Personal Training

Members may purchase personal training packages online.

Once you purchase the personal training package you will receive an email within a few days including health history paperwork that must be filled out and sent back. Upon clearance, the Fitness Manager requests the clients availability. Using the client availability and goals the Fitness Manager pairs a client with a personal trainer. At that point a trainer will reach out to you.
