Question 1

What is Oak & Olive Small Group Fitness?

Accepted Answer

Oak & Olive Fitness offers small-group workouts in a peaceful, private backyard poolside setting in Gainesville, Texas. The goal is to provide an effective workout with more personal attention and a much more relaxed atmosphere than a crowded commercial gym.

Question 2

Who teaches the classes?

Classes are led by Heather, who brings more than 17 years of group fitness experience. She has been a certified Jazzercise instructor as well as a BodyPump and BodyCombat instructor.

Question 3

Classes are held at a private backyard location in Gainesville, Texas at 1008 Montrose Ave, Gainesville, TX.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes. All participants will be required to complete a fitness participation waiver before attending their first class.

Question 6

What makes the Oak & Olive experience different from a regular gym?

Accepted Answer

It’s designed to feel more like a boutique wellness retreat than a gym. In addition to the workout, you’ll enjoy a peaceful poolside atmosphere, small classes, motivating music, refreshing cucumber water, chilled essential-oil towels, and optional heated-spa recovery.

Question 7

What is the 7-7-7 Founding Member Special?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

How long is the program?

Accepted Answer

The Founding Member program runs for six weeks, with three scheduled classes each week for a total of 18 workouts.

Question 10

What should I expect at my first class?

Accepted Answer

Come ready to move, have fun, and enjoy a completely different kind of fitness experience. Heather will help you get comfortable with the workout and equipment, and after class you can cool down with cucumber water, a chilled towel, and an optional 15-minute heated-spa recovery.

Question 11

How large are the classes?

Accepted Answer

Classes are intentionally kept small. One of the biggest benefits of Oak & Olive Fitness is having fewer participants so Heather can provide more personal coaching, encouragement, and form guidance.

Question 12

How does the Prep’d High Protein Meals benefit work?

Accepted Answer

Members of the Founding 7 receive access to the special $7 participating meal coupon code from Prep’d High Protein Meals during the promotional period. It’s an easy way to pair your workouts with convenient, high-protein meals. Meal pick up is on Monday’s at the same location, so it makes it super easy to pick up your meals after class.

Question 13

What types of workouts will we do?

Accepted Answer

Classes will feature full-body fitness designed to improve strength, endurance, mobility, and overall conditioning. Workouts may incorporate dumbbells, bodyweight exercises, functional movements, and other equipment depending on the class.

Question 14

Do I need to bring workout equipment?

Accepted Answer

Oak & Olive will provide the primary equipment needed for class. Come dressed in comfortable workout clothing and supportive athletic shoes. If anything additional is needed for a particular session, you’ll be notified ahead of time.

Question 15

Do I have to use the heated spa?

Accepted Answer

No. The spa recovery period is an optional part of the Oak & Olive experience. Anyone who prefers to cool down without using the spa is welcome to do so.

Question 16

How do I reserve one of the seven Founding Member spots?

Accepted Answer

Use the Claim My Spot / Sign Up button on the Oak & Olive Fitness page. Because the 7-7-7 introductory offer is limited to only seven Founding Members for each session, registration is first come, first served.

Question 17

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

Because classes take place outdoors, weather may occasionally affect the schedule. Oak & Olive will communicate directly with members if a class needs to be delayed, canceled, or rescheduled due to unsafe weather conditions. We also have a fully stocked gym in our garage that classes may be moved to if necessary.

Question 18

Are the cold towels and cucumber water included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Refreshing cold cucumber water and chilled essential-oil-infused towels are part of the Oak & Olive post-workout experience and are included with your class.

Question 19

What if I have an injury or medical limitation?

Accepted Answer

Please let Heather know about any injuries, physical limitations, or accommodations before participating. Exercise modifications may be available when appropriate, but participants should consult their healthcare provider when needed before beginning a new exercise program.

Question 20

Do I need to already be in shape?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Classes are designed to accommodate a range of fitness levels. Heather can provide guidance and modifications when appropriate so you can work at a level that is challenging but manageable for you.

Question 21

How often are classes held?

Accepted Answer

There are 2 sessions with three classes each week: Monday evening - Session 1: 6:00 PM, Session 2 - 7:15 PM; Wednesday evening - Session 1: 6:00 PM, Session 2 - 7:15 PM; Saturday morning - Session 1: 8:00 AM, Session 2 - 9:15 AM.

Question 22

Question 23

Is there really spa recovery after class?

Accepted Answer

Yes! After each workout, participants have the option to enjoy a 15-minute heated spa recovery period to relax, unwind, and recharge. Spa recovery is completely optional.
