Training & Getting Started

What if I have injuries or physical limitations?

We work around limitations and often help improve them. Your coach modifies exercises and adjusts intensity to fit what your body can do that day.

Note: We're not medical professionals. For serious injuries, we recommend working with your doctor or physical therapist first, then we'll help you train within those guidelines.

What does "science-backed" training mean?

We base our training on proven principles from exercise science, not trends or guesswork. Our programming is informed by research from experts like:

  • Dr. Andy Galpin - Exercise physiology and performance
  • Dr. Mike Israetel - Hypertrophy and programming science
  • Dr. Brad Schoenfeld - Muscle hypertrophy and resistance training research

This means we focus on what actually works: progressive overload, proper recovery, individualized programming, and consistent execution.

Do I need experience with strength training to start?

No experience necessary. We work with everyone from complete beginners to experienced lifters. Your program will be scaled to your current ability level, and we'll teach you proper form from day one. The only requirement is being willing to learn and put in the work.

Commitment & Flexibility

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No long term contracts. AutoPay memberships bill every 4 weeks with no minimum commitment. You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice by emailing info@theweightrm.com. See our Membership Policies for rollover, pausing, and plan changes.

Can I change my plan?

Yes. You can move up or down a plan at any time, and the change takes effect on your next billing date. Email info@theweightrm.com.

What happens to AutoPay sessions I don't use?

Unused sessions roll over automatically. You can hold up to one cycle's worth of rollover sessions at a time (8, 12, or 16 depending on your plan). They expire 2, 3, or 4 months after they roll over, depending on your plan. See our Membership Policies for details.

Can I pause my AutoPay membership?

Yes. If you are traveling, sick, or injured, you can pause for up to 4 weeks, twice in any 12 months. Email info@theweightrm.com before your next billing date. Billing and new sessions stop while you are paused. See our Membership Policies for details.

What if I travel a lot?

AutoPay is built to work around travel. Unused sessions roll over, so a week away does not cost you sessions. For longer trips you can pause for up to 4 weeks, twice in any 12 months. If your schedule changes for a longer stretch, you can move down a plan starting on your next billing date. If you are away more often than that, talk to your coach and we will find the right fit.

What if I fall behind on my sessions?

Your unused sessions roll over, so you can book extra sessions in the Clubworx app to use them. If you often end a cycle with sessions left, moving down a plan is usually the better fix. Pausing is for travel, illness, or injury.

What happens when I cancel?

Email info@theweightrm.com with 30 days notice. Any billing date inside those 30 days is charged as usual, and your membership ends at the end of your last paid cycle. Unused sessions, including rollover sessions, stay available until that date.

I joined before October 5, 2026. Do these terms apply to me?

No. Members who joined before October 5, 2026 keep their original terms, including if they change plans. We will email you before anything changes.

How far ahead do I need to book or cancel a session?

Sessions can be booked in the Clubworx app up to one month ahead and no later than 6 hours before the session starts. You can cancel a booked session up to 12 hours before it starts. Cancellations inside 12 hours and no shows are charged as a full session. Illness is the only exception, so please reach out to us at info@theweightrm.com if you are sick.

Who are the coaches?

The Weight RM is owned and operated by coaches Clayton and Antonio, with Coach Zack coaching sessions alongside them.

Read their bios on our Coaches page.

What should I bring to my first session?

  • Comfortable workout clothes - Something you can move freely in
  • Athletic shoes - Flat-soled or barefoot-style shoes work best for lifting
  • Water bottle - Stay hydrated during your session

Tip: We recommend flat-soled shoes like Converse, Vans, or barefoot-style trainers for better stability during lifts. Check our Product Recommendations for specific shoe options.

What's included in the complimentary consultation?

A 30-minute conversation with one of our coaches, in person at our Torrance gym. No workout required. We'll cover your history, goals, limitations, and schedule, then give you an honest recommendation.

Book your consultation

Do you offer body composition scans (InBody)?

Yes. We offer InBody body composition scans to track your progress with objective data including body fat percentage, muscle mass, and more.

InBody Scan Pricing:

  • Non-members: $50 per scan
  • Members: $25 per scan
  • Active AutoPay members: Unlimited scans at no additional cost

If your AutoPay membership is paused, unlimited InBody access is paused too and returns when billing resumes.

To schedule an InBody scan, contact us during your session or reach out through our contact page.

Gym Culture

What's the gym culture like?

Our philosophy: "Control the Controllables."

We're about:

  • No hype, no gimmicks - Just honest coaching and proven methods
  • Consistency over motivation - Show up and do the work, even when you don't feel like it
  • Earned recognition - Results come from effort and discipline, not participation trophies
  • Direct communication - We'll give you honest feedback to help you improve
  • Serious but supportive - We work hard, but we're in it together

If you're ready to be coached and put in the work, you'll fit right in.

Is this gym right for me if I'm not super athletic?

Yes. Most of our members aren't athletes. Athleticism isn't a requirement — showing up consistently is. Your program is designed for your current ability, and we'll progress you systematically from there.
