Personal Training

Our personal trainers provide you with single or combined services which include: fitness assessments, nutrition coaching, exercise prescription and personalized training. Whatever your goals, a personal trainer will guide you with one-on-one sessions and a personalized training program, absolutely Free!

Our goal is to educate and motivate you to enhance personal responsibility for your health. You can take advantage of all or just one of the services.

Your first meeting with our personal trainers will entail a comprehensive fitness assessment which details your strengths and highlights imbalances. The fitness assessment measures body anthropometrics, cardiovascular and strength fitness levels, flexibility, and more and the results are used to design an individualized exercise program.

A second session will then be scheduled with your personal trainer to go through the designed workout. Periodic re-tests can also be schedule to gauge the degree to which you are accomplishing the goals set (at least 6 weeks apart). It is recommended that you schedule pre and post test with the same personal trainer.
