What about the dark?
SEAL Team PT has been working out in the dark for 12 years. You will be amazed at how well your night vision adapts.
Where are the workouts?
Outdoors at local parks and universities in Richmond, Charlottesville, and DC.
Are the sessions really hard?
Like most things in life you will get out of the workouts what you put into it. If you push and focus on good form, you will get the most out of it.
What if I don’t know anyone?
At SEAL Team PT we say “if you don’t know someone introduce yourself.” Many members say they have more friends today than ever.
Will I be able to get changed at the workout location?
Show up dressed and ready to go.
Will I need fluid/water?
You are required to show up hydrated workout. Participants are also required to have water/Gatorade/protein drink in their car to replenish fluids lost during the workout.
What about my car keys?
Instructors will collect your keys at the beginning of class and safely secure them, unless you want to carry them yourself.
What kind of training will it involve?
Everything! Upper/lower body strength, endurance, speed, balance, and more.
Will you measure my fitness?
Yes, future Members start day one and end day ten with a fitness test. We periodically test members also to show progress.
What if I can't make 9 out of 10 workouts?
Graduates of the Basic Fitness Class are required to make 9 out of 10 classes to graduate, receive t-shirt and certificate, and be eligible for membership. If you find trouble with your schedule, you still have to make 9 out of 10 classes but you can attend classes outside of your registered class. For example, if you sign up for 5:45 but have to miss two 5:45 classes, you can attend the 9:30 or 6:00 pm class to make your 9 out of 10.
