What is expected of an Apex Member?
This is a loaded question, and one that may seem like a high hurdle for many people. Rest assured, your ability to achieve your potential is only limited by your dedication to the process. We expect our members to be present for their 10-minute weekly check-ins, fill out their food logs as prescribed by their coach, check-in on the TrueCoach app upon beginning their exercise routine, mark their exercises/workouts as finished in a timely manner, leave notes/messages for us through the TrueCoach App, watch the tutorials and exercise videos to ensure proper form is being used, submit videos/pictures so their coach can be sure they are performing the exercises correctly, have the needed equipment purchased or a current gym membership that has the needed equipment to perform the exercises. That's basically it!
