Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What is Alpha Fit Club?

Alpha Fit Club is a group fitness experience where every workout is led by a certified coach. We blend strength and conditioning into one challenging, scalable class — and wrap it in a community we call the Pack. It's built for people who want real coaching and real results, not a crowded gym floor where you're left on your own.

What makes Alpha different from other group fitness gyms?

Three things: every class is actively coached (not just "press play"), every coach is Alpha-certified to the same standard at every studio, and you're part of the Pack from day one. We keep classes small so you get real attention, and our programming is built to keep moving you forward instead of repeating the same workout.

Do I need to be in shape already? Is it beginner-friendly?

Not at all — our classes are built for every level. Coaches scale every movement up or down, so a first-timer and a seasoned athlete can train side by side and both get exactly what they need. You don't get in shape to start at Alpha; you start at Alpha to get in shape.

Is my first class free? How do I try Alpha?

Yes it is ! The easiest way to start is to book your intro through our website or the Alpha Fit Club app, and we'll take care of you from there.

What happens on my first visit?

Arrive at least 15 minutes early and a member of our team will greet you, show you around, and walk you through the format and equipment before class. The coach will run the class through a demo of the workout so you know what to expect at each station (don’t worry, if you forget the workout, there are TV’s at each station to show you what to do!) Then the coach will lead you through a warm up to get your body ready to work, you will then jump into the workout where everything is scaled to your level. After the class, you will chat with a team member to plan your next visit.

What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable workout clothes, athletic training shoes, a water bottle, and a towel.

The Workout

What is a typical Alpha Fit Club class like, and how long is it?

A typical Alpha class runs 60 minutes and combines strength and conditioning into one coached session. Expect a coach-led warm up, followed by 6 stations, typically 6 minutes each which will incorporate both strength and conditioning movements in one efficient hour workout. The class will end with a cool down and a stretch session before you go out and attack the rest of your day.

Does the workout change daily?

Yes - our programming progresses in four week cycles so every workout builds on the next, giving you the opportunity to come every day (if you want) and get a variety of movements that all help you get stronger and more confident. The workouts build week over week, month over month so you have goals to work towards and can stay motivated.

How many days a week should I come?

Most members see great results training 3–4 days a week. If you're brand new, start with 2–3 and take a rest day between classes for your first couple of weeks — your coach can help you find the right rhythm.

Can the workout be modified for injuries, pregnancy, or fitness level?

Definitely. Every movement can be modified, and our coaches adjust for injuries, pregnancy, and all fitness levels — just give your coach a heads-up before class.

‍

Will I see results — and how soon?

With consistency, most members start feeling stronger and more energized within a few weeks, with visible changes following as it becomes a habit. The coaching and community keep you showing up long enough to see real, lasting results — we don't promise overnight miracles, we build progress that sticks.

Coaching & Class Size

Who teaches the classes, and what are their qualifications?

Every Alpha class is led by an Alpha-certified coach. They complete our internal certification — the same movement standards, assessments, and ongoing development — so you get expert, consistent coaching in every class and at every location.

Will the coach actually help me with my form?

Yes — that's the whole point of Alpha. Your coach actively watches your form, gives cues, and helps you adjust in real time. Because classes are small, you get hands-on attention you won't find pressing play in a big-box gym.

How many people are in a class?

Classes are intentionally small — 4-6 members per group, 24-36 members per class — so your coach can give everyone real attention and keep the energy high. It's the sweet spot between a packed class and a private session.

Membership & Pricing

What membership options do you offer?

We offer options ranging from unlimited memberships to class packs and single drop-ins, so you can pick what matches how often you want to train. Your studio team can help you choose the best fit.

How much does membership cost?

Pricing varies by studio and membership type. The best way to get exact pricing is the Alpha Fit Club app or your home studio — and be sure to ask about our intro offer to start.

Is there a contract or long-term commitment?

We aim to keep it flexible. Your studio team will walk you through the specifics before you commit.

Can I freeze, hold, or pause my membership?

