Common questions
Getting started
Do I need to be fit before I join?
No. Everything is scaled to whoever is in the room, and a coach will show you where to start. Nobody is expected to arrive already in shape — that is what the gym is for.
How do I join?
Walk into whichever club is nearest you, or send us a message and we will call you back. Someone will show you round, explain the options and get you set up.
What should I bring?
Training clothes, indoor trainers, a towel and water. Everything else is here.
Training
What is the difference between group training and group classes?
Group training is a small group following one programme under a coach who knows each of you — close to personal training, shared. Group classes are open studio sessions anyone can join, led by a coach, scaled on the spot.
Do you offer one-to-one coaching?
Yes. Private training starts with an assessment and gives you a written programme and a coach in every session. Ask at reception and we will match you with someone.
I have an old injury. Can I still train?
Almost always, yes — but tell your coach before you start. We will work around it and, where it makes sense, work on it.
Are the coaches qualified?
Fitness Empire is an I.S.S.A. official training centre. Our coaching staff are certified, insured and assessed on an ongoing basis.
Membership
Can I use my membership at every branch?
Yes. One membership works at Gemayze, Mansourieh, Rawche and Baabda.
When are you open?
Hours vary slightly by club and are listed on each location page. In general we open early on weekdays and stay open late; weekends are shorter.
