Personal Training
on Land, in the Pool or Both
What is personal training and how can it benefit you? Unlike a group exercise class, personal training helps you to examine your current lifestyle, establish goals, and creates a unique plan to help you achieve those goals. It’s more than just “one-on-one” exercise sessions. Goals are constantly evaluated and programs are tweaked to provide an ever-evolving workout that varies as your body needs change. It focuses on “you”; optimizing workouts in the amount of time that you have available, and creates a plan that you can stick to. It can provide encouragement and develop safe strategies to achieve or maintain a healthy weight. It teaches you proper techniques to exercise safely and effectively. It empowers you to make your fitness routine a part of your lifestyle. It’s for anyone of any age or fitness level; from the individual who wants to improve flexibility and range-of-motion to the seasoned athlete.
DATES/TIMES: Sessions will be set up between you and your trainer for whatever day and time works for your busy schedule; LOCATION: This will be based upon your goals, may include Washington Center Gym, Aquatic and Fitness Center, etc.; FEE: One-nine sessions: Residents/ Non-Residents $25/$30; 10 or more sessions: Residents/Non-Residents $20/$25.