Yes — if you're traveling or dealing with an injury, you can request to pause. Just reach out to your studio and we'll set it up. Memberships may be frozen for a minimum period of two (2) weeks, subject to approval, for documented medical conditions, injuries, or other approved circumstances. All freeze requests must be submitted in writing and approved by Alpha Fit Club in advance. In no instance shall a Freeze apply retroactively. During an approved freeze, billing and access are suspended, and the membership term will be extended by the duration of the freeze.

Freeze provisions do not apply to credit packs. Payments shall resume upon the expiration of your Freeze. Your Membership Expiration Date (as that term is indicated in your Membership Agreement) will be extended by the amount of time of your Freeze."

How do I cancel my membership?

You can cancel by contacting your home studio; we ask for 30 days notice before your next billing cycle. No hard feelings — we'd rather make it easy and earn you back later.

Can I use my membership at more than one Alpha studio?

Our VIP membership offers additional member perks, such as discounted drop ins at other AFC locations. Check out membership options on the Alpha Fit Club app or send a message to your home studio for more information.

Do you offer family, student, military, first-responder, or corporate rates?

We offer select membership discounts may be offered at participating studios. Reach out to your local studio to see what you may qualify for. Reach out to your studio to see what you qualify for.

Booking, Scheduling & Policies

How do I book a class?

Book through the Alpha Fit Club app or our website — create an account, pick your class and time, and reserve your spot. The app is also where you check in, manage your reservations, and redeem your member reward points as well as track your performance.

What is your cancellation, late-cancel, and no-show policy?

Please cancel at least 8 hours before class so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot. Late cancels or no-shows may forfeit the class or incur a fee, so manage your bookings in the app.

Is there a waitlist if a class is full, and how does it work?

Yes — if a class is full, add yourself to the waitlist in the app. If a spot opens before the cutoff, you'll be moved in automatically and notified, so keep your notifications on.

Can I still join if I show up a few minutes late?

For everyone's safety, we ask you to arrive on time — coaches cover the demo and the warm-up at the start, and station one has begun.

The Pack (Community)

What is "the Pack" and what's the community like?

The Pack is our community — and it's the heart of Alpha. From your first class, coaches and members know your name and have your back. It's the reason people keep showing up: you're not working out alone, you're training with people who become friends.

Do you host events, challenges, or socials?

Yes — we run fitness competitions, social events, holiday parties and more, throughout the year to keep things fun and connected. Your studio will keep you posted on what's coming up.

Can I bring a friend or guest? Is there a referral program?

Absolutely — bringing a friend is one of the best parts of Alpha. Ask your studio about how to get your friend booked and our referral program.

How does Alpha keep me motivated and track my progress?

We celebrate your milestones, keep friendly leaderboards, and your coach checks in on your progress along the way. You'll always know how far you've come — and we'll be cheering you on.

Studios, Amenities & Access

Where are your studios located?

We're growing across NJ, CT, PA, NY, and FL. Check the Alpha Fit Club app or our website's location page for current studios and ones opening soon near you.

Do you have parking, showers, lockers, and changing rooms?

This varies by studio but most of our studios have showers. Every studio has changing areas and cubbies for your belongings that are safe and secure.

Do you offer childcare during classes?

No we do not.

Are your studios accessible?

We want everyone to beable to train with us — reach out to your studio ahead of time and we'll makesure you're set up for access and any assistance you need.

Is there a minimum age to take classes?

Members must be at least 18 years old.

New & Upcoming Studios (Presale)

I heard a studio is opening near me — how do I find out more and when it opens?

Follow your local studio on social media and join our list through the website — we'll keep you posted on the opening date and presale details for your area.

What is presale, and what do I get for joining before a studio opens?

Presale is your chance to join before a studio officially opens — and founding members get our best perks. It's the best deal we'll ever offer at that location.

Is presale pricing different from regular membership?

Yes — presale/founding-member pricing is typically a discounted rate for your first year of membership. There are a limited number of founding memberships available.

When will my new studio actually open?

Opening timelines can shift as we build out the space, but presale members are the first to know — we'll keep you updated every step and let you know the moment class booking opens.

I feel like a total badass after every class.
