Frequently asked questions.
-
CoGym is a private coaching studio built around one goal: gym independence. You train under a coach, learn to structure your own workouts, and graduate to training on your own at any facility.
-
CoGym is a private coaching studio, not an open gym. The goal of the process is to teach you how to train effectively at any facility of your choosing while continuing to receive programming, structure, and progress tracking through your coach. Independent workouts must be completed at another facility.
-
Yes. Independent workouts are completed at a gym of your choosing. The goal is to teach you how to train at any facility. Your coach programs according to the equipment you have access to.
-
Yes. Programming is adjusted around any injury or limitation. CoGym is located inside Myo Physiotherapy, which allows for direct coordination with a physical therapist if desired.
Getting Started
-
Coached workouts are one hour. Your coach runs you through your programmed exercises with an emphasis on form, technique, and understanding the reasoning behind your programming. The goal is skill transfer, every session moves you closer to training independently.
-
A typical workout will begin with a warm-up that corresponds to the main movements. Main movements include heavier barbell and dumbbell movements, followed by supplemental movements with specialized equipment to target weaknesses.
-
Every independent workout is programmed by your coach and delivered through the CoGym training app. You'll see your full session laid out with exercises, sets, reps, rest periods, and video demos. Each workout is designed for the facility you train at.
-
Whatever you have access to. Your coach programs independent workouts around the equipment at your facility. If your workout venue has limitations, programming is adjusted accordingly.
-
Text, email, or the CoGym training app. Your coach is available between sessions for questions about programming, form, or anything related to your training.

It is recommended to retest your score on a monthly basis but you are welcome to do so during any of your workouts.
