Types of Personal Training

Single Client Training

You will work one-on-one with one of our trainers who will design a workout regime specifically tailored to your fitness goals, including emphasis on muscular strength, functional strength, cardio endurance, flexibility and core strength.

Partner Training

If you need motivation or want some friendly competition during your workouts, try our Partner TrainingPackages.  You and a friend will share a trainer who will help you both reach your personal fitness goals.  It’s a great way to challenge yourselves, save money and stay motivated.

Top Reasons to sign up for Personal Training

Achieve your goals
Our trainers will help to define your goals and design specific workouts for you. This will help you obtain your desired results faster and safer than exercising on your own.

Accountability
Working with a trainer will hold you accountable to regular exercise, keeping your commitment to yourself.  It’s much harder to skip a trip to the Y when you have someone there waiting for you!

Turn weaknesses to strengths
You can’t know how far you’ve come unless you know where you started.  Our trainers can assess your strengths and weakness, focusing on your targeted areas of improvement throughout your individual sessions.

Motivation & Encouragement
Our trainers will take you through each of your sessions while offering personalized feedback, encouragement, and support to keep you on track for achieving your goals!’

Knowledge
Our trainers hold a minimum of a bachelors degree, as well as a nationally recognized exercise certification. Each trainer can effectively asses your fitness level and design a program specific for your needs.
