ADULT FITNESS & WELLNESS TRAINING FAQs

Physical well-being encompasses both health and fitness, particularly highlighting one's capacity to engage in sports, work-related tasks, and routine activities. Achieving such a state of fitness hinges on not just consistent physical exercise but maximizing that exercise to make it efficient and healthy. We not only want quick and sustainable gains that obtain our client's goals for their conditioning and physiques, but we want our clients to maintain pain-free bodies that move well for life.

Appropriate recovery, adequate rest, and balanced nutrition, alongside a holistic approach that includes mental and social well-being also form the core of our philosophy on how fitness and well-being are symbiotically related.

Comprehensive fitness regimens, tailored to individual needs and encompassing aerobic and anaerobic capacities, not only enhance physical well-being but also support mental health by alleviating anxiety and depression symptoms. Furthermore, regular physical activity plays a crucial role in preventing chronic conditions related to sedentary lifestyles and aging, underscored by research that positions the musculoskeletal muscle as an endocrine organ releasing myokines during exercise, promoting tissue growth, repair, and reducing inflammation. All of which helps to control blood pressure, prevent cancer, reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, control weight, and lead to better sleep.

Functional training focuses on exercises that are rooted in the motions of daily life and can be adapted to individual needs, emphasizing movements over isolated muscle work. Originating in rehabilitation, it's applied in both fitness and therapeutic contexts to enhance everyday activity performance, from professional sports to basic functions. It utilizes a variety of equipment that allows for complex, multi-plane movements. Our comprehensive functional training program integrates diverse elements such as movement, mobility, flexibility, balance, core stability, strength and conditioning, and recovery and is personalized, progressive, and context-specific, with a strong emphasis on feedback during exercises.

For beginners, full-body workouts that focus on compound movements (like squats, lunges, push-ups) are best, as they target multiple muscle groups, improving overall strength and endurance efficiently. Aim to exercise at least 2–4 times a week, with a mix of cardio and strength training to balance workout intensity and allow for recovery.

Remember that correct form is vital to achieving results and avoiding injury. Warm-ups that not only encourage blood flow but that also focus on muscle and joint decompression are also important, as are recovery routines that help flush out muscles of built up acids and any compression from the workout itself.

You should always feel good after a workout and in the following days. If your workouts are making your body ache, move poorly, or in any way feel off, it is important to reassess your program and consult a professional if you are exercising on your own without the help of a coach.

If you have a health condition, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any exercise program. They can offer guidance tailored to your specific needs and conditions, ensuring that your fitness journey is safe and effective. We have a community of trusted providers to whom we can refer you.

Once you have been cleared by a medical professional, we have extensive experience dealing with a range of health conditions in our clients, and tailoring programs that allow them to improve their fitness and wellness while adjusting for their unique needs.

We offer classes throughout the day and evenings during the week, and in the morning on Saturdays. Please give us a call today to find out about our current classes and schedule.

Prices depend on frequency and commitment. The more classes or sessions per week and the longer the commitment, the lower the price. We also have discounts when nutrition and/or massage are included.

We understand the initial hesitations one might have—whether it's concerns about cost or being hesitant about commitment—but like so many of our adult fitness & wellness clients have attested, they've gotten exceptional value and are glad they joined.

