What’s the 3-session trial?

Every potential member at GAIN starts with a 3-session trial. It’s your chance to meet our coaches, experience our coaching style, and get a feel for what makes GAIN so different from the average gym. Our approach is individualized—personal training that feels like a group but isn’t actually one. It's a vibe that’s hard to describe until you experience it for yourself.

Session 1: The Intro Workout

Your first session is all about connection. You’ll work closely with a coach through our Intro Workout, where we focus on fundamental movements, and assessing your range of motion and stability. We’ll chat about your injury history, training background, and goals—what you want to get out of your time in the gym.

No matter your fitness level, our goal is to have you leave that first session thinking, “I could have done more.” That’s intentional. We can write hard workouts all day, but there’s no need to prove anything on day one. Instead, we want to ease you in and help you build a habit that lasts.

Session 2: Adding Movement & Conditioning

By the second workout, you’ll start to see more movement variety. We introduce conditioning (cardio) elements and show you some of our go-to mobility drills. This session is focused on upper body pressing and pulling, plus some single-leg strength work. You’ll continue learning without feeling overwhelmed—we keep the pace accessible while still progressing.

Session 3: The Hinge & Putting It All Together

The final trial workout covers the hinge pattern—an essential movement that can be tricky to learn but pays off in every area of training. We also revisit movements from sessions one and two as needed. Most people find this third session to be their biggest workout yet, and that’s by design. By now, your body is adapting, and we can push things just a bit more.

Why It Works

The 3-Session Trial is a crash course in GAIN’s training philosophy. You’ll learn foundational exercises, get detailed coaching, and leave with a better understanding of how to move well and feel more connected to your body. More importantly, you’ll leave with a plan tailored to your goals—something unique to you.

We’re not just trying to get you through a workout. We’re here to help you build something that lasts.

Get involved.
