When choosing a personal trainer, it is important to select someone who matches your personality type, values, and interests to help you achieve your goals.  To aid in this process, we have online personal trainer bios which allow you to learn about our trainers before you make your initial appointment.   After choosing a personal trainer, either stop by our main office (SRC 142) or call 335-8732 to schedule a 30-minute goal session.     

The UREC Personal Training Program has a wide variety of programs to fit each individual's needs. 

• 60 Minute Consultations
• Body Composition Testing
• Fitness Assessments
• Four-Week Programs
• Orientations: Weight Room and Cardio Equipment
• Buddy Sessions
• Triple Sessions

A fitness assessment is a series of exercises that measure your body composition, muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and flexibility resulting in a set of measurements that can be used as a baseline to measure progress.  With these results in place, your fitness and exercise goals can be set realistically. We currently offer a partial fitness assessment option for those who do not want to perform the cardiovascular portion.

Working with a personal trainer will help you stick to an exercise
program and hold yourself accountable.  Personal trainers will help you
set realistic goals and help you meet them.  Our trainers will ensure
that you leave every session educated and motivated for your next
workout!
