Get Started
Your First Steps as a New Member
Begin With A Conversation
Before anything else, we want to understand you. You’ll complete a short questionnaire that helps us learn about your goals, your timeline, what pushes you to stay consistent, the times of day you prefer to train, and how you personally define progress. This helps us determine the best path forward together
Enjoy Two Complimentary Training Sessions
We believe you should feel confident and supported before committing to a program. That’s why every new member receives two no-cost introductory assessments.
During these sessions, your coach will:
- Observe your movement patterns
- Understand your priorities and long-term vision
- Teach safe and effective techniques
- Demonstrate the power of guided training vs. going solo
- Walk you through our program options
Prioritize Recovery from Day One
Training is only part of the journey—recovery is where your body grows stronger. Alongside your initial training experience, you’ll receive a complimentary recovery service and body composition scan to establish a baseline. As a Chiefs Fit Plaza newcomer, you’ll also have access to three total recovery sessions to help you feel your best as you get started.

Why is personal trainer certification important? It ensures your trainer isn’t just a hobbyist. It means they are certified by a nationally recognized body and adhere to the highest standards of safety and exercise science.
Do I have to be in shape to start? Absolutely not. Our programs evolve as you do. We start where you are today, and we adjust the plan as your abilities grow.
How do I stay consistent? We don’t let you fade away. At the end of every session, we schedule your next appointment. This simple habit keeps your momentum going and ensures you never fall through the cracks.
