Frequently asked questions.
1. What does M.A.R.S.H. stand for?
M.A.R.S.H. Fitness stands for Mobility, Accountability, Resistance Training, Sustainability, and Habits — the five pillars that actually create long-term results. No gimmicks, no quick fixes. Just consistent, intentional work that builds a body you can rely on.
2. What makes M.A.R.S.H. Fitness different from other gyms or trainers in Lebanon, TN?
We don’t sell memberships. We build people.
Every session is personalized, simple, and effective — focused on form, movement quality, and habits that last. You won’t see endless machines or flashy trends here, just results backed by structure, accountability, and a little bit of sweat equity.
3. What does “Strong. Simple. Sustainable.” mean?
It means exactly what it says.
Strong – physically and mentally.
Simple – no overcomplicated programs or 12-page diets.
Sustainable – because fitness shouldn’t fall apart the moment life gets busy.
We train for the long game.
4. How long will it take to see results?
That depends on how consistent you are. Most clients start feeling better within a few weeks and seeing changes within 6-8 weeks. We don’t chase overnight transformations — we build momentum that sticks.
5. I’m a beginner. Can I still train with you?
Absolutely. In fact, beginners usually make the fastest progress because every session teaches you something new. We start where you are, focus on mobility and form, and build up from there — safely, confidently, and without the ego-lifting.
6. Do you offer programs for injuries or limited mobility?
Yes. Many of our clients start here after injuries or physical therapy. We focus on controlled movement, stability, and strength that protects your body rather than punishes it. You don’t have to be “ready” — you just have to show up.
7. How do I book a session?
Easy — hit the Book a Session button at the top of the page or visit our Teamup calendar to see availability. Pick your time, confirm, and you’re set. First consults are free because we believe in earning trust before anything else.
8. How much does personal training cost?
Pricing depends on your goals and training frequency. We keep it simple — no hidden fees or contracts. Most clients invest between $65–$85 per session and train 2–3 times a week. Real results, real value.
9. What payment methods do you accept?
We keep it easy — card, cash, or digital payments through QuickBooks or Venmo.
No contracts. No hidden fees. Just consistent training and honest results.
10. What does it mean to train “sustainably”?
It means training in a way your future self will thank you for. Sustainable training balances effort with recovery, builds habits instead of dependence, and fits your life — not the other way around. No burnout, no “start over Monday.”
11. Do you help with nutrition?
Yes, but we keep it realistic. We don’t hand you a 30-item grocery list and a scale. We focus on simple, consistent nutrition habits that fuel your training and lifestyle. If it’s not sustainable, it doesn’t belong here.
12. Where is M.A.R.S.H. Fitness located?
We’re proudly based in Lebanon, Tennessee, serving the Wilson County community and surrounding areas. Whether you’re a local or nearby in Mt. Juliet or Nashville, you’re close enough to train with us.
13. Do you offer group training or events?
Yes — we run small-group sessions and community ruck & lift days. They’re fun, competitive, and a little painful (in the best way). Keep an eye on our Events or Team Sessions page for upcoming dates.
14. What kind of workouts do you focus on?
Our programming blends mobility, resistance training, and conditioning — the fundamentals that build strong, functional movement. Every plan is adapted to your ability and goals. It’s not random; it’s intentional.
15. Do you offer a free consultation?
Absolutely. Your first session is always free. It’s our way of saying, “Let’s make sure this fits.”
Book it now, come see the gym, and get a personalized plan to start moving forward.
16. How do I stay accountable between sessions?
That’s the “A” in M.A.R.S.H. — Accountability.
We track your workouts, habits, and progress together.
You’ll have check-ins, performance metrics, and honest conversations (the kind that keep you from ghosting your goals).
17. What’s your cancellation policy?
Life happens — we get it.
We just ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or reschedules.
That way we can keep things fair for everyone and fill your spot if needed.
18. Do you train couples or small groups?
Yes! Training with friends or your spouse can be a great way to stay consistent.
We offer small group sessions that keep the energy high and the technique sharp — without losing that personalized touch.
