Got questions? We got answers!

  • Our small group training is capped at 8 people or fewer, so you still get focused, personalized coaching—just in a more social, supportive environment. One-on-one training, of course, is entirely private and fully tailored to you.

    Many of our clients tell us the attention to form, coaching, and guidance they get in our small group training is better than what they’ve experienced in one-on-one sessions at other gyms.

  • The truth is, fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are our programs. That’s why we don’t just throw up a price tag online.
    Instead, we start with a quick call to:

    • Learn about your goals, health history, and schedule

    • Make sure Village is actually the right fit for you
      And there’s zero pressure. If it’s not the right fit, we’ll point you in the right direction.

    • Walk you through the best program options
      Book a call here to learn more.

  • Absolutely. Your coach will meet you where you’re at and progress you from there. You don’t need to be in shape to start—you just need to start.

  • That’s exactly what we’re built for. Our physical therapists and coaches work together to help you move better, feel better, and stay strong—safely.

  • We talk about nutrition during sessions when it’s appropriate, but if you really want coaching to make change, we have one-on-one nutrition coaching as a separate service.
    Learn more about our nutrition coaching here.

  • Most clients train 1–3 times a week and get great results.
    Especially with personal training, we can build a plan that includes what you do here and what you can do on your own. It’s efficient, realistic, and built for your life.

  • You’re not alone—many people start with us for exactly that reason.
    What helps? Knowing a coach is expecting you. Having structure, accountability, and someone who’s guiding you every step of the way. That’s what makes the difference.

  • Groups are 8 or less with one expert coach. We frequently hear from our clients that the level of coaching and personalization they get at Village is better than 1-1 training other places.

  • Before your first group session, you’ll complete something called a Foundation Session—and it’s one of the things that makes our program different.
    You’ll meet one-on-one, usually with a doctor of physical therapy, to talk about your health history, injuries, and goals. You’ll go through a full assessment and learn the 12 core movements we train in the program.
    We’ll establish your starting level for each movement so when you do join the group, you’re confident and set up for success.

    To get started, fill out a form and book a first phone call here.

  • The first thing you’ll notice is strength. In the first 6 weeks, much of that strength comes from your brain forming better, faster connections with your muscles—this is called neurological adaptation.
    After 6+ weeks, you’ll start building muscle. That doesn’t mean you’ll get bulky—but it does mean you’ll gain lean, functional tissue that protects your joints, boosts your metabolism, and helps you age with confidence. If you’re over 40, chances are you need more muscle—and this is how you build it.

  • We use the right tools to help you get stronger. That includes resistance bands, TRX straps, kettlebells, dumbbells, and body weight.
    But our primary tool? The barbell. It loads the body in the most efficient, ergonomic way possible—allowing you to safely build full-body strength with less wasted movement.
    That doesn’t mean you’ll be lifting huge weights on day one. It means we’ll teach you the right way, at the right level, so you build real strength that lasts.Item description

  • Most group programs are made for the typical 20-something. Ours is designed specifically for people over 40. We focus on helping you get stronger, stay safe, and move better—without injury.
    Think of it like this: if you needed a heart surgeon, would you go to your general practitioner? Probably not. When it comes to strength after 40, we’re the specialists.

    We don’t strive to “burn as many calories as possible” or “sweat till you drop” but rather to get your results in the form of a stronger, healthier body.

  • You’ll often work with the same coaches, but behind the scenes, our entire team communicates using a shared workout journal we’ve developed in-house. That means every coach knows exactly what you did last time—and how you should progress this time. You’ll never feel like you’re starting from scratch or slipping through the cracks.

  • Three days per week tends to be the sweet spot for results, based on both research and our experience. We offer 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-day memberships to match your schedule and goals.Item description

  • Everyone follows the same movements (like squats, presses, or hinges), but the way it’s done is totally individualized.

    Example: One person might squat with just body weight to a box while holding on for support. Someone else might squat 135 lbs with a barbell. Same movement pattern—completely different workout. Each client gets what they need.

Village Fitness was born in 2016 out of a deep frustration with the dysfunction in today’s health and fitness landscape—and a commitment to change it.

Big Food has flooded our plates with chemicals, processed junk, and harmful industrial seed oils that wreak havoc on our bodies.

Big Healthcare profits by convincing us that chronic conditions like sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes, and obesity are inevitable, offering pills and injections that mask symptoms while ignoring the root cause.

The fitness industry adds to the chaos, promoting extreme workouts and fad diets that leave people burned out, disillusioned, and stuck.

But here’s the truth: your body was never meant to feel weak, tired, or trapped in a cycle of pills and quick fixes. Deep down, within your very DNA, it’s designed for strength.

If you’re like many over age 40, you feel like you’re losing your strength and can’t get it back. We’re here to tell you it doesn’t have to be this way - get started with us today…

You’ve tried gyms or fitness programs that didn’t work
