At BariFit, we recognize that our members may have chronic injuries/pain. Therefore we will always do our best to provide alternative exercises and modifications when needed.

No, not at all and you are definitely in the right place! BariFit was created to help bariatric patients introduce exercise into their daily routine (either before or after surgery). Therefore, we welcome anyone to the program (whether you are brand new to resistance training or experienced). We will guide you every step of the way so that you feel comfortable and confident.

Our bariatric surgeons recommend waiting at least one month after surgery before starting any type of exercise program. However, they suggest you check with your bariatric team first.

We highly recommend you start with the 12-Week Program so we can ensure everyone is on the same page. However, once you complete the program you can move onto our more advanced programs and/or one-on-one customized coaching.

You definitely aren’t alone! In fact, one of our pillars is accountability. We recognize how difficult it can be to create new habits. Therefore, we offer a community with like-minded individuals and daily support to help you build momentum.

BariFit prides itself on being accessible. In other words, we have created a program that you can safely do in the comfort of your home at any time of day and at your own pace.

To complete the program, you require minimal equipment, such as: dumbbells, an exercise ball or bench, a mat and resistance bands.

Once you complete the program you can continue with our month to month app workouts or sign up for premium online coaching with our trainer, Laura. We will also be running challenges throughout the year.

Our program is open to anyone who wants to lose weight. Although BariFit was initially created to introduce resistance training to bariatric patients, we recognize that our program could potentially help anyone who is struggling to lose weight. Furthermore, with the increase in use of GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic (which can cause muscle loss), we are happy we can offer a viable solution and help even more people improve their quality of life through fitness.

Yes. We are happy to provide customized meal plans based on your individual needs. We calculate calories and macros based on body weight, age, height, activity level and goals. We also provide delicious recipes that have been created by nutritionists (That Clean Life). If you require a specialized diet because of a medical issue, please consult with your bariatric program’s dietician. Please note: our meal plans are designed to guide you on your weight loss journey. We recommend using our in-app food tracker to ensure your body is getting the nutrients it needs.

The BariFit app is specifically tailored to bariatric patients and those who struggle to lose weight. But what truly sets us apart is the fact that our team includes two bariatric surgeons and a personal trainer.

Our introductory program includes 3 phases. Each one focuses on specific styles of training and exercises. Our goal is to ensure you learn proper technique so that you can achieve the best results possible and avoid potential injuries.

Unfortunately at this time we don’t offer group or in-person classes. However, this is something we hope to include in the near future

We want our members to be fully satisfied with our program. We will provide refunds up to 10 days after the start of a membership or program.
