We encourage you to come, even if you have never worked out before.  IMPORTANT, please let your instructor or coach know WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE FRONT DESK if you have an injury that needs special modifications.

Do I need to make a reservation for Fitness Classes, Open GYM Circuit Training, and/or Exercise Blasts?

Yes!  We have options all day long to work out, but we want to make sure we do not book our programs over capacity.  We STRONGLY encourage you to make a reservation beforehand to make sure you can Get Yo’ FIT On when you arrive.  You CAN just show up but if we are full then you will be unable to work out.

How do I make a reservation for a Class, Open GYM Circuit Training, and/or Exercise Blasts?
To register and reserve your space for a class, simply go to our website, www.teamifit.com, click “Schedule and Reservations,” and reserve a space for the time and class of your choice.  At this point you will be prompted to create a username, password, and profile.

Once you click “Make a Reservation,” click “Get Yo’ FIT On”.  If you are a member, you will be signed into the class.  If you do not have a membership or series, you will be prompted to make a payment.  An email confirmation and reminder will be sent to you before your scheduled reservation.

How early in advance can I make a reservation?

Reservations open at 6AM 7 days in advance.

Why can I reserve some Open GYM Circuit Training, Exercise Blast, and Cross Training reservations hourly and others within a few hour time block?

The hourly blocks are around our busier times when we need to make sure we are not over capacity.  We still encourage you to make a reservation so we know to expect you during a given time frame.

If I book Open GYM Circuit Training at 6:30AM and cannot come until 7AM, is that okay?

Yes, that is fine.  You probably want to also book yourself for the next time frame as well so you can get a full hour workout.  You are also welcome to just stay 30-minutes and get a quick workout with one of our Exercise Blasts or 30-minute classes.

Do I have to work out for a full hour?

That is completely up to you.  You can work out for 20 minutes or a full hour.  If we are not busy, you can stay as long as you’d like, though we do not recommend working out for more than 90-minutes.  Even though we have options to keep you moving all day long, we do not want you to overexert yourself.

Why is there is no button to make a reservation?

Most likely you are looking too far in advance.  As mentioned above, reservations open at 6AM 7 days in advance.

Can I make a reservation last minute?

As long as there is room, absolutely!

What if I need to cancel last minute?

If you are unable to attend, you MUST cancel your reservation to open spaces up to others.  Reservations may be canceled online by clicking “My Info” then “My Schedule”, or by calling (312) 204-7333.

Will I be charged if I am unable to attend?

Non-members will be charged the cost of a drop-in class if reservations are not canceled.  You will not be charged if you cancel your reservation.

I still have class cards, are they still valid?

We no longer accept any class cards.  Everything is now done electronically.

What do I do if I try to make a reservation and it is full?

If reservations are full, you can still reserve a space and be put on a wait list after making your reservation.   You will receive an email confirmation once a space opens.  Otherwise, you can always give us a call to check your wait list status.

Open GYM Circuit Training is an incredible way to build strength and cardiovascular endurance that includes 15 different exercises that you do for 1 minute with a 25 second rest in between each exercise.  The goal is to go through the Open GYM exercises 2-3 times.  The exercises change weekly, and there are 2-4 different workouts to choose from depending on the day you come to Get Yo’ FIT On.  If you want to burn a lot of calories and bump up your endurance, Open GYM Circuit Training is just for you.  Since Open GYM is included in ALL memberships, we recommend everyone do it at least 1x/week.

Cross Training Workouts have a different focus each day and are a great mix of strength, cardio, and endurance training.   Examples of our daily programs include Upper Body Burn Out, Lower Body Blast, Boxing Burn, Abs & Arms, and Cardio Blast.  If you want to continually challenge your body with different exercises and track your monthly progress then our Cross Training program is the way to go.

There will always be a TEAMiFIT Coach available to answer any questions about Open GYM Circuit Training and/or Cross Training Workouts.
