​

  • How do I start?

​

​

  • Strength training scares me, will I get big or bulky? I just want to tone up.

    • No! Strength training will not make you ‘bulky’ unless you are intentionally setting out with the goal to ‘bulk up’ in mind. Bulking requires a lot of calories and a very specific training plan. Along with a proper diet, strength training will grow your muscles and burn fat in order to create what people call the ‘toned’ look. It will also drastically improve your day-to-day life by making daily tasks easier (think lifting your suitcase into the overhead bin on the plane or carrying all your groceries from your car to your home), help you sleep better and help reduce stress.

​

  • I’m not fit enough to work out/I want to get in shape before I start

    • The best time to start a fitness program is today! Sign up for our 30 day trial and our coaches will ensure your program is catered to your needs and ability. If there is an additional reason you feel like you need to get in shape first (injury, recovering, new to fitness), our Bridge Program might be right for you. 

​

  • I’m pregnant, can I continue working out?

    • Yes, most doctors have suggested that women can continue with the same exercises and intensity that they have previously been doing before pregnancy but to begin to decrease intensity and duration as you progress through your pregnancy. Prepare to tone it down. This will be different for everyone. We can help you determine how to modify your workouts as you move through each trimester.

​

  • Can I come work out on my own?

    • Leverage is a by appointment only facility, we do not offer open gym hours. â€‹

Attendance & Waitlist Policies

Waitlist

  • Once you get off the waitlist for a session, please remove yourself from the other waitlists you are on.

  • You are not eligible to be on the waitlist for another session once you get into a session.

  • If there are multiple sessions for a single hour, you may be on multiple waitlists. Please be courteous to fellow members and remove yourself from the other waitlists once you are added to a session. The app will not automatically remove you from a duplicate session. If you fail to remove your name from the app and are added to an additional session, the cancellation policy will be in effect.

  • Once scheduled, you are no longer eligible to remain on the waitlist.

  • You will not be charged for removing yourself from the waitlist at any time.

  • If you cannot attend a session, and are on the waitlist, please remove your name from that waitlist. You are eligible to be added to a session up to 30 minutes before the scheduled time. If you add your name and do not attend or cancel late, the cancellation policy will be in effect.

  • If you are removed from the waitlist, you are automatically added to the session. If you select "N" when you are notified via text or email if within 12 hours of the session, it will count as a late cancel. Please remove yourself from the waitlist if you do not plan on attending the session.

  • If you show up for a session you are still waitlisted for, you will not be guaranteed a spot. If another member fails to show up, we will make every effort to accommodate you.

​

Extra Session Charges

  • If you use all of your sessions for the month and continue to sign up/attend semi-private sessions, there will be an automatic session charge to your account at your membership's current rate.

    • For example, a six-month membership with eight sessions will be charged $37/session for each additional session.

  • If you are frequently using additional sessions, you might consider an increased membership level.

  • You can track the number of sessions you have used several ways:

  1. Branded APP 

    • Click on 'More' in the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen. Then select 'Visit History', this link will bring you to MindBody. Log in to view your complete visit history.

    • You can view your future and past attendance (the past seven classes) from the Schedule section of your profile. A max of seven classes will appear for upcoming classes on the Schedule screen on the Profile tab.

      • If all sessions in your membership have been used, a membership option will not appear.

        • Your pass explained: Sample Membership (SPT X 8 sessions/month) – 8 Sessions shown has all sessions available to use and is not expired, therefore it will appear in Passes. If the pass were used for a visit, it would then be deducted and indicate 7/8 sessions now remain for booking.  Canceling a future visit would replenish the remaining number, so if you had a single session pass and canceled that visit, the pass would then reappear in Your Passes. If the pass is expired and/or all sessions are currently in use, you will not see the pass here.

  2. MindBody App: 

    • You can log into the Mindbody App using your same login information

    •   To see visit history: Profile > Schedule
