Getting started with Fitness Table

The first step in beginning with the Fitness Table is an evaluation.
During your evaluation, you’re assessed to identify issues, imbalances and other areas where you’ll need strengthening and exactly what YOU need to improve your core strength and posture and the proper class level for you to begin at.
The evaluation is an important part of the Fitness Table process, to ensure that we know what you need to be doing and NOT doing during class so you improve and get stronger. Call us at 403-245-9009 or email us at [email protected] to book an evaluation appointment.
IF you have no issues or injuries, you are welcome to try a complimentary class BEFORE your evaluation appointment (Level 1 or Open 1-4). 
You can claim your complimentary class by signing up through the “Complimentary Class” tab in the menu above, create a new account with your name and email, and select your class at the online store. The complimentary class is only valid for 7 days.

The next step

 

During your evaluation it will be determined what the best starting point is for you.  Some people are recommended to begin with (or prefer to begin with) private sessions.  Most people can begin with  group classes at Level 1 or Special Back Class (SBC) for those with injuries and issues.

When you decide to join us, you can pay a drop in rate to attend class in studio or online, however, choosing a monthly class package is the best value.

We have a number of different packages to suit your needs based on how many classes a week you wish to attend in house, online or a combination of both.  Our packages auto-renew monthly, however you have the option to turn off this option.  We currently have the following package options: 

  • 4 Classes in Studio: This option is best for those that wish to attend class once a week for in house classes
  • 8 Classes in Studio: This option is best for those that wish to attend class twice a week for in house classes
  • Unlimited in studio classes: This option is best for those that want to come to class multiple times a week, this is your best option value wise.
  • Unlimited Virtual Classes with 4 Classes in Studio: This is a good option for those that would like to do a combination of online and in studio classes, you can come in for corrections once a week while having the option of exercising in your own home.
  • Unlimited Virtual Classes and 8 Classes in Studio
  • Unlimited Virtual Classes and Unlimited in Studio Classes: This option is great for those that want to do multiple classes a week at home and in the studio
  • Virtual Unlimited Class: This option is great for those that wish to exercise in the comfort of their own home and not come into the studio

Please note that all virtual packages (not including the virtual drop in) have access to our virtual library

Please contact the studio if you are interested in private and semi-private sessions

Please note that there is a 24-hour notice required for cancellation of private sessions or will be charged in full.

There will be no refunds after first class.

We look forward to meeting you, and we’re happy to answer any questions you have; simply give us a call at 403-245-9009 or click here to email us.

Fitness Table Method FAQ

Exercises on a table?

The Fitness Table Method, as the name suggests, refers to exercises done on a table specifically designed to be gripped in different ways that make it possible to shift the centre of gravity and work on the deep musculature. The table allows participants to lengthen and strengthen the muscles responsible for alignment in ways that no traditional training equipment does.

 

But why work on the deep muscles?

In the long term, static positions and lack of exercise results in a loss of muscle tone in the deep musculature and that can lead to chronic back and joint pain.

Who can practice the Fitness Table Method?

Anyone between the ages of 15 and 85 who has the desire to follow an original and focused method that will provide benefits day after day. The Fitness Table Method focuses on the quality, precision and intensity of the training rather than on the quantity of exercise.

 

Am I strong enough to practice the method?

This isn’t about employing Herculean strength, rather it is about isolating the deep muscles and doing exercises of increasing intensity. As one develops more control, the exercises make more demands on the muscle groups, which in addition improves posture and increases flexibility and precision in everyday movements.

What if I have injuries, will I be able to keep up?

The Fitness Table Method offers a great variety of movement, avoiding monotony and stimulating interest and imagination to develop greater motor control. Everyone works at his/her own rhythm while being encouraged to take on increasingly advanced exercises. Bad posture and stiff muscles can lead to chronic pain; when the body compensates for loss of flexibility it does not function as well. In addition to the strengthening exercises, our training includes exercises for flexibility; the different ways of gripping the table and the height of the Fitness Table allows for extended stretching.

"Fitness Table has helped me immensely as an elite level speed skater in recovering from a serious back injury”

Sarah Gregg, Speedskater

YOU'LL FEEL IT WORK YOUR VERY FIRST TIME!
We get to the core muscles other workouts never reach!


Love the classes. Top instruction. Great program

Fitness Table has been a big part of my medical rehab from abdominal surgeries. Being a pro golfer the core activation is extremely important for the swing and training at the Fitness Table has made me stronger than ever in the core area, and now after major swing changes I am now ready to contend on tour! I will continue to come to class when I am in town. I truly enjoy it I can highly recommend Fitness Table to anyone seeking better posture, core strength/stability and great workouts
Louise Stahle, Professional golfer, LPGA Tour

I have seen great results with my elite athletes.

Great program for elite athletes. Increased in size and strength. I could see the results in the lab through tests done by occupational therapy.
Bart Schouten, Coach, Speedskating Canada Team

Nothing short of incredible

After about 6 months...the physical results that I have obtained in that short time frame are nothing short of incredible. I am stronger mentally, through the core and overall body, my posture and flexibility have improved greatly and my continual pain demon is all gone. I have not been able to obtain this type of progress anywhere else and I was truly at a point of giving up.
Erica Yorga

I was able to heal a recurring hip flexor injury because of the Fitness Table

As a speed skater sprinter, I need my hips, glutes and hamstrings to be working together. I was able to heal a recurring hip flexor injury because of the Fitness Table program and 2013 was my best year yet!
Danielle Wotherspoon-Gregg, Long Track Speed Skater Sprinter

I can generate more power

The Fitness Table program definitely made me more stable. Core stability is really important for my sport; it helped the connection between upper and lower body so I can generate more power. The exercise program really seems easy but it isn't. It does much more than you think it will. You can work as hard as you can and get a lot more out of it in comparison to other programs that seem very hard but don't really do that much.
Jamie Gregg, Speedskater

Best workout I've ever had

I feel stretched out, stronger, taller and longer. Best workout I've ever had!
Diane Heming, School Principal

Better results that all other combined types of treatments for my chronic pain

I am a long time runner with no flexibility. I have had low back problems the last few years that have seriously curtailed other activities I enjoy. I have tried physiotherapy, chiropractic sessions, massage therapy and acupuncture, all with varying results but none with significant relief. I have been attending The Fitness Table classes on a regular basis for only three months and the results, I think, are better than all the treatments combined. Although the workouts are group sessions, the individual attention we each get from the instructors is remarkable as is their knowledge and understanding of our unique needs and limitations. My only regret is in not doing this years ago.
Jamie Polley, Lawyer
