YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY AT 
TFW EAST METRO STARTS HERE.

All our programs start with a simple complimentary first consultation with one of our certified fitness coaches.
At TFW East Metro, your first appointment isn’t just a consultation — it’s the start of something real.

This is where we get to know you — not just your fitness history, but your goals, your roadblocks, and what’s most important to you moving forward. No pressure. No judgment. Just a conversation with someone who’s here to help you win.

We’ll guide the process, but this journey? It’s yours to own. You bring the effort — we’ll bring the plan, the accountability, and a whole community behind you.

Get Clear on Where You’re At (and Where You Want to Go)

We’ll start by talking about what brought you here. Maybe you want more energy. Maybe it’s time to take control of your health. Or maybe you’re just ready to feel stronger in your own skin again.

Your coach will walk through your current fitness level, help you identify what’s holding you back, and set realistic, powerful goals you’re excited about.

Move, Assess, and Learn

You’ll go through a simple movement assessment and body composition analysis —  might sound like big words but it’s nothing crazy, just enough for us to see how your body’s moving, set a base line and where we need to focus.

We’ll look at strength, mobility, stability, and anything that might need extra attention to keep you training safely.

Everything is explained clearly and with purpose. We want you to understand your body — not just work it.

Your Custom Training Plan

Whether you're joining us for
1-on-1 sessions or working into a small group, your plan is built to help you feel better, move better, and train for life — not just for the mirror.

And if you need nutrition guidance? We’ve got that too — practical, personalized support from coaches who care.
