Starting a new fitness journey can feel intimidating. Often, it’s not the physical challenge that holds us back but the stories we’ve come to believe about ourselves. Here, we’re dedicated to debunking common misconceptions, helping you kickstart your wellness path with confidence.

“I’m Too Out of Shape to Start.”

Truth: You don’t need to be fit to start; you start to get fit. At Gallant, every individual is capable of achieving their goals, no matter their starting point. Our workouts are scalable for all fitness levels. Whether you’re stepping into a gym for the first time or returning after a hiatus, each workout can be tailored to meet you where you are.

Our professional coaches are committed to guiding you safely and steadily toward your fitness goals. They will support you through proper movement techniques and modifications, ensuring that progress is achievable and sustainable. More importantly, our community-driven environment surrounds you with like-minded individuals who understand what it’s like to be new. With us, you’ll find a network of athletes who celebrate every step of your fitness journey.

“I Don’t Have Time.”

Truth: You don’t need more time—you need a better plan. We respect the hustle and bustle of daily life, which is why our structure considers your schedule. Our 60-minute, coach-led classes deliver maximum results efficiently, fitting seamlessly into your day.

Multiple class times throughout the day and flexible scheduling mean training can adapt to busy lifestyles. Prioritizing your health is not just a time commitment; it’s an investment in yourself. Even just three hours a week can significantly enhance your health, body composition, and energy levels. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup—investing in your health is essential.

“HIIT Training/Strength Training Is Dangerous or Too Extreme.”

Truth: When executed correctly, functional strength and conditioning training is one of the safest and most efficient ways to exercise. At Gallant, smart, intentional programming balances progressions, controlled intensity, and necessary recovery.

Our certified coaches focus heavily on technique and safety, ensuring no one risks injury in the pursuit of fitness. We prioritize mechanics and consistency before introducing intensity so that you can achieve long-term progress safely. Trust that safety and form are our top priorities in every class.

“It’s Too Expensive.”

Truth: There’s a difference between price and value—investing in your health pays off significantly over a lifetime. A membership here includes the benefits of professional coaching, expert programming, and essential accountability, all for a fraction of the cost of traditional personal training.

We also make our services more accessible through civil servant and family discounts, flexible membership options, and systems like Truemed for HSA reimbursement. Investing in your health now can prevent future medical costs and enrich your life by improving energy, productivity, and overall well-being.

“I’ve Tried Group Classes Before—How Is This Different?”

Truth: We’re more than just a gym; we are a successful support system dedicated to your long-term success. Our coaching extends beyond the gym floor. You’re never left to tackle workouts solo. Instead, you’ll experience guided, corrected, and motivated sessions backed by coaches who truly care.

Our results-driven programming skillfully blends strength, conditioning, and skill work, fostering measurable progress. We avoid randomness by offering thoughtful variety to keep your workouts fresh and prevent burnout. Beyond the physical, our dedicated Committed Club, structured New Member Journey, and personal check-ins ensure you stay accountable and on track.

The Bottom Line

Most barriers are not as daunting as they may seem. Banish the fear of failure, perfectionism, or the belief that you need to be “ready.” Here, we encourage you to take the first step because you don’t need to be perfect or ready—you just need to start.

Gallant is proud to be the best gym in Bedford, setting the stage for unparalleled fitness improvement. Our lively environment, fueled by grit, gratitude, and growth, invites everyone—no matter your fitness level—to embark on a journey toward a healthier, fuller life.
