Take a virtual tour of Arenal Fitness – click here
Arenal (R-N-Nal) Fitness is a 24/7 access, 4800 square foot functional training facility that offers a variety of CrossFit group classes, personal training options, and General Memberships to all ages and demographics. The high energy training and programs that we teach in our facility inspired us to name ourselves after the active Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica.
When you walk into Arenal Fitness you will see some traditional pieces of cardiovascular and strength training equipment but will quickly notice that what we offer is more geared to free weight and functional movements. This is because we want to focus on exercises that will help you to function better in your everyday life. Why go to a gym and spend countless hours performing arm curls and leg extensions, which will never help you to pick your child off of the floor or easily get out of a chair when you can come to Arenal Fitness and learn movements that you can practically apply to your daily routine?
If you are used to a more traditional style of training, one of our trainers will be happy to take you through a complimentary demo workout for you to experience a true functional training workout.
We realize that functional training is somewhat of a new concept for many people. Our Basics program teaches you the “Basic” movements of functional training in order to ease your comfort into a new workout regimen.
We are a true a la carte fitness center where you simply pay for what you use. For example, if all you want to do is come in and workout on your own, you only have to pay for a General Membership. Likewise, if you only want to personal train or just take group classes, you only have to pay for those programs. There is not an enrollment fee nor is there a standing monthly fee in addition to our programs.
All of our personal trainers are independent contractors and set their own fees however, most of the hourly rates for personal training are standard. Personal training sessions are also a la carte. Clients are not obligated to commit to set packages such as 24 or 36 sessions. Clients can simply pick the number of sessions they’d like to pay for at one time and that is their “package”. Even though our trainers are independent contractors, all fees for Arenal Fitness programs and services are paid through our online billing system and retail store.
