What level of fitness is required to start?
All fitness levels are welcome. Individuals who have completed physical therapy and are ready to transition to routine exercise should take advantage of our free individual fitness assessments. This will help you identify best exercise options and safety issues before starting so you can make modifications when needed. The BFA Group workouts have dual track programming to accommodate personalized goals.
Can children join?
Membership is limited to adults. BFA Fitness Club focuses on meeting the needs of individuals looking for a place to exercise safely when they are in their 40s or up, but anyone 18 or older is welcome to join. We know that life happens and you may sometimes want to bring children so you don't miss a workout. While kids cannot use the equipment, the occasional chance to see parents being healthy role models is not a bad thing!
Can workouts be customized to my goals?
Absolutely! We offer dual track programming of the BFA group workouts to meet personalized goals in either Functional Fitness or Athletic Performance. The individual assessment, which is the first step toward Club membership, will help to identify the best plan for you.
What benefits does your app offer?
Our app allows you to reserve your spot in class, make personal training appointments, and log workouts to stay on track with your fitness journey.
What features and amenities can I enjoy as a BFA Fitness Club member?
An air-conditioned workout environment keeps our Club members comfortable year-round, and on nice days, we love opening the garage doors to take advantage of our scenic river rail trail location. For those exercising before work, we provide clean shower facilities stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and fresh towels. We also have a filtered water bottle–filling station. Every detail is designed to make your workout experience pleasant, convenient, and enjoyable from start to finish.
Do you offer an assessment to provide guidance on getting started?
Yes. An individual assessment is complimentary and is the first step towards Club membership. It provides a baseline, identifies safety issues and goals, and allows the Exercise Specialists to tailor exercise plans to your individual needs. You can schedule your assessment right from the website.
Are there virtual workout options?
Yes, some of our programmed workouts require minimum equipment and can be done virtually. This allows you to stay on track with your fitness routine if you are busy or traveling.
What makes your gym's culture unique?
Being rooted in medical expertise, non-negotiable features of Breath of Fresh Air Fitness Club include: attention to safety, highly qualified staff, and a science-driven approach to fitness. Just as importantly, our culture emphasizes community support and values members at every stage of life.
