How the Free Consult and Assessment Works

A free fitness consultation is a conversation, not a tryout. At our Fond du Lac studio it runs about 30 to 45 minutes and centers on three simple things: what you want to change, what you have tried before, and where you are starting from. Coach Clay does most of the listening.

You do not have to be fit to come in, and you do not need to get in shape first. Most people who book are starting over or starting for the very first time, so there is nothing to feel self conscious about. The whole point is to figure out whether a coached program actually fits your life.

Think of it as a planning session. Even if you decide to train on your own afterward, you walk out knowing your baseline and a clear first move, which is more than most people ever get for free.

You can book by calling the studio at +1 (562) 253-2685 or by filling out the short form on our site. We meet at 8 Woodland Ave in Fond du Lac, and consults slot around our daily class times of 6 and 7am, 11am and noon, and 6 and 7pm, so you can find a window before work, over lunch, or after dinner.

Bring comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in, a bottle of water, and yourself. That is the whole list. You will not be doing a hard workout, but a few gentle movements are easier in clothes you can bend and stand in. Give yourself about an hour so nothing feels rushed.

Before we talk training, we run a short Health Gate screen. It is a simple set of questions about injuries, surgeries, medications, blood pressure, joint pain, and anything that tends to flare up when you move. It takes just a few minutes.

The Health Gate is not there to disqualify you. It helps us coach you safely and adjust movements so you are never pushed into something that hurts. If an answer raises a flag, we may ask you to get clearance from your physician before you start, and that is a normal, responsible step rather than a rejection.

White Gorilla Fitness focuses on strength, movement, and daily habits. We do not diagnose or treat any condition, so for anything medical your doctor is the right partner, and we are glad to coach alongside their guidance.

The last part of the visit is a simple progress assessment that sets your day 0 starting numbers. We do a weigh-in, a flexibility check like a sit-and-reach, a few measurements with a tape measure at the waist and hips, and a few easy functional movements such as a chair-stand to see how many you can do in good form.

None of this is pass or fail, and none of it is a body-fat measurement. It is just a real, written baseline. Six weeks later we repeat the same measurements, so your progress is compared against your own day 0 numbers instead of a guess. That is what makes the scoreboard honest.

A consult is not a sales trap, and we mean that. Our programs are one payment, with no membership, no auto-renewal, and no letter to cancel later. There is nothing to lock into on the spot, so there is no reason to corner you.

If a program is a good fit, Coach Clay will tell you what it costs and how it works, and you can think it over at home. If it is not a good fit, he will tell you that too. You can walk out any time, and plenty of people take a day or two to decide.

Come with a rough idea of what you want six weeks from now, even if it is simply to move easier or to lose some weight while keeping your muscle. A clear goal gives Coach Clay something concrete to build the plan around.

Bring your questions and your real schedule, including the busy weeks. The more honest you are about your time, your history, and your sticking points, the better the plan you walk out with. Folks drive in from Oshkosh, Waupun, Ripon, and Beaver Dam, so if you have a longer trip, book a time that fits your week rather than squeezing it in.
