Sample Workouts
Introduction
For members with little or no experience with exercising or weight training, we suggest that you try some or all of these sample workouts. The sample workouts are intended just to help get you started; you should not feel obligated to follow these plans exclusively. After a few weeks, you will need to innovate your workouts. You don't want to get in to a rut! In order to maximize results and "shock" your muscles, you will need to change your workouts periodically. We suggest that you use a trainer to help you keep your workouts stimulating and productive. Visit our trainers page for more details.
Please remember to stretch before and after exercising, and to use proper form when doing any exercise. If you do not know how to stretch or use proper form, please schedule an appointment with one of our trainers. The trainers are not employed by Iron Bodies Gym. They are independent contractors who charge their own fees. You negotiate their fees directly with them, not with gym management. Please see our trainers page for a brief background and general price list for each trainer. Remember, the prices listed are not firm quotes; you should just use them as a reference when negotiating with the trainers.
