The Free Intro Session
Six Things Included, Zero Dollars
01
Facility Tour
A full walk-through of Canada's first Arsenal Strength floor, cardio zone, free-weight area, and change rooms. You see exactly where you will be training.
02
Body Composition Assessment
Baseline measurements so you have a real reference point. Not a pitch. Just data that the trainer uses to design the right program.
03
Movement and Body-Awareness Screen
Range of motion, movement quality, obvious imbalances, posture. The trainer identifies what needs work before you load anything heavy.
04
Goals Consultation
What are you training for. Fat loss, muscle gain, strength, pain relief, sport, longevity, confidence. The trainer listens and frames a realistic path.
05
Guided Training
You do not just get talked at. The trainer walks you through fundamental exercises, cues your form, and teaches you the basics of how to train safely and effectively on the Fittopia floor.
06
Trainer Recommendation
At the end, the on-duty trainer recommends which specific Fittopia coach is the best fit for your goals, schedule, and language preference. You decide what to do next.
After the Free Intro
Three Clear Paths Forward
Path A
Option A: Book a $50 Trial Session
After the free intro, if you want to experience a full session with the trainer we recommended, you can book a single trial session for $50. One off. No package. No commitment. No membership. Decide after.
Path B
Option B: Buy a Package Directly
If you are ready to commit, standard packages start at $75 per session on the 48-session 3-Star pack and scale by trainer tier (3-Star to 6-Star) and pack size. Packages expire over 3 to 12 months so you train at your pace.
Path C
Option C: Walk Away with a Free Plan
If you are not ready for PT, you still leave with a movement assessment, a realistic starting plan, and knowledge of the fundamentals. No pressure, no strings.
Why This Is Unusual
Most Gyms Do Not Do This
PT Without a Gym Membership
Most gyms require a standalone membership before you can train with a personal trainer. Fittopia does not. You can train with a PT only. Add a membership later if you want independent access to the floor.
No Sales Pitch at the Intro
Trainers are not on commission to sell you a package during the intro. The session is genuinely about assessment, education, and matchmaking. The goal is that you leave informed, not sold to.
$50 Trial Is Real
A single session at $50 with no obligation to continue. Most gyms will not do this because it commits the trainer's time without guaranteed revenue. We do it because it is the cleanest way for you to know if the coach is right for you.
Frequently Asked
Free Intro and Trial, Answered
What is included in the free personal training intro session at Fittopia?
The complimentary 1-on-1 intro session at Fittopia Fitness Center includes a full facility tour, a body composition assessment, a movement and body-awareness screen, a goals consultation, guided training where the trainer teaches fundamental exercises, and a trainer recommendation for the best-fit coach for your goals. Duration is typically 60 to 90 minutes. There is no sales pressure and no obligation to buy a package afterward.
Is the free intro session really free?
Yes. The intro session is genuinely complimentary for every new Fittopia client. You will not be asked for a credit card. You will not be pitched a package mid-session. You leave with a real assessment and a clear next step whether or not you buy.
What is a $50 trial personal training session?
After the free intro, if you want to experience a full session with a specific trainer we recommended, you can book a single trial session for $50. It is a one-off, no commitment, no package, no membership required. It is designed to let you confirm the trainer is a fit before investing in a package.
Do I need a gym membership to train with a personal trainer at Fittopia?
No. Personal training at Fittopia Fitness Center does not require a standalone gym membership. You can train with a PT only. If you also want independent access to the gym floor outside your PT sessions, you can add a membership at that point. Most gyms gate PT behind a mandatory membership, Fittopia does not.
How much does a personal trainer cost in Richmond BC?
At Fittopia, PT packages start at $75 per session on the 48-session 3-Star trainer pack and scale up by trainer tier (3-Star to 6-Star) and pack size (12, 24, or 48 sessions). A $50 single trial session is available after the free intro. The free intro session itself is complimentary for every new client.
How long is the free intro session?
The free intro session typically runs 60 to 90 minutes. Enough time for a facility tour, assessment, movement screen, goals consultation, and a guided taste of actual training. You do not need to bring gym gear for the tour portion, but wearing training clothes is recommended for the movement screen and guided training.
What should I bring to the free PT intro session?
Wear training clothes and supportive athletic shoes. Bring a water bottle. No equipment needed, Fittopia provides everything. If you have a specific injury or medical condition, bring a short note on what it is and any guidance your doctor or physiotherapist has given.
Who is the best personal trainer at Fittopia?
Fittopia has a team of 16 certified personal trainers. The right match depends on your goals, history, and language preference. Top specialists include Rae Chang-Chien and Justin Li for transformations and muscle building, Daniel Dong for competition prep, Cherrie Chen for fat loss and posture (bilingual English and Mandarin), and several rehab-oriented coaches for pain relief. At the free intro, the on-duty trainer will understand your goals and recommend the best fit.
Can I book the free intro if I already have a gym membership somewhere else?
Yes. The free intro is open to anyone new to Fittopia personal training. You do not need to cancel your other membership or commit to anything at Fittopia. Many of our clients train independently elsewhere and come to Fittopia for PT, physio, or reformer Pilates specifically.
