FAQ
Questions Before You Start?
You're not alone if you're feeling nervous, unsure, or comparing your options. Here are answers to the most common questions people ask before training with Vitruv.
Getting Started
Start Your Journey
How do I start?
Start by requesting a consultation. The consultation is where we discuss your goals, history, schedule, concerns, and whether Vitruv is the right fit.
What happens in the consultation?
You talk through your goals, training history, pain points, schedule, and comfort level. From there, Nik recommends the best starting point.
What happens in the assessment?
The assessment follows the consultation. Small-group training uses a foundational movement review. Semi-private and one-on-one coaching use a more in-depth pain and movement assessment when needed.
Do I need to be in shape?
No. Your starting point is exactly what the consultation and assessment are for.
How often should I train?
Typical frequency should be finalized by Vitruv before launch and explained based on goals, schedule, and training option.
How long are sessions?
Session length should be confirmed before publishing so expectations are clear.
Training Options
Choose Your Path
Is this personal training or group fitness?
This is personal training in a small-group or personalized setting. It is not a crowded class or random workout.
Will I do the same workout as everyone else?
In small-group training, clients generally follow the same overall training structure, but that does not mean every person performs every exercise in exactly the same way. Exercises, loads, ranges of motion, and progressions are adjusted based on your abilities, goals, and training history. In semi-private and one-on-one training, your entire program is designed specifically for you based on a more in-depth assessment.
What is the difference between small-group and semi-private?
Small-group uses a shared structure with individualized coaching. Semi-private uses a completely personalized program with more individual attention.
Do you help with nutrition?
Nutrition guidance may be included depending on the training option and goals. Final service-by-service nutrition support should be confirmed before launch.
Is this an open gym?
No. Vitruv is not an open gym. Training happens by appointment or reserved training time with coaching.
Pain & Movement
Move with Confidence
What if I have pain or previous injuries?
Training starts by understanding your history, current limitations, and how your body responds to movement. Exercises can be modified and progressed intelligently.
Is this physical therapy?
No. Vitruv is not physical therapy and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. When symptoms require medical evaluation or exercise clearance, Vitruv refers to an appropriate healthcare professional.
Do I need clearance?
If your symptoms or medical history require clearance, you should receive it before training.
How is pain monitored?
Vitruv does not ask you to ignore significant symptoms. Your response is monitored, exercises are adjusted when needed, and that information guides exercise selection and progression.
Pricing & Policies
Plans & Guidelines
How much does training cost?
Vitruv offers several training options based on the level of support, personalization, and frequency you need. Small Group Training can be as little as $30 per session, while semi-private and one-on-one training provide a more individualized experience. We’ll help you choose the best fit during your initial consultation.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Yes. Plans require a minimum commitment of one month, giving you enough time to build consistency and begin seeing meaningful progress.
What if I miss a session?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel. Because space is limited, sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be counted as used.
Are there waitlists?
Some training times fill quickly and may have a waitlist. We recommend reaching out as soon as possible so we can discuss current openings and find a time that works for you.
