What To Wear : your workout will be much for productive and comfortable if you dress appropriately. Lightweight, breathable clothing is best for exercising. Anything from shorts and your favorite cotton t-shirt to tank tops and cotton lycra exercise-gear will do. Remember, comfort is the name of the game. The more comfortable you feel exercising - the more likely it will be that you will continue with your workout program. Forget the image of svelt models working out in skin-tight apparel. Dress intelligently and comfortably. Quality, supportive sneakers are also required. If you would like to discuss the proper footwear for your particular workout - please feel free to consult with a Future Shapes trainer. We are happy to assist you with making your workout as easy and as comfortable as possible!

Child-Friendly Gym:
Newton: Although your workout should be a time of focused concentration on yourself and your activities we know that it is not always possible to arrange for a baby-sitter. Although Future Shapes does not provide child-care services, our gym is equipped with a designated space for children that includes a "kid's table" and Video viewing area. Please remember that you are respsonsible for your child at all times while in the gym.

Wellesley: The Fitness Club For Women offers child care with wonderful instructors to ensure a safe and enjoyable time for your children.

Fuel for Exercising: We recommend eating a light meal or a small snack approximately 1 hour before training. Fruit or protein are always good choices. We also recommend drinking before, during and after each workout. Our gym is equipped with a filtered water station and you can always bring a water bottle to use throughout your training session.

Extra Bonus Workout!:
Included in the cost of each individual training session is the use of our gym for cardio workouts (treadmills, ellipticals, etc) and stretching. You are welcome to some in 30 minutes prior to your workout and stay 30 minutes after workout. Clients who are working out with Future Shapes trainers have priority use of the cardio equipment. Please be aware and courteous to those who are training. You are responsible for your own safety when using the cardio machine and stretching before or after any workout.
