Yes, I offer a complimentary 15 min phone consultation to discuss your goals, answer any questions, and determine if we're a good fit to work together.
Do you offer a consultation before starting?
I can offer basic guidance to support your fitness goals including general nutrition tips. For more specific dietary needs I am happy to refer you to other qualified professionals in the community.
Do you offer nutritional guidance?
Yes. While AVM Fitness primarily offers 1:1 personal training, training with a friend or partner may be available. Contact Alex to discuss what you’re looking for and whether it would be a good fit.
Can I train with a friend or partner?
Please see the Services page or booking link for current options and pricing.
What are your rates?
Scheduling and payments are handled through Vagaro. You can book personal training sessions, purchase memberships, register for Movement Workshops, and manage your appointments online.
How do I schedule and pay for sessions?
Wear comfortable gym or workout clothes that allow you to move freely. Feel free to bring a hand towel if you'd like, and a water bottle.
What should I wear or bring to a session?
A general movement assessment to identify any areas of limitation in strength, mobility, or balance. We will discuss your fitness goals and from there outline a realistic timeframe we'll be working together.
What can I expect in our first session?
You are never too old to start. Staying active becomes even more important as we age. Strength training, mobility work, and balance focused movement can help improve your energy, confidence, and quality of life.
I'm in my 60s/70s/80s am I too old to start training?
Yes, I regularly work with clients who have a history of injuries or mobility challenges. This includes individuals with Parkinson's, joint replacements, old athletic injuries, and mechanical movement limitations. My approach centers around corrective exercises and mobility training. I begin by identifying imbalances or movement restrictions, then we will work together to restore function, improve movement patterns, and build strength safely.
Can you help if I have past injuries or mobility limitations?
Each training session is 60 minutes long. This allows enough time for a full warm-up, focused work tailored to your goals, and a proper cooldown or mobility work as needed.
How long are training sessions?
Yes. Virtual personal training provides the same individualized coaching, feedback, and support from wherever you train.
Note: Virtual sessions are most effective when you have access to some basic equipment at home such as dumbbells, resistance bands, or a mat.
can i train virtually?
I work with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels. My youngest client is 12 and my oldest is 91. Whether you're an athlete looking to improve performance, someone recovering from injury or simply want to move better and feel stronger, everyone is welcome.
What type of clients do you work with?
In person sessions are held at my gym studio located at 33827 SE Eastgate Cir Corvallis, OR 97333. I also offer virtual sessions. Mobile sessions and outdoor workouts are limited and by request only depending on availability.
Where are in person sessions held?
Personal training appointments require at least 12 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Movement Workshops require at least 24 hours’ notice. Late cancellations and no-shows are subject to AVM Fitness’s cancellation policies.
Note: I understand emergencies and unexpected situations happen. Accommodations will be made on a case-by-case basis. Please communicate as soon as you're able.
What is your cancellation policy?
Movement Workshops are $20 per person. AVM Fitness members receive preferred pricing of $15 for Movement Workshops.
How much do Movement Workshops cost?
Movement Workshops are offered every Thursday. Adult workshops are held at 10:00 AM and 5:30 PM, and the Youth Movement Workshop is held at 4:00 PM. Workshops are limited to 6 participants, and advance registration is required.
How often are Movement Workshops offered?
Monthly memberships are available for clients who want ongoing coaching and a more regular training schedule. Choose from 2, 4, 8, or 10 personal training sessions per month based on how often you’d like to train. Memberships are available for both in-person and virtual personal training, and members receive preferred pricing on Movement Workshops.
How do personal training memberships work?
No. Monthly memberships are available for clients who want ongoing training and support, but single in-person and virtual sessions are still available for those who prefer a pay-as-you-go option.
