Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to use my starter package?

All starter packages expire 14 days from purchase date. This encourages momentum and habit formation. Most clients schedule all 3 sessions upfront (e.g., Monday/Wednesday/Friday the same week) for maximum results. Ongoing packages purchased after your starter never expire—use them at your own pace.

What if I'm not satisfied after my first session?

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If Type A Training isn't the right fit after your first workout, contact us within 24 hours for a full refund—no questions asked. Over 95% of clients continue to ongoing training after experiencing our service. Email nathaniel@typeatraining.com or call (917) 951-0111 to request a refund.

Do I need any equipment for in-home training?

No equipment needed. Your trainer brings everything: adjustable dumbbells (5-50 lbs), resistance bands, kettlebells, TRX suspension trainer, yoga mat, foam roller, jump rope, medicine balls, and boxing gloves. All professional-grade equipment is sanitized between clients. We specialize in small-space workouts perfect for NYC studio apartments as small as 150 sq ft.

Can I choose my trainer or do you assign one?

Owner Nathaniel Oliver personally matches you with the ideal trainer based on your goals, experience level, injuries, schedule, Manhattan location, and personality preferences from your questionnaire. We consider trainer specialization (weight loss, strength, yoga, prenatal, seniors), personality fit, schedule availability, and gender preference. Not a perfect match? We offer one free trainer swap within 48 hours.

I live in a small NYC apartment. Will training work in my space?

Absolutely. We specialize in small-space training for studios as small as 150-200 sq ft. Minimum space needed: 6x8 feet of clear floor (yoga mat size). We use compact equipment, vertical exercises, stationary movements, and bodyweight exercises requiring minimal space. Alternative options: building gym, rooftop, nearby parks (Central Park, Washington Square, Battery Park), or building lobby.

Are your trainers background checked and insured?

Yes. All trainers hold nationally recognized certifications (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA), current CPR/AED certification, and undergo comprehensive background checks including national criminal database search, sex offender registry check, federal watch lists, and reference verification. Every trainer carries $2 million general liability insurance and professional liability insurance covering your home, building gym, and outdoor locations.

I have an injury or chronic pain. Can I still train?

Yes. We specialize in training clients with injuries and limitations including lower back pain, knee issues, shoulder problems, arthritis, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Your trainer requests physician clearance for serious injuries, performs movement assessments, modifies exercises to avoid pain triggers, and uses progressive loading. We coordinate with your physical therapist or doctor when needed. Proper training often reduces pain and prevents future injuries.
