FAQs

Essential setup is included in your service price, with no extra setup fee. For mobile massage, HERFORM brings the massage bed, standard towels and basic treatment essentials; you provide a suitable private space with clear access. Premium setup is $40 per therapist because each may need their own additional equipment and setup; optional warm towels and other extras are agreed, not guaranteed for every event. Standard towels do not require Premium. Wellness Pop-up setup is only the optional outdoor tent/gazebo setup, from $200 per event, not per therapist — arranged on request through an event quote, subject to suitable venue, weather and agreed setup, and not automatically included. Additional therapist setup fees, equipment, privacy requirements or travel may apply depending on the event. Setup is never charged per participant. Setup fees are separate from your booked service. Travel, additional therapist requirements and special equipment are quoted separately where applicable. All final costs are clearly confirmed in your quote before booking.

Yes. HERFORM uses a portable training system that may include resistance bands, mini bands, wrist and ankle weights, mats and other compact training tools. Dumbbells or kettlebells may also be incorporated depending on your goals and session location.

No. HERFORM can provide portable equipment for most sessions. If you already own suitable dumbbells, kettlebells or other equipment, these may also be incorporated into your program.

Yes. Resistance bands can provide meaningful resistance for many full-body exercises. As you progress, difficulty can be increased through stronger bands, movement progressions, tempo changes, unilateral exercises, wearable weights or additional resistance equipment.

Light wrist and ankle weights may be used to add resistance to controlled strength, Pilates-inspired and functional movement exercises. They can be particularly useful for core work, glute training, balance and controlled conditioning.

HERFORM uses wearable weights selectively. Heavy ankle weights are not used for fast or explosive kicking. They are primarily used during controlled movements.

HERFORM includes progressive strength training, but the type of resistance depends on your goals, experience and environment. Some clients may train mainly with bands, bodyweight and wearable resistance, while others may progress to dumbbells, kettlebells or additional resistance.

Neither on its own. HERFORM is a hybrid method combining progressive strength training, portable resistance, Pilates-inspired core control, mobility and athletic conditioning. Pilates-inspired work is one component, not the whole program.

Yes — that is the point. You can build muscle, get genuinely stronger and improve conditioning while also improving mobility, control and movement quality. Sessions are not limited to light exercise.

Assess, move, strengthen, power, recover. A typical session includes a movement check, mobility and activation, Pilates-inspired core control, progressive strength training, athletic conditioning, then mobility and recovery. Programs are adapted to you, not identical for everyone.

Foundations if you are new or returning to structured training; Build if you are ready to progressively increase strength and fitness; Perform if you are experienced and want challenging strength, power and conditioning work.

30-minute sessions focus on mobility, core control and progressive strength. THE HERFORM 45 adds athletic conditioning, more coaching and a fuller mobility and recovery finish.
