Our Story

Leaner, Fitter and Stronger with more time to do what you love.

Breaking Free from Conventional Fitness Myths

Like many, I once believed the “more is better” philosophy of fitness, the five-day-a-week grind, endless reps, no days off. The result? Constant fatigue, nagging injuries and little to show for all the effort. I was training harder than ever, yet my body wasn’t getting leaner or stronger.

When progress stalled, I did what most people do, I doubled down. I pushed harder, ate less and drove myself into a metabolic tailspin that left me drained and frustrated. Eventually, I saw two paths: keep grinding myself into the ground, or give up entirely, like so many who walk away from exercise out of pain or discouragement.

Still, I couldn’t shake the question: Is there a better way?  That curiosity sent me searching through the science of strength training, where I discovered Arthur Jones, the revolutionary mind behind Nautilus, and Ken Hutchins, creator of the SuperSlow method. Their work confirmed what I had sensed all along: exercise isn’t about how much you do—it’s about how well you do it.

“It all started because I knew there had to be a better way.”

In 1997, armed with that insight, I opened InForm Fitness in a 300-square-foot basement with just five used machines. Within months, my so-called “radical” workout was featured on the front page of The New York Times science section. Word spread quickly, and in 2003, I co-authored Power of 10: The Once-a-Week Fitness Revolution—a New York Times bestseller that helped put this method on the map.

But I wasn’t just building a business—I was building a framework. Years of study and real-world experience evolved into what we now call The InForm Method: a smarter, safer, once-a-week workout that delivers maximum results in minimum time.

Today, InForm Fitness continues that mission—helping people reclaim strength, confidence, and time through a simple truth: when exercise is done right, it doesn’t have to take over your life.

Our approach is simple, do less but do it better…

FAQs

Is Each Session Only 20-Minutes Long?

Yes, it really is! The exercise itself will take approximately 20-minutes.

Will I Get Results By Training Only 20 minutes Once Or Twice A Week?

Absolutely. It’s normal to be skeptical, but so were many of our best case studies, and here’s why: many of us still equate more with better. This is a fallacy. To stimulate positive change, workouts need to be brief (no more than twenty minutes) and infrequent (no more than twice per week).

When training at high intensity (necessary to provide an effective growth stimulus), the body can tolerate only a limited volume and frequency. Training too long or too often can lead to a stagnation of progress, injury, and/or illness.

Should I Refrain From Doing Any Other Type Of Exercise?

You should refrain from doing more high-intensity exercise, otherwise you risk over-training which can lead to injury and even slow down your results. However, we want you to enjoy whatever recreational pursuits your heart desires. We provide the exercise you need so you can live the life you want.

How Soon Should I Expect To See Results?

Right from your first workout, your body’s biology is being pushed to change for the better. Many clients report the feeling of ‘something’s happening’ within the first two to three weeks of the program. By week six, you should feel stronger, have less overall fatigue, and your aches and pains should be lessened. Within 12 weeks, most people start to see the physical changes in their bodies.

A total body transformation may take more time. In most cases, this requires fat loss, which in turn, requires dietary changes. We’ll help guide you there, too. No amount of exercise or spin classes will make up for lack of a nutrition strategy.

The combination of whole food, low-glycemic nutrition and high-intensity training at InForm Fitness is the one-two punch you need for a complete body makeover!

What Can I Do To Improve My Results?

Nutrition and rest. Eat real food and nourish the body with essential nutrients. Also, be sure to get at least seven hours of sleep per night. Your body repairs and restores at a cellular level during sleep. Exhaustion affects your immune system and goes into overdrive thus leading to chronic inflammation.

How Does A Consultation Work?

The InForm Fitness consultation is an opportunity for you to sit down with one of our professionally certified Instructors and discuss the workout in greater detail. The Consultation is also our chance to learn more about your goals and experience, give you an opportunity to ask any questions and offer you a taste for the workout. All total, your first visit may take an hour. After that, you will be in and out the door in less than 30 minutes.

Must I Have A Personal Trainer at InForm Fitness?

Yes. Each workout is conducted under the close supervision and guidance of a highly trained Instructor, ensuring that you’re maintaining proper form for your safety.

At InForm Fitness, you never have to worry about setting up the machines or charting your progress. Our Instructors are responsible for designing the workout, setting up the machines, and motivating you through the tough and final repetitions of each exercise, and all the while keeping your chart updated.

What Can I Expect in Each Workout?

Your Instructor will guide you through five to seven, sometimes eight, different strength-training exercises that will give you an intense full-body workout.

Is Training Once A Week Enough?

The InForm Fitness Power of 10 workout is engineered for maximum impact. Just one or two sessions a week—paired with proper recovery—are all it takes to build meaningful strength and lasting results. How often you train, once or twice a week depends on a variety of factors, including your age, training intensity, lifestyle, physical condition, and personal goals. Either way, recovery is non-negotiable. It’s during rest that your muscles grow stronger and your body adapts. And here’s what usually happens: once you start feeling the difference—greater strength, higher energy, less pain—you’ll be motivated to keep going. Not because you have to, but because it works.
