​

Do I need to take semi-private sessions before classes?

​

​

I see on your website that you have semi-privates, rather than privates. Can I book a private?

At Jimmies, a semi-private means that when you arrive you may have 1-2 other people being coached by the same coach in your session. Each of you, however, will have your unique program based on your goals and needs. The other clients' level will not affect your session. If you are a beginner and absolutely would like to start with a one-on-one session, give us a call at 514-733-6555.

 

 

I travel often. Can I pause my sessions?
 

When you purchase a package of sessions, they will remain active on your account for 1 year, so you do not need to worry about loosing them when you are away for a few weeks.

​

​

Can I work out in Jimmies on my own?

No. In order to uphold our high quality standards in training and results, all member must train with a coach either in a class or semi-private session.

​

​

Can I train online and onsite?
 

Yes, you can choose to purchase a mix of online and onsite training sessions to fit your lifestyle.

 

 

I do Yoga. Does that give me the same benefits as Jimmies?
 

No, yoga does not offer the same benefits as functional training. Functional training will not only prevent muscle loss as you age, but will increase your muscle mass and bone density. At Jimmies, you will also work your conditioning (cardio), raising your heart rate much higher than yoga, which is beneficial for your circulatory system. Yoga and training at Jimmies are complimentary.

 

 

I have arthritis. Can I train at Jimmies?
 

Yes, you can certainly train at Jimmies if you have arthritis. Training is crucial for those with arthritis, as it will increase your strength, mobility, and decrease joint pain. We are always listening to and mindful of what makes your body feel good and what causes you pain, so that we can be attentive to your needs at all times.
