How much does a personal trainer cost in St. Maarten?
It depends on the package and how often you train. Message us with your goal and we’ll send you the options.
I’m a complete beginner. Is personal training for me?
Especially for you. A coach teaches you the basics safely, builds your confidence on every machine and gives you a plan you can follow.

Yes. Our body composition scan measures 36 health and fitness metrics — including body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, body water and basal metabolic rate — for $25 (NAf 44.75) per session, and members get a free scan on their birthday. Ask a member of our team.
How often should I train with a coach?
Most people start with two or three sessions a week, then train on their own in between with the program their coach wrote.
Can you help with nutrition?
Our team knows training and nutrition, and the Solis Smoothie Bar makes hitting your protein easy.

What are Normatec compression boots?
Leg sleeves that inflate and release in waves, from your feet up. Athletes use them after hard sessions to help their legs feel fresh again.
Why does recovery matter?
Training breaks you down; recovery is when you come back stronger. Sleep, nutrition and simple recovery work help you train consistently.
What is HYROX?

Who should not use the scanner?
Anyone with a pacemaker or another implanted electronic medical device, and pregnant women. The scan is for fitness tracking, not a medical diagnosis.

Every 4–8 weeks is a good rhythm to see real changes in fat and muscle.
