Fitness Training

Our fitness trainers will provide you with the motivation and direction you need to achieve your health and fitness goals! After an initial evaluation to establish your baseline health and fitness level, your program will be designed to meet your individual needs — whether that’s weight loss, recovering from an injury or surgery, cardiovascular fitness, strength training, or just general health and fitness.

Your fitness trainer:

• designs a workout program specifically for you, regardless of experience
• demonstrates movements and ensures proper form
• answers your questions and monitors progress
• adjusts your workout as your needs change and your abilities grow
• provides workout variety to help alleviate boredom, avoid plateaus, and prevent injury
