Frequently Asked Questions
Please email Gigi at gigifitnessus@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question (or use the WhatsApp chat icon at the bottom of the page).
What can I expect to find on Gigi Fitness?
Gigi Fitness offers a wide variety of digital classes and movement experiences that range from 5 to 60 minutes. Many classes are open level and offer options and modifications for both beginner and advanced exercisers. Each class is designed to spark curiosity, illicit joy, and awaken the connection between your mental and physical self. Gigi pulls from various movement modalities to create an positive experience no matter what your background is.
Is it safe for beginners?
ABSOLUTELY! As an experienced fitness coach, I have extensive knowledge in scaling exercises for many abilities. I will guide you through different modifications to make the exercises both more difficult and more manageable. You will need to be able to get up and down from the floor, depending on what class you are taking. As always, clearance from your doctor to exercise is recommended.
Will there be any jumping?
It is understandable that not everyone is comfortable jumping, so jumping is always optional and there will be options to offer choices in the program design. Please note that on any *Silversneakers and *Healthy Aging classes there will be no jumping or floor work. The use of a chair will be recommended, but it’s also optional. The main focus in every class is to give you a great workout, and to make sure you are safe and injury free!
I have a current/old injury, What do you recommend?
Please let me know - ideally, before class begins! I can always offer you some recommendations on how to modify a move to keep you safe, active, and confident. However, please always follow your doctor’s recommendations when joining a class.
Why Gigi Fitness? (I can find free workouts on YouTube or Instagram!)
Gigi Fitness offers a more personal approach, years of experience, and accountability! I will take care of you, by watching you and your form/technique to ensure you are moving safely and effectively. Yes, I really do see you and we will interact! To the ones who know me already, I provide encouragement in a way that motivates, entertains and keeps you safe. Sometimes we do need to take a break in the middle of a class… and that is perfectly fine with me! We will be working out together and keeping each other accountable. How about that? But do not be a stranger! If I notice you have been missing classes too often, I will check on you because I care about you! So be aware that I will be checking on you from time to time.
How do I create an account?
Creating an account takes care of the formalities such as the liability waiver and speeds up the class the registration process. I strongly suggest you create an account so your transition to take a class is smooth.
When purchasing a membership or a package you have the opportunity to create an account by filling in the form provided.
Please go to the JOIN NOW! section of this website, and select the membership or package by clicking the button BUY NOW. It will take you to another window to fill in a form with your information to either LOGIN or SIGN UP to create an account.
How do I sign up for a live class?
As long as you have a computer and an account with Gigi Fitness, you can sign up for a live class at any time! There is also a drop-in rate and class packs for those who would prefer to not subscribe. If you have a Premium membership, you have access to ALL of the content on the platform, including live classes. If you have a Silver membership, all classes marked with an* are available to you.
When do I need to register for class?
Whenever you want! If you register in advance, you’ll receive an email confirmation and a reminder email 30-minutes before class. If you register as class is getting started, you’ll launch the class from the website (must be logged in). And, it is OK if you are a bit late.
How do I access an On Demand class?
You can purchase a 24 hour rental of any on demand class. To gain access to the entire on demand library for unlimited use, purchase the Premium Membership. If you have purchased a Silver Membership, you have access to content labeled *Healthy Aging.
Why am I being asked to pay an initial payment when signing up for a membership?
As you might have already guessed, there are several expenses and fees involved on the creation of this virtual community and to keep this site running. The initial payment is a one time payment and you will not be charged ever again for this. You will continue to enjoy your membership at your locked-in lowest rate available at this time.
What is the difference between the Premium Membership and the Silver Membership?
Premium Membership gives you access to every live, on demand, and recorded live class on the platform. The Silver Membership gives you access to all the *Healthy aging live streaming classes (marked with an *) plus access to the On Demand library of the recordings of ONLY these classes. However, being a member with either membership also gives you the opportunity to participate in future fitness challenges and special programs at a discounted membership price.
What is the difference between the Silversneakers membership and the Silver membership?
The Silversneakers membership is a special offering of this site for active adults with this kind of fitness perk offered by their insurance. You need to show proof of your Silversneakers membership beforehand and you are limited to all live classes with camera On. It is like attending a class at a physical gym. You are present, but virtually on video.
The Silver membership allows you to attend these *Healthy aging live classes, and also access the on demand library of the recordings at your convenience and at no extra cost. There is no need to provide proof of insurance.
Why am I being asked to pay an initial payment when getting my Silversneakers membership? Isn’t supposed to be free?
There are many expenses and fees involved in the creation of this virtual community as well as to keep this site running. The initial payment is a one time payment and you will not be charged ever again for this membership which allows you to attend all the Silversneakers approved classes. If you are enjoying the free classes enough, you are always welcome to make a donation to the site at your convenience. Email gigifitnessus@gmail.com to request information whenever you feel like making a contribution.

If you are logged in, and you are trying to book a spot into a class that asks you for a payment, then that class is not included with you SilverSneakers Only membership.
I have a SilverSneakers/ Silver membership. Why does a class or recording require a payment?
Make sure you are logged in with your Gigi Fitness account before trying to book your spot for any live-streaming class or to rent a recording on the On Demand Library. If you are logged in, and you are still being asked for a payment, then that particular class/recording is under a category that is not included with your SilverSneakers or Silver membership.
I am a Silversneakers/ Silver member, can I access the Premium content on the On Demand library?
Yes! You can purchase a 24 hour rental of any Premium On Demand class. Your Silver Membership already grants you access to all content labeled Healthy Aging classes (marked with an * ) on the On Demand library.
