PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS (offered to members only)

Personal Trainers are available to Campus Recreation members. Packages can be purchased at the following rates:

Having a workout partner helps to increase motivation and makes exercising more enjoyable. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a workout partner:
Be sure to choose a partner with similar fitness goals. This will allow the Trainer to utilize the time to benefit both participants.
Make sure that you and your partner's schedule coordinate. It will not only ensure that you can make the commitment together, but also makes scheduling an appointment with a Trainer easier.

Our 12-Week Fit System, available to Campus Recreation members only, promotes exercise adherence, motivation, and correct technique. System includes:

• Initial consultation with Trainer to determine goals and design a program (1 hour)
• Bod Pod Assessment (15 minutes)
• Three 30-minute personal training sessions per week for 12 weeks (18 hours total)
• Final consultation with Trainer to evaluate progress (30 minutes)

All personal training services must be paid for at Membership Services. Once payment is received, a personal training staff will contact you within two business days to schedule an appointment. Phone payments can be made (519 661.3090) with credit card information. Clients must complete a Lifestyle Questionnaire and Par-Q. If the client answers "yes" to any questions on the Par-Q, a medical clearance (Par Med-X) is required before the appointment can occur.

Personal trainer must be notified 24 hours in advance of scheduled sessions. You must receive verbal confirmation of cancellation from the trainer. If you do not appear for a scheduled appointment or fail to give 24 hours notice, you will be charged for the full session. Please call if you are going to be more than 5 minutes late for a session. Personal trainers will only wait 15 minutes for late arrivals and your sessions will start from the time agreed upon.

If you purchase a Personal Training Sessions and cannot finish the sessions due to health issues, you are eligible for a refund for unused sessions minus a $5 processing fee. You must provide documentation from your physician to receive this refund. This refund is based upon the approval from the Coordinator of Fitness and Wellness.

Gift certificates are available upon request for any Campus Recreation service. Personal training gift certificates are a great gift for Campus Recreation members. When redeeming a gift certificate for a personal training service, the gift certificate must be presented when booking appointments. Therefore, appointments must be booked in-person.
