Personal Training & Yoga
Personal Training
Personal Training is a one-on-one instruction program that focuses on education, motivation, and exercise adherence. Personal trainers will tailor progressive exercise programs to meet the individual needs and interests of clients. Clients are encouraged to independently continue with the exercise programs designed for them to enjoy the lifelong benefits of regular physical activity.
Personal training is available for students and Recreation Services members. Sessions are held at the Student Recreation Center or Chick Evans Field House. Scheduling is done cooperatively between the client and personal trainer. Personal training packages can be purchased in person at the Student Recreation Center Service Counter. Medical screening is required prior to participation in this program.

One-on-one yoga is available for students and Recreation Services members. Sessions are held at the Student Recreation Center. Scheduling is done cooperatively between the client and yoga instructor. One-on-one yoga packages can be purchased in person at the Student Recreation Center Service Counter.
