Walking into a gym for the first time can often feel bigger than the workout itself. At Urth Fitness, we know that the first week sets the tone, so everything is designed to help you feel welcome, informed and in control from day one. Your journey starts at reception, where a member of the Urth team greets you and asks about your goals and movement preferences.
Rather than pointing in the general direction of the gym floor, they’ll walk you through the spaces you’re most likely to use, from cardio and strength areas to the group fitness studios. It is a personalised tour, shaped around what you actually want from your gym membership- not just a script.
You’ll then talk about routine, recovery, and membership options. Paige Fahey, Manager at Urth Fitness Lambton, says it is all about listening.
“We take the time to understand what you are hoping to achieve, how often you want to train and what feels realistic,” she explains.
“Then we talk through options like our beginner-friendly Intro membership so people can start at a pace that suits them, without feeling confused or overwhelmed. If you are still unsure, you can start with a free trial to scope out the gym floor and even give the Recovery Lounge a go before you commit.”
Your first workouts might be a mix of exploring the gym floor and trying a class or two. Staff can point out beginner friendly sessions, help you find a spot, set up equipment, and follow along. Class routines are tailored to all fitness levels, so you can work out comfortably while still feeling guided and included.
By the end of week one, the unknowns start to disappear. You know what to bring, where everything is and who to ask for help. Most importantly, you begin to realise that Urth Fitness isn’t a place full of “fitsperts” grunting out massive lifts, but a community of everyday people simply finding their way to be stronger versions of themselves, one visit at a time.
