machines by a certified personal trainer. During the Basic STO, members will be provided with a list of the circuit machines along with information on technique, moderation, progression, and machine adjustments. Please note that these are not customized personal training sessions. Members will not be shown how to use dumbbells or cable machines, and will not be exercising during the STO.
