What to Expect During Your First Personal Training Session at Pasadena Elite Fitness
Starting something new — especially fitness — can come with a lot of questions. What if I’m not fit enough? Will it be too intense? What if I feel awkward or out of place?
At Pasadena Elite Fitness, we totally get it. That’s why we’ve created a space that feels less like a gym and more like your own private training suite. No mirrors, no crowds, no pressure — just you, your goals, and a trainer who’s there to support you every step of the way.
So if you’ve been thinking about working with a personal trainer but don’t know what to expect, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what your very first session looks like with us.
Step 1: We Talk — No Workout Gear Needed Yet
We start every new client session with a conversation. You’ll sit down with your trainer (probably with a bottle of water in hand), and talk about what brought you in — whether it’s pain in your lower back, feeling sluggish, wanting to lose weight, or just not knowing where to start.
We’ll also cover your medical history, past injuries, and what you hope to get out of training. There’s no judgment here. Our job is to meet you where you are — not where you think you should be.
Step 2: We Move — Just a Little
Next, we’ll guide you through a few easy movements to get a sense of how your body moves. Think: simple squats, reaching overhead, or walking across the room. This helps us understand your mobility, balance, and areas that might need a little extra attention.
Don’t worry — this is not a workout. No burpees. No pushups. No “let’s see how strong you are.” It’s just an assessment to help us create a plan that actually works for you.
Step 3: We Make a Plan Together
By the end of your first session, we’ll show you what your training plan could look like. Whether your goal is to feel stronger, move without pain, or simply make fitness part of your weekly routine, we’ll map out a step-by-step game plan.
You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and hopefully, a little excitement about what’s ahead.
Thinking about getting started?
You don’t have to be “ready.” You just have to be curious enough to show up. We’ll take care of the rest.
