Personal Training

Beginning exercisers learn correct exercise techniques and patterns, as well as proper progression, with the guidance of a Personal Trainer. Intermediate exercisers often reach a plateau in their workouts and fitness levels. Your experienced Personal Trainer will show you new techniques and training methods that will allow you to surpass your plateau and advance you to a new level of fitness.

How Fast Is Your Metabolism

We are now offering metabolic testing for members. Everyone’s response to exercise is different. This program allows members to understand what is needed to help achieve the results that they want. From these tests, we can tell members how hard their workout should be to improve your body’s ability to burn fat and calories. Now, your cardio workouts will start using more fat for energy, not sugar. Contact the front desk for more information.
