Getting started is easy
Three steps to your first session.
Book a Free Intro
A quick chat and a tour to understand your goals and training history. Thirty minutes, no pressure.
Meet your coach
We map your best pathway: onboarding, semi-private coaching, testing or 1:1, based on what you actually need.
Start training
Settle in, train with intent, and we keep you progressing with programming, coaching and regular check-ins.
- Every session coached by a professional, capped at max 8 so the standard stays high
- Mandatory 1:1 onboarding so you are never lost on the floor
- Testing at the start and end of every 13-week season, so progress is measured
The honest answers
Things people ask before they walk in.
What does it cost?
Everyone starts with a Free Intro, and that costs nothing. Choose a 15-minute phone call or a 30-minute visit to discuss what you want and whether Virtus is a fit. If it is, you start with one-on-one onboarding: a coach screens how you move, teaches you the lifts from the ground up and builds your first program, so you are never guessing on the floor. After that, memberships run from $69 to $140 a week depending on the program and how often you train, and every Session is coached. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
How is this different from a normal gym?
A normal gym sells you access to equipment. We coach you: every session run by a coach, capped at a maximum of 8 on the floor, on a program built around your goals. You are paying for progress, not a swipe card.
I'm not fit enough to start.
You are exactly who we coach. Onboarding is one-on-one, your program starts where you actually are, and nobody on our floor cares what anyone else is lifting. Every member started somewhere.
I've never touched a barbell.
Perfect. No habits to unlearn. Your coach teaches you from the ground up in onboarding, and you will not touch a loaded bar until you have earned it and want it.
How much time do I need?
Most members train 2 to 4 sessions a week. Sessions run 45 to 75 minutes and every minute is programmed, so you are in, coached, and out.
What actually happens at the Free Intro?
Choose a 15-minute phone call or a 30-minute visit. Talk through your goals and training history, ask questions, see the floor if you visit, and get an honest recommendation even if it is not Virtus.
