Personal Training

Personal training is one-on-one instruction that incorporates a fitness assessment, goal setting and health education into challenging workouts designed for your individual needs. A trainer is available for instruction on proper workout techniques and on a variety of exercises (both strength training and cardiovascular), while at the same time motivating the client to reach personal fitness goals.

The personal training program offered at Â鶹´«Ã½'s Student Recreation Center is designed to assist Â鶹´«Ã½s, faculty and staff in reaching their fitness goals. A variety of times and packages are available to meet your needs. You have the option of training individually or with a partner. You will be paired with a trained fitness specialist who will motivate and educate you on the most effective ways to train to reach your goals. All clients will receive an initial assessment paperwork, detailed session workouts and free post-testing assessment with purchases of 6 or 12 session packages.

Free Cardio and Weight Room Orientation 

Free for all Â鶹´«Ã½s, faculty, staff and alumni. This orientation is not considered a personal training session.

Client Testimonies

“Having a personal trainer has helped me get motivated again to stay healthy and in shape. Since retiring, and Covid, it has been difficult for me to exercise alone. Scheduled appointments keep me accountable, and Antonia pushes me to do more than I would on my own. She makes it fun!â€â€”Teresa

“Amidst the pandemic I was searching for a way to keep in shape. Once the Rec Center at WMU opened I knew this was the opportunity I was looking for. The only thing holding me back was the lack of knowledge of my body and how to push it to its limits. I immediately reached out to the staff at the Rec Center to find a personal trainer who could help me. I really enjoyed my experience here with Maddy, not only with the expertise and advice I was given to help me achieve my goals, but also the personal attention I received. All for an amazing price!â€Â­â¶Ä”J´Ç³ó²Ô
