FAQS

Q: What is BAREfit Adventure Training? 

A: BAREfit is a fitness community focused on empowering our members to enjoy whatever adventure brings them the most joy in life. Whether it's cycling, running, rock climbing, hiking, paddling, camping, OCR, weekend fun with your family, etc. Our natural movement training will get you #AdventureReady and have a ton of fun in the process. 

Q: I haven't worked out in a long time. Can I still train with BAREFIT?

A: For sure! Since all of our exercises are based in natural human movement, they are highly adaptable to almost any fitness level.

Q: I have issues with (this part of my body), can I still train with BAREFIT?

A: In addition to our highly adaptable training style, our small classes allow individual attention & modifications for every exerciser.

Q: What equipment is used during BAREFIT training sessions?

A: in addition to body weight & traditional weights (dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, etc.) we utilize logs, stumps, sandbags, monkey bars, balance beams and whatever else our head coach Capt. Curtis finds while hiking. This not only makes our workouts fun & unique, it builds practical strength & skills to take on whatever adventure the world has in store. 

Q: What is Push, Pull, Whim?

A: Push, pull, whim is the method to our madness. Push workouts (Monday/Tuesday) focus on all the muscles on the front of your body. Think chest, shoulders, abs, quads, etc. Pull workouts (Wednesday/Thursday) focus on all the muscles push day doesn’t work.
Whim workouts (Friday/Saturday) center around a new obstacle course every week with balance, mobility, agility & core centric sets.

Q: I'm not really into outdoor adventure sports... does that mean BAREFIT isn't a good gym for me?

A: In the same way that Patagonia makes awesome jackets for anyone, even if they don’t wear them to climb mountains, our workouts are super effective for building strength, mobility, durability & capability in a unique & fun environment. 

In fact, many of our most dedicated members aren’t really that outdoorsy, but love us because they may not have felt welcome or comfortable in more traditional gyms & just dig our chill vibes. 

Or as we like to say... even if you don't want to become a climber, you probably wouldn't mind looking, feeling, and performing like you could be a climber if you decided to. BAREfit will build you a body that's ready for adventure... you get to decide what to do with it! 

Q: I see that BAREFIT uses obstacles courses. That sounds fun but intimidating. I don't think I can do monkey bars or other challenging obstacles. Does that mean shouldn't train with BAREFIT?

A: Doing things out of your comfort zone make you stronger both physically & mentally. That’s one of the main reasons we incorporate obstacles into our workouts. Plus it's a lot of fun, and helps us escape from the boring, repetitive workouts that cause thousands of people to quit their gym memberships each day.

When your workout takes you back to the days of playground fun as a child, AND it helps you build the strength, endurance, and capability you're looking for, that's hard to beat. 

And lastly, if you're not willing or able to handle a particular exercise, we have many modifications for everything we do. 

Q: What is an "Earn Your Beer" Challenge?

A: EYB is our monthly field trip where we meet at a local park or other cool location, do a big fun, often ridiculous workout, then enjoy some well earned libations & company at a nearby brewery.

Q: What will my first few sessions at BAREFIT be like?

A: You'll start with 1-3 intro sessions. They will be awesome, because Coach Olivia will be guiding you through all our foundational movements & class structure. 

Q: What do I need to bring to the session?

A: Other than an adventurous spirit… Wear weather appropriate exercise attire. If it’s 50 or above outside, expect our garage doors to be open, with an indoor temp consistent with the outside. In the winter, we keep things around 55/60, by running our heaters. 

Be sure to bring hydration or a bottle to fill up. We have filtered water on tap at the gym. We also sell Zevia soda, bottled water, supplements, snacks, and BAREFIT gear.
