WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOR MY FIRST WORKOUT?
Once you arrive for class, you can expect a brief but thorough warmup as the coach welcomes the group and gears everyone up for the training session.
Expect a moderately-fast pace as you rotate through different stations, performing strength training exercises for a series of repetitions or time. Your coach will work the floor, checking form and providing exercise instruction, ensuring you are using the proper amount of weight or resistance, and keeping you motivated to push through the round. You’ll have breaks between movements to hydrate and prepare for the next exercise.
The workout will finish with a cooldown, a stretch, and a recap of the session.
BUT I’M NOT A “GYM JUNKIE”… AND EVERY OTHER REASON KVELL IS FOR YOU.
At Kvell, we nip excuses in the bud! It’s typical to have doubts and hesitations when trying something new. That’s why our amazing coaches work to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

IT’S BEEN YEARS SINCE I’VE WORKED OUT, AND I DON’T FEEL CONFIDENT THAT I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING.
No worries! Gyms can be intimidating. Our coaches will guide you every step of the way to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in no time. We have level one movements to ensure you can start your journey right where you currently are.
WILL I BE REALLY SORE FROM THE WORKOUTS?
Soreness is your body’s response to progressive training stimuli, and it’s often the most intense during the first several workouts or when you jump into something new full throttle.
To avoid being too sore we help you ease into our training program. We also focus on proper warm-ups, gradual progression, hydration, nutrition, rest days, and foam rolling. Adequate sleep and active recovery activities can also reduce soreness. Balancing intensity and recovery is essential for minimizing post-workout discomfort, and our program builds rest days in to ensure your success.
I’VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO STICK TO A FITNESS OR NUTRITION PROGRAM BEFORE.
If you’ve never been able to follow a gym program before, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Many people face challenges when it comes to establishing a consistent gym routine.
With our 21-day Jumpstart, you’ll receive all the tools you need to begin your lifestyle change. Understand that it’s a process and it’s never too late to start! Our coaches are here to answer your questions and to keep you accountable during the early habit-forming stages.
Once you’ve completed our habit foundation program, you’ll be well on your way to making fitness a permanent part of your life!

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A KVELL FITNESS AND NUTRITION IN MERIDIAN IDAHO?
Due to COVID we closed our Meridian Kvell and Eagle Kvell locations. However, as soon as things pick back up we will be looking to re-expand. We are always looking at the possibility of opening more locations.
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BRING KVELL FITNESS AND NUTRITION [INSERT STATE]?
As soon as it makes sense for us as a business. We have people who have experience our program from Alaska to New York who keep bugging us to open a Kvell facility in their state. We plan on it as soon as it makes sense from a business standpoint. Until then if you do not live in a state where a Kvell facility resides you can contact us in regards to our distance programs.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO WORKOUTS?
We provide all of the necessary equipment. However, a few things that you may want to bring include a water bottle, hand towel to wipe sweat from your brow, and hair tie. We also require you wear squeaky clean shoes to ensure the training floor stays pristine for all to enjoy and bath in all of its beauty.
HOW DO I SPEED UP THE RECOVERY PROCESS AND REDUCE MUSCULAR SORENESS OR DOMS (DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS)?
DOMS, DA, DOM, DOM, DOMS. Our old friend delayed onset muscle soreness is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It lays in the cut until day two after your workout and then it springs on you like the furry of millions of African army ants devouring your soul to live in sheer seconds. A few things that will help tremendously in the rapid reduction of DOMS. Drink water, at least half of your body weight in ounces (closer to 0.7 ounces per pound of body weight is better). Walk, walk, and walk some more. The more you can get and keep your blood moving the better. Take a twenty-minute warm Epsom salt bath. Do another workout utilizing the same muscles to “work the soreness out”. Lastly, for prevention purposes never allow yourself to go more than one week without some form of exercise.
DO YOU OFFER ATHLETE TRAINING, PERSONAL TRAINING, CORPORATE WELLNESS, ETC?
Yes. We offer everything you could ever imagine when it comes to general health, fitness, and nutrition. We do not offer specific training in areas like strongman training, bodybuilding, and figure competitions. Nearly everything outside of those three specialties we offer or can offer if it makes sense. For a more detailed list of what we specialize, contact us using the Contact Us form .
DO YOU OFFER PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT SPORTS ATHLETES OR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS?
Yes. We are passionate about helping children understand and enjoy the benefits of exercise and healthy eating. We love to facilitate after-school programs to ensure children are getting their required daily activity and having fun while doing it. To learn more about all of the programs we have available contact us using the Contact Us form .
DOES BRETT EVER SMILE?
In person. No. For pictures, sometimes. Don’t take it personally. This does not mean he doesn’t like you or isn’t happy. It just means that he is so deeply entrenched in figuring out how to improve the service of Kvell that he forgot to tell his face he was happy, thus the stoic appearance that he is so infamous for is because there is not a moment of the day where he is not actively working to determine a better more efficient way to serve the clients of Kvell and the world. All jokes aside Brett is passionate about helping you achieve your goals.