Please call us today to find out about our current rates.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had an outstanding experience working with Athlete Ready over the years. They have played a major role in helping our program develop stronger, faster, and more resilient athletes, with a strong emphasis on injury prevention. Their approach is innovative, structured, and incredibly motivating for our players. This past year, after finishing 4–6 for three consecutive seasons, we partnered closely with them to build a more intentional strength and conditioning program. The results spoke for themselves, we improved to 7–3 and made a run to the semifinals. Athlete Ready has been a huge part of our success, and their commitment to developing athletes both physically and mentally sets them apart. I highly recommend them to any program looking to take the next step.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In 2023 I was referred to Veronica Castillo for nutrition help. I thought that would simply be her telling me what to eat. We had a call every week. Veronica quickly taught me there is much more to nutrition than cutting calories. I have struggled with my weight since I was a kid, which lead to be being a diabetic in adult life. Veronica didn’t just hand out a meal plan. She asked me lots of questions like what foods do you like, what foods do you dislike, what do you struggle with when it comes to food, what stressors trigger eating? She asked about my work and home life and how those affected my eating. Once she had the information, then we started working on different simple things such as increasing protein and eating whole food which is most of what you hear. Simple, right? Of course, it was easier said than done. I had to overcome myself sabotaging myself. Veronica patiently kept asking me questions which forced me to do some serious self-evaluations for what I was doing to hurt my progress. Fast forward to November 2025. Just before Thanksgiving she issued a challenge-don’t let the “holiday season” sabotage me so I would not have to start again in January. I accepted the challenge. In addition, I decided to cut sodas and sugary coffee drinks from my life which was a huge change. I did super good eating well in November and December. January rolled around and I lost exactly 0.1 pound! Instead of getting discouraged, I listened to Veronica. She suggested a food sensitivity test to see what foods were causing inflammation leading to the lack of weight loss. I had my blood drawn and found out I had sensitivity to peanuts, cashews, and dairy with a slight sensitivity to beef. Although it was hard, I trusted what I was taught and I gave up those things which I loved to help myself. Veronica said it would take about three months for the inflammation to go down. Last week I had another In Body scan done and I have lost 10 pounds since late January! I could not have made these life-changing decisions without the education, phycology and encouragement Veronica gave me. She does not like to take credit for the changes I have made, but she deserves it. For anyone struggling with their weight and all the problems that come with it, I highly recommend working with Veronica. It will not be easy, but you can accomplish it with the education she offers, her questions which lead to your self-evaluation to find the reasons for making excuses so you can overcome them. Most importantly, have patience which I learned through trusting in what Veronica taught me. I know I still have a way to go to get where I need to be before hitting maintenance weight, but I now have the skills, confidence in myself, and the support and encouragement provided by Veronica. Because she is humble, I know she won’t like me saying it, but I truly believe she saved my life. By the way, she’s also an Athletic Performance Coach! More on that to follow.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter started playing soccer later than average.  She was picked by a high level class b team because she was coachable.  We knew she needed extra training to catch up.  We trusted Jared and Athlete Ready to give her the proper intense training she needed.  Fast forward, and next we knew, she was offered a college scholarship and played four years of college soccer.  The individual attention and encouragement my daughter received definitely helped her earn a college athletic scholarship.  We are forever grateful for Athlete Ready!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give this place 100 stars I would! Ive been going to Athlete Ready since 2016. As a professional athlete this place has been a complete game changer for me. Not only have they helped me get stronger for my sport (Jiu-Jitsu) but they have also helped me heal any injuries that I have had through fighting and build my stress management capacity. This place is more than a "gym" it is a place that will teach you how to manage your stress that we all accumulate through day to day life. The coaches here are all around fantastic, not only are they highly skilled and professional but they are also truly invested in your success as an athlete and an individual! They will hold you accountable all while cheering you on and supporting you every step of the way. The community is welcoming, strong, uplifting, family friendly, positive, and motivating. It doesn't matter if you're completely new to exercise or if you're a pro, this place will help you countless ways. The facility is always clean, and the equipment is always in working order which is different from most other workout places or gyms. No matter what your goal is for coming, I highly recommend Athlete Ready. Among many other things, one thing I love is that they have an actual tried and true structure and path for progress. They aren't just giving you random exercises to make you feel "tired". They have a mapped out plan in place that is scientifically based, well thought through, easy to follow, fun and effective. Thank you Athlete Ready team for being a key figure in helping me win a black belt world championship in jiu jitsu in 2017 and for being a part of my success ever since then. You all are the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have grown up with the owner of Athlete Ready. Not only was he one of the best athletes I grew up with in one of Albuquerques most athletic generations, but he has built a company that is fully dedicated to helping athletes become their best selves as humans and athletes. I have also gotten to know the dietitian at the clinic who helped me learn to eat and change my relationship with food. She took the time to understand my struggles and my chronic health issues and she helped me build a plan to help me be the healthiest self I could be. She is a pure badass and she makes eating a lifestyle and helps you enjoy food. Going to Athlete Ready is an investment well worth it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had an amazing experience with AR over the past several years as they’ve trained my 15-year-old son, Jaden. He plays football, basketball, and runs track, and the difference in his strength, speed, and overall confidence has been incredible. The coaches do a great job of tailoring workouts that translate directly to his performance across all three sports. I’ve seen real improvements in his explosiveness on the field, agility on the court, and endurance on the track. More importantly, they’ve helped him build discipline, work ethic, and confidence that goes beyond sports. The environment is positive, motivating, and supportive, and it’s clear the coaches genuinely care about each athlete’s growth and success. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for my son and highly recommend Athlete Ready to any parent looking to invest in their athlete’s development!
