Personal Training

One-On-One Sessions

Meet with a personal trainer privately at your convenience.  Your trainer will create a progressive exercise program to meet your needs, interests, and goals.  Trainers will ensure all exercises are performed correctly and safely.  One-On-One sessions come in packages of 4 or 8 sessions and include a fitness assessment, initial consultation, and nutrition consultation.  Fitness assessments consist of cardiovascular, strength, flexibility, and body fat testing.  Single one-on-one sessions are available for those interested in getting started quickly without a fitness assessment and consultation. 

Buddy Package

Want to get fit with a friend?  Try a Buddy Package and save money!  This package is great for those who want to share their personal training time with someone.  A trainer will meet with buddies together for six, one-hour sessions.  Buddies must sign up at the same time.  Buddies are also eligible for a free nutrition consultation.  For maximum results, it is recommended that buddy sessions be used with a friend who has similar exercise interests, goals, and fitness level.
