An open gym gives you space and equipment to follow your own workout. Coached training adds a planned session and someone to guide your exercises, effort and progression. When choosing between them in Scottsdale, consider which decisions you’re comfortable making yourself.

You may enjoy planning your workouts and training on your own schedule. Or you may arrive at the gym with plenty of motivation, then spend twenty minutes deciding what to do.

Is an open gym right for you?

If you already have a program, understand the exercises and know how to adjust your training, an open gym may fit your routine.

If you regularly wonder which exercises to choose, how much weight to use or when to change the plan, coaching can give you direction. Think about where you tend to get stuck and ask how a program would address it.

What does coached training include?

At proof3 Salt River, our process connects an assessment, an individualized plan, small-group training and reassessment. Your coach uses information about your starting point to guide adjustments during sessions.

That means you can ask questions while you train and discuss how the work relates to your goals. Reassessment provides another opportunity to review what has changed and where to focus next.

Do you want to train with a group?

Our small-group format also gives you people to train with. Shared effort, conversation and familiar faces can make a scheduled session something you look forward to.

Consider an ordinary week: Do you want flexibility to train independently, or would you welcome a planned session with coaching and a group? Choose the setup you’re likely to use.
