How We Prepare for the Moment
1) Assess
We start with your event date, current fitness, and any aches to be aware of. You’ll get a baseline on strength, conditioning, and movement so the plan fits the timeline.
2) Plan
We build a focused block with weekly targets and phase goals. The plan prioritizes what transfers to your event: strength where it matters, conditioning that matches the demands, and recovery you can stick to.
3) Train
You’ll execute the plan with clear cues, smart progressions, and accountability. Sessions emphasize technique, effort pacing, and energy management so you arrive ready, not run down.
4) Re-test & Adjust
Milestone check-ins every 2–4 weeks confirm you’re on track. We tighten the plan as the date approaches and taper volume so you feel your best on the big day.

What Clients Say About Prepare for the Moment
My husband and I travel often. We go on at least a couple of international trips every year. We retired about five years ago. We're in our seventies now and we want to keep being able to travel the world many times over. We happened to find Royal Blue Fitness when we were driving down the street and looked it up on Google. We decided to give it a shot as our previous trainer had moved to a different town. We had a big trip coming up in July 2024 in Europe. We were happy that we were able to enjoy hiking with the rest of the members traveling with us on the tour bus without feeling too achy. We highly recommend working with the folks at Royal Blue Fitness. They do a fantastic job!

My now husband and I started working at Royal Blue Fitness a year and a half ago. We wanted to get in shape for our wedding day. We started with about 6-7 months to go. Although our goals were very different, our trainer at Royal Blue Fitness was able knowledgeable and flexible enough to help us with our exercise plan and nutrition plan to get us ready for our wedding. We had so many compliments and the photos looked great. After the wedding my husband didn't continue, but I did and soon after we were pregnant with our first baby boy and our trainer continued to work with us throughout my pregnancy. Our boy is very healthy, and I so much appreciate everything. We can't thank them enough or recommend them highly enough.

I was a client before Royal Blue Fitness was at their location. I worked with the Owner for years until covid happened. Since training with him, I became more aware of my health and started picking up running as a hobby. As I was training I started getting this pain in my hamstring near my knee, so I reached out to him because I had a half marathon coming up. My goal is to be ready to qualify for the Boston Marathon someday. We worked together for three months and my knees were much more stable. I feel stronger. I don't get that pain anymore and I was able to complete that half marathon and several others since then. I highly recommend training with Royal Blue Fitness.
- Ryan Roberts
For most of my adult life I didn't really keep up with my health. Honestly, after PE in high school, I went to college, graduated and worked and never really gave myself the time to take care of my health. I turned 39 and looked in the mirror one day and was just absolutely disgusted. 40 was just around the corner. At first I was hesitant because I didn't know what to expect. I had been out of shape at this point for over 20 years, but working with Royal Blue Fitness gave me the confidence that I could do it because of the way they educated and guided me throughout the entire time I was there. Almost a year later I had gotten stronger. I had more energy. I was able to outrun my kids and I had lost over 50 lbs. This decision with going to Royal Blue Fitness absolutely changed my life.

FAQs
What types of events or “big moments” can this program help me prepare for?
This program is designed to get you ready for virtually any personal goal or milestone. Our coaches can help you train for athletic challenges (like a 5K, marathon, or triathlon) as well as life events such as weddings, reunions, big vacations, or even a milestone birthday. Whether you aim aim is to, we’ll create a plan to match your event and ensure you arrive confident and capable.
How far in advance should I start training for my event?
It’s best to begin as early as possible so you have ample time to train safely and effectively. The ideal lead time depends on your starting fitness and the event’s demands – for example, a first-time marathon runner often follows a 16–20 week training plan to build up endurance gradually. Don’t worry if your timeline is shorter; our coaches will tailor a realistic program to maximize your progress in the time you have. The key is consistency and smart planning, so starting sooner rather than later sets you up for success.
Do I need to be an athlete or in top shape to join this program?
No – this program is absolutely for all levels. You do not need any athletic background; we work with beginners, busy professionals, new parents, retirees, and everyone in between. Our trainers create a welcoming, supportive environment where people of all ages and abilities can train and feel challenged appropriately. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or returning after a long break, we’ll meet you at your level and build you up safely.
Can I do this if I have an injury or health concern?
Yes, we can accommodate injuries or special health concerns. Our approach begins with an assessment to understand your condition, and we can modify exercises or include corrective strategies as needed. In fact, having guidance is often beneficial – a good trainer will help you avoid re-injury and make steady progress. We’ve had clients train for their events while working around prior injuries; for example, our program helped a runner avoid a recurring hamstring injury during marathon prep. Your safety is our priority, so we’ll adjust the plan to keep you healthy while you train.
Do I need a gym membership or any special equipment?
No, you won’t need a separate gym membership to train with us – we’ve got you covered. If you’re training in person at our Pleasant Hill facility, you’ll have access to all the equipment you need (we provide a fully equipped, private training space). If you prefer to train remotely or at home, our coaches will design workouts that use the resources you have available, whether that’s basic home equipment or just bodyweight exercises. In short, we make sure you have everything necessary for a great workout without requiring you to invest in a lot of gear
. What makes Royal Blue Fitness’s approach unique for event preparation?
At Royal Blue Fitness, we combine a structured, scientific approach with a personal touch. Our coaches understand what it takes to excel without turning your life upside down – many of us have prepared for big events ourselves, so we “get” how to balance training with work, family, and daily life. We start with a thorough assessment and create a personalized program aligned to your specific event, timeline, and lifestyle. Throughout the journey, you’ll train in a supportive, motivational atmosphere – “a welcoming, structured environment where people of all ages and abilities can feel seen, supported, and challenged”. We pride ourselves on being relatable coaches who focus on long-term growth and real results, not just quick fixes or cookie-cutter routines
Can I work with you if I’m not local? Do you offer virtual training options?
Absolutely. We offer flexible delivery options including one-on-one and partner sessions in person, as well as virtual coaching or a hybrid of both. This means you can train with us from anywhere – via live video sessions or using our online guidance – or even mix online and in-gym sessions to suit your schedule. Our goal is to make expert coaching accessible and convenient, so you can prepare for your big moment no matter where you live or how busy life gets
