FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT MAKES YOUR GYM SPECIAL?
We know how intimidating the gym can be, especially when starting out. Our small studio allows you to work one on one with a personal trainer without having to worry about people working out around you, in a judgment free and comfortable environment. Got a favourite playlist that motivates you? Plug it into our speaker system to personalize the space to what you need. Our studio is a safe, private space for you to learn and gain confidence in yourself before moving into a public setting. The only time you will have another person working out with you is if you take advantage of our partner training and bring a friend!
WHERE DO I PARK?
Our gym is located at #107 5303 50 ave on the South side of the building. There are 3 stalls in front of the De Novo Fitness entrance. If these stalls are filled, please park in the North parking lot.
HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR TRAINER AT A GYM?
At De Novo Fitness, we are committed to your safety, delivering a more thorough intake process, which is composed of a full medical history, lifestyle and physical assessments to identify any underlying health issues. We look at the whole being and help you come up with a plan that works for you. This can include physical, nutritional, and sleep recommendations, depending on your needs.
We are highly trained in our field; our qualifications include a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and certification as a personal trainer through the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. This organization is the gold standard in Canada and requires 4+ years of education in the field as well as continuing education every year to help us serve a broader range of clients.
Our programs give you choice and freedom to change your lifestyle in a way that you're comfortable with in a private, non- judgmental setting.
​
WHAT CAN I EXPECT ON MY FIRST DAY?
We will begin with a free initial consult that will last about an hour. In this session we will get to know more about you and your goals and identify any underlying health issues. We will take initial measurements of blood pressure and resting heart rate to clear your for physical activity. Please wear a t- shirt for this! This initial consult will also give you an opportunity to meet our trainer and make sure we're a good match for you. If you wish to proceed with training, we will book you in for a fitness assessment to get started!
WHAT ASPECTS OF MY LIFESTYLE CAN YOU HELP ME WITH?
While we primarily work with creating exercise programs, we are also qualified to give recommendations about nutrition, sleep, and habit changes. These are extras included in a monthly membership that you won't find at a big box gym, free of charge. If you have a concern, please bring it up in your free initial consult.

At every training session, bring clothes that are comfortable for you to move in, a pair of running shoes, and a water bottle. On the day of your initial consult, please wear a t- shirt and bring your completed intake forms.
