Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION: Can anyone become a member at EDGE or do I have to be some sort of elite athlete?
ANSWER: No.  You do not have to be an elite athlete to train here, but you may feel like one.  Even though EDGE is the most technologically advanced training facility in the area, our members are normal everyday people.  Whether you have never lifted weights before or you are a competitive athlete, EDGE is highly equipped to meet your needs.  Our members range from an 18-year-old female student to a 60-something year-old retired software design engineer.

QUESTION: I heard that it costs $100/month to become a member at EDGE.  Is that true?
ANSWER: No, it does not cost anywhere near $100/month to become a member at EDGE.  In fact, considering that 1) EDGE is the only true 24 hour gym in the area, 2) our equipment is 3x as expensive as fitness equipment found at other gyms, health centers, and fitness clubs, and 3) EDGE is open an average of 33% more hours each day than other gyms, EDGE's membership plans are the absolute best value for your dollar.  You could quickly discover that you could be paying less than you are now...
QUESTION: I see other gyms offering membership rates as low as $9.99/month... why doesn't EDGE charge only $9.99 month?

ANSWER: Why does a Cadillac generally cost more than a Hyundai?  Why does a Mac generally cost more than a PC?  Why is Sephora more expensive than CVS?  It's about the quality of the product, the level of service, and the customer's experience.

Let's face it- a gym, fitness center, or health club charging $9.99/month is signing up everyone they possibly can and hoping that you do not even show up to workout.  If that's the case, are they going to continually upgrade their services and equipment?  Why install the best equipment if they are hoping you do not even show up?  Think about it. 

In addition, $9.99/month may be the right price for you, but what if I told you that 90% of the equipment they install in these types of "fitness centers" DO NOT provide ANY significant increase in physical performance or health benefits?  Is it still worth $9.99/month?

QUESTION: Ok, so you're open 24 hours... but, can I go workout at EDGE at 3am on Christmas Day?
ANSWER: Yes.  EDGE is open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year.  You can workout at 3am on Christmas Day... even if there is 18 inches of fresh snow on the ground.  If you can get there, you can workout.
QUESTION: I was wondering if your gym is more geared towards bodybuilding and if there are plenty of cardio machines, and if there is a women's room?
ANSWER: I would say Edge is most geared towards people who want the convenience of working out whenever they choose- early mornings, days, late nights, weekends, or even holidays.  Currently, to the best of my knowledge, we do not have any competitive bodybuilders as members.  Our membership population is a pretty diverse group of all types, ranging from a 82-year-old woman (who actually lifts weights!), to a teenage boy that works out with his mom. 
 
We do not have a separate women's room, but many women have joined Edge due to our more private atmosphere.  The average number of members working out at any one time is between 2-5 members.  That's only 2-5 people on the main gym floor at any one time, on average!  We have ample cardio equipment for this specific gym model, including bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, and stairmaster.
QUESTION: Does Edge offer a FREE TRIAL WEEK or FREE DAY PASSES?
ANSWER: No.  Absolutely not. 

Our first responsibility is to our current, paying members. 

Our members DEPEND on Edge to be what it is and what is always will be- a clean, private, convenient, hassle-free, stress-free, well-maintained, ideally organized, and perfectly equipped sanctuary. 

Using short-term sales tactics that will maybe stimulate new sign-ups, but will almost definitely annoy current members, is a bad idea in our view.
