. You schedule an orientation and a personal trainer will take you step by step through an effective exercise program based on our assessment and your goals. Your trainer will guide you through the use of our cardio and weight machines, free weights and effective stretches. He or she will recommend classes and answer any questions.
What should I wear to workout?
We suggest comfortable, loose fitting clothing and good cross training sneakers with arch support. We ask that you carry in your clean sneakers. We emphasize cleanliness at BIB.
How often should I exercise and are classes included with my membership?
Cardio and stretching can be done 7 days a week; weight training should be done on alternate days (a recommendation will be made during your orientation). Classes are included with membership. Our instructors welcome newcomers and are qualified and prepared to help modify a class as needed.
Do you have shower facilities?
We have day use lockers, showers and changing areas available in both the Men's and Women's locker rooms.
