The Siena method

Every session, same foundation.

Each session is built through the lens of a musculoskeletal expert, so you get stronger while taking care of your joints.

  1. Mobilize

    Open up the joints first, so you can move through a full, comfortable range.

  2. Stabilize

    Switch on the smaller stabilizing muscles that give you control.

  3. Strengthen

    Bring it together with real, compound strength work — and real weights.

The goal isn’t just to move more. It’s a body that moves well, feels strong and works together.

Why semi-private

The attention of a trainer. The energy of a group.

Your coach knows your assessment, your history and your goals before you walk in. With just three or four people, they can watch every rep, adjust your weight and swap a movement the moment something doesn’t feel right.

  • Your program, designed by Amy, a Doctor of PT
  • Coached by CSCS-certified Movement Coaches who know your program
  • Physio under the same roof when we need a deeper investigation into your movement strategies
  • Regular re-assessments to keep your plan on track

Good questions.

I’m new to strength training. Is this for me?
Yes. Your assessment tells us where to start, and your coach scales every movement to you — many members are new to strength training.
I have an old injury. Can I still join?
Usually, yes — that’s what we’re built for. If your assessment shows you need Physio first, we’ll tell you, and your $50 counts toward it.
What’s the difference between semi-private training and Signature Classes?
Semi-private is personal training for 3–4 people, each on their own program designed by a Doctor of PT. Signature Classes are coached group classes of 6–7 with a set focus. Many members do both. Not sure which fits? Your Strength Assessment will point you to the right one.
How often should I train?
Most members train one, two or three times a week. We believe in building the habit gradually, and one session a week is far better than none. Book your Strength Assessment and we’ll help you find the right place to start.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your plan and how often you train. We’ll walk you through the options at your Strength Assessment, so you only pay for what fits.
I’m already a member. Where do I book classes?
Head to the class schedule to book through your Arketa account.
