WHO SHOULD BOOK A KICKSTART SESSION?
Anyone who is unfamiliar with the ARC equipment and facility, feeling intimidated to come into the ARC, or wants to learn about our equipment to become an independent exerciser. 

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM PERSONAL TRAINING?
During your Kickstart Session, you will be introduced to the ARC equipment and basic movements. The session will not include a full workout and does not come with any exercise prescription / program designs. If you're looking for prescribed and supported workouts, please consider Personal Training

WHERE CAN I PURCHASE & BOOK KICKSTART SESSIONS?
Kickstart Sessions can be purchased online after completing the Kickstart Session Intake Form. Proof of purchase must be sent to at personal.trainer@queensu.ca in order to book your session.
