• Small Group Training

  Workout with a friend(s) in a group of 2-3 people, in which a trainer will focus on a specific area each week. Sessions are twice a week for a total of six sessions per semester. Each session will consist of a customized exercise routine to fit the group’s needs.

  *All spots have been filled, this service will open again when more spots are available. Thank you for your patience.

• Body Composition Analysis

  The personal trainer will use the Inbody 270 Bio Impedance Scale located in the Personal Training Suite to assess your body fat %, body lean mass, body weight and so much more. Each session is 30 minutes, and the trainer will go over your results and help you create a fitness goal utilizing your Inbody outcomes.

  What Is a Fitness Assessment?
  A fitness assessment includes body weight, hydration level and a reading of body composition which reveals the proportion of fat and fat-free tissue in the body. Another component of the fitness assessment is a full body circumference measurement.

  Why Should You Get a Fitness Assessment?
  Once you have this information, you and your personal trainer can put together a proper fitness program that revolves around improving your current physical status. If you don't have a personal trainer, you can take this information and set a platform for yourself to improve upon based on your fitness assessment numbers. Completing your fitness assessment is a start toward bettering your health regardless of what your goals are. Knowing your numbers will empower you to make informed decisions about your health.  

  What About Hydration?
  Healthy Total Body Water Percentage:
  For a healthy adult: Female 45–60% / Male 50–65% 

  Recommended Daily Water Intake:
  The human body requires a minimum of 3 liters up to a gallon of water on a daily basis. 

  Disclaimer
  This assessment test serves as an information resource only, and is not to be used or relied on for any diagnostic or treatment purposes. Please consult your primary health care physician before beginning a new fitness regimen.
