Frequently Asked Questions: 50+ Functional fitness
How can I make fitness classes fit into my busy schedule?
At Badlands, we have a wide range of our most popular fitness classess scheduled throughout the day including the lunch hour and evenings allowing you to easily stack movement into your week. Classes can run from 45mins to an hour and you are free to stay as long as your schedule allows - we're just glad you're here! Our change rooms offer showers and towels for you to freshen up before going back to work. We are also conveniently located just off of the #1 highway. Three turns and you're here!
Even short sessions make a big difference. Badlands offers express 20–30-minute classes morning, noon, and night — perfect for anyone balancing work, family, or shift schedules. Stack small sessions throughout the week to stay active, energized, and on track.
“I’m not fit enough; I feel too out of shape.”
That’s the perfect reason to start — your fitness only has to be better than yesterday.
Our programs scale to your level; many (if not all) classes are mixed-ability and coaches give easier progressions with modifications to accommodate injuries and personal limitations.
What if a gym environment feels intimidating?
Many people feel this way — but at Badlands we’ve built a welcoming community. Please check out our reviews and testimonials. People here are focused on feeling better, looking better and being better than the day before. Celebrate small wins! Some push themselves and we support that just as much as those members who are showing up and not keeping score. You'll see once you get here. Fear and any reservations turn into confidence quickly.
How do I stay consistent and motivated with fitness?
At Badlands, our fitness community keeps you engaged: coached classes, mini-challenges, and a roster of members who support each other. With unlimited classes under your membership, variety is built in — you’ll look forward to showing up.
