The classes at 121 Fitness are designed to be safe and challenging. Please remember these guidelines:

  • -Learn how to monitor your training heart rate. When not using a heart monitor, we use perceived exertion.  Your fitness instructor or any 121 personal trainer can help you learn your target heart rate and understand your heart rate response.
  • -Wear comfortable attire and proper footwear.
  • -Give your body time to adapt to the exercise.
  • -Drink water before, during and after exercise to prevent dehydration and muscle cramps.
  • -If you arrive late or leave early, remember the importance of the warm-up, cool-down and stretch.
  • -Please do not enter if 15 or more minutes late.
  • -Please notify your instructor if you have any special concerns, i.e., pregnancy, diabetes, fasting, surgery, etc., so modifications can be explained.
