Get ready for a new era of Performance Fitness at Athletic Lab! Starting July 21, we’re launching a refreshed class structure and delivery method for our adult fitness programs. While our class schedule remains unchanged, you’ll experience a more engaging, effective, and varied approach designed to elevate your results and enhance your experience. To learn more about the updates, check out the first two posts (1 & 2) in our blog series. Here, we’re answering your most common questions about what’s changing and what to expect: Program Wide Changes The changes we've made are limited to programming and assessments. The overall membership and schedule will remain the same for the foreseeable future. Will the schedule change? No. We have no plans to change our current schedule of classes. All class types within the Performance Fitness membership will occur at the same frequency and on our existing schedule. Will pricing change? No. All membership pricing remains the same for the foreseeable future. Do I need to do anything different? Nope. Just show up. As always, consistency is key to your success. You keep showing up and we'll take care of the rest. Why are you making changes? We wanted to design an program that would balance consistency with variety.

Athletic Lab is thrilled to announce a comprehensive overhaul of our Performance Fitness class programming. While our class schedule remains unchanged, we are introducing a new structure and delivery method for our adult fitness classes to deliver an enhanced training experience for every member.

Our revamped Performance Fitness membership is designed to improve and assess the most critical components of healthspan, including: Muscle strength Muscle mass Cardiovascular capacity Measuring Progress: Track What Matters By identifying the most important KPIs for health and performance, our programming enables you to focus your training where it counts. We believe that “you can’t improve what you don’t track,” so we are increasing opportunities for members to monitor their progress through regular check-ins. This does not mean every session is a test or competition. In fact, we are reducing the frequency of tracked or competition-style workouts. Instead, our emphasis is on a select group of KPIs that are proven indicators of health and performance. Introducing the Athletic Lab Adult Fitness Standards Drawing from exercise science research, military and civil service fitness standards, and our extensive database of performance benchmarks, we have developed the Athletic Lab Adult Fitness Standards. These standards allow both members and non-members to benchmark their fitness across gender, age, and experience levels. Our fitness standards serve as a valuable resource for: [...]
