FAQ:

1. What is KALO Fitness? KALO Fitness is a boutique coaching studio specializing in women's health, fitness, wellness & community. We provide a holistic approach that bridges the gap between fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle.

2. What does "KALO" mean? The word KALO is derived from the Greek word "Kalon," meaning beauty that is more than skin deep. We believe in nurturing both physical and inner strength by aligning our actions with our core values. Fitness and nervous system regulation are the main tools we use to build a purposeful life from the inside-out.

4. What makes KALO Fitness different from other fitness studios? KALO is so much more than just a gym. It’s a community of like minded women who desire a different approach to the traditional model of fitness. One of the biggest things that separates us is our focus on the nervous system as the foundational pillar of health. We use modalities like the cold plunge and breathwork to teach clients how to regulate and create resiliency in their lives. Every offering we have is rooted in knowing yourself and your WHY, and creating habits that personally align. In addition, at KALO we understand that women’s bodies are different than men’s, and should be trained accordingly. We focus exclusively on strength training as this form of exercise is the most effective way to prevent injury, preserve bone mass, create metabolic health and balance out hormones. No matter what phase of life you’re in, you’ll find the tools to support you in your wellness journey here.

5. Can I book a class on my own? Unfortunately not. Because our studio is small group/personally training, we place clients individually into sessions. This allows for accountability on both ends, and also provides ease with scheduling. In your initial consultation you will be linked with one of the owners to schedule your sessions. You are able to cancel sessions on your own using our scheduling platform. Travel a lot for work? No problem. Just message us weekly as you’re in town and we will place you accordingly.

6. What are the benefits of small group training at KALO Fitness? Small group training at KALO Fitness offers several benefits:

• Personalized Attention: With only 4-5 women in each session, our coaches can provide individualized feedback and adjustments to ensure you are getting the most out of your workout.

• Camaraderie: Training with a small group of like-minded women creates a supportive and motivating environment, helping you stay committed to your fitness journey.

• Cost-Effective: Small group training offers the benefits of personal training at a more affordable rate.

• Accountability: The group setting encourages accountability, as members often motivate each other to show up and push their limits.
