Gym Updates

What is your health worth to you?

I know everything in life is more expensive, and it feels like prices increase daily. Just since the last gym updates our garbage, internet service, and website hosting have all unexpectedly increased. All of these increases while service and the overall quality of life seemingly decrease around us. I think LightHouse breaks that mold and try to continue to provide a high value service. The problem is the economics of high value, low cost does not work. For reference a comparable product to us (co-ed weightlifting gym, found in larger markets) is at or above $400 a month depending on their market. In general, boutique fitness (Pilates, F45, etc.) is over $20 a session, and often closer to $30 a session.

What is your health worth to you?

Many of you are in the best shape of your life, some decades after you started working out. If you have been here longer than 3 months and don’t feel like you are in the best shape of your life, or on your way to it, let’s talk. I’ll put a link below to schedule a meeting so we can discuss your progress. I do truly mean the best shape of your life for strength and conditioning. Even though we do not run or do conditioning you are all capable of it with some specific training. Let’s say you want to run a half marathon, you’d clearly need to do some distance running training but your strength foundation is what would allow you to get though that training, and likely without discomfort or injury. You put in the work to get there and the program allowed you to get that confetti. Progress can feel slow at times but follow the plan and reflect on it once in a while and see where you have gone.

here is a lot I’d like to say but I’ll mall business is difficult, we are definitely not where we hoped we would be at this point. As we come up on year 3 here in Surf City we need to make some adjustments in an effort to improve business metrics. We want to grow and be able to provide you with this service for many years to come. We want to employ more people and be able to invest in their growth. We want to be able to provide this service to ladies beyond the Surf City area. We really want to keep as many people out of the sick care system as possible, and we can’t currently do that where we are as a business right now.

Updates:

Effective June 1st programming will be for 3 sessions per week and 6 lifts per week. Weightlifting sessions will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday / Saturday.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday will be for additional offerings - more on that below.

Weightlifting sessions will be 2 lifts per session.

New Programming Schedule:

Monday - Back Squat & Strict Press
Wednesday - Bench Press & Back (Row / RDL / ETC)
Friday - Deadlift & Variable Lift (Any lift relevant to progress in strength training.)

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday will be available for Personal Training, Advanced Skills Sessions, HYROX Training, and Onboarding new clients.

Personal Training can be both for new clients and current clients looking for more hands on attention.

Advanced Skills Sessions are for our intermediate to advanced athletes looking for even more results, or targeted help for any fitness related goals outside of the gym. Advanced Skills Sessions are 1-on-1 training with video filming and form analysis. Your film review will be accompanied by instructional tips, and points to focus on while in class, or practicing on your own. If you have hit a plateau this is a good option for you to explore.

HYROX Training will now be offered at LightHouse. In an attempt to expand our market we are becoming a HYROX Training Club. Google HYROX for more details, but to oversimplify it HYROX = conditioning. HYROX will run in 8 week sessions. HYROX training is not just for those who want to participate in a HYROX race. The HYROX training program will be a great way to get some cardio into your fitness routine.
