A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
Sessions Personal Training couldn’t exist without the support of members like you. It took me TEN YEARS of personal and group training to finally open my first gym. Sessions Personal Training has been and will continue to be a labor of the same love, grit, and sweat that you are about to put into your body every time you step foot in our doors
My first training business operated out of a 350-square-foot garage in my backyard. My goal with Sessions Personal Training is to provide you with the same feeling my garage gym clients received upon entering my home gym: That feeling that you are heard, that you are seen, and that you belong.
Our aim is to provide you with the best personal training product and service you will ever receive and the only way we can continue to do that is with your support and feedback. I have an open-door policy when it comes to communication so for any and all things Sessions Personal Training related, please shoot me an email to evan@sessionspt.com.
COmmunication

HYGEINE
Personal Hygiene
You’re in a gym. You’re going to sweat. You’re going to stink. It’s okay. We still ask that all members wear a shirt (sports bra ok) and throw on some deodorant before training. All Sessions Personal Training studios are outfitted with personal hygiene products for your stink-free utilization.
We also require that any members intent on training “barefoot” wear socks while on the gym floor.
Facility Hygiene
In the gym, please wipe down and replace your equipment after use. Chalk is not allowed.
Please treat our amenities with as much (or more) care than you do at your home. If we are short of or missing any amenities, please inform a Sessions Personal Training Team Member as soon as possible so that we may replace it for you.
Timeliness
Personal Training & Private Training Sessions
All services provided by Sessions Personal Training require the punctuality of both coaches and members in order to make the most of your time here. Therefore, no person shall be admitted into an active Personal or Private Training Session seven (7) minutes after any Session has started and will be asked to reschedule for a later time.

OUR Manifesto
-
You know that feeling when you finish a workout and suddenly believe you could conquer a small country? That’s because the work itself is the win. We don’t chase meaningless gold stars—we lift them, squat them, and press them overhead. Your transformation isn’t just about an end goal; it’s about finding joy in the process, showing up, and becoming a little stronger every single day.
-
Description text goes hereHere’s a wild idea: if you said you want to get stronger, leaner, and feel amazing in your skin—then let’s actually do that. No getting sidetracked by fads, random fitness challenges, or your neighbor Karen’s latest crash diet. We train with purpose, with a plan, and with zero patience for distractions. Eyes on the prize, always.
-
Description text goes hereStrength isn’t just about lifting heavy—it’s about resilience, discipline, and showing up even when you don’t feel like it. It’s about choosing to push through discomfort rather than taking the easy way out. Life doesn’t hand out participation trophies, and neither do we. You’re here to build the kind of strength that carries over into everything you do.
-
Let’s be blunt—weakness isn’t just about struggling to lift a bag of groceries. It’s about being unprepared for life. It’s about not having the strength to protect yourself, the resilience to handle stress, or the durability to keep up with the things (and people) you love. We train because strength isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Weakness makes you vulnerable. Strength makes you unstoppable.
-
Fitness doesn’t have to be a lonely, miserable grind. That’s why we do this together. We lift each other up, literally and figuratively, and hold each other accountable. When you train here, you’re part of a team that actually gives a damn about your success. No egos, no judgment—just support, sweat, and maybe a little friendly trash talk.
-
Something brought you here. Maybe you’re tired of feeling stuck. Maybe you’re done wasting time on programs that don’t work. Maybe you just need a place where people believe in you until you believe in yourself. Whatever the reason—you’re here, and that means you belong. Now let’s get to work.
Your team of coaches are educated in more than just personal training. They are qualified to guide you in comprehensive physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In fact, we are one of the first gyms with coaches who have completed Precision Nutrition’s Stress, Sleep, and Recovery Certification. We are proud to share healthy lifestyle education using materials sourced from the American Sleep Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
