Accountability & Support
Personal trainers are your partner in motivation and commitment to reaching your health and fitness goals. They bring positive encouragement, accountability, and support to every session.
Goal Progression
Personal trainers customize and map out a plan to reach your fitness and health goals. They identify short and long-term goals and help you track and measure your progress each session.
Overcome Plateaus
Personal trainers integrate variety into your sessions to avoid training plateaus and to keep exercise fun. They are experts in problem-solving road blocks and getting you back on track!
Variety & Fun
Personal trainers customize training plans that keep you engaged, inspired, and having fun! They introduce fresh workouts and techniques, and offer alternatives along the way.
Most of us know we need to exercise more, but don't know where to start, what to do, or how much/how often to do it. The benefits depend on your particular needs and goals. Personal trainers assess their clients and make a customized, progressive exercise plan. For experienced exercisers, personal trainers can assist clients in breaking through plateaus or boredom by selecting exercises that will continue to challenge the body in new ways.

The first session will focus on health history, physical assessments, and discussion around goals and interests. The following sessions will focus on an exercise routine that facilitates progression toward your goals.
Yes. At the first session, any pre-existing injuries should be discussed with the personal trainer so he or she can modify an exercise routine to best address that issue. If the injury or condition is something that would jeopardize your safety while exercising, a medical clearance may be requested from your physician.
You can purchase personal training above or fill out a Personal Training Request form at your local Y. The staff will pass on the request to the appropriate personal trainer, who will call you to schedule your first appointment. Personal training fees must be paid prior to the first appointment.
After you purchase personal training, our team will be in touch to set a day and time that works with you and/or your partner's schedule.

As you begin your wellness journey with the YMCA, it is our goal to understand your personal needs so you can meet your health and fitness goals. SMART Start is a free 30–60-minute session with one of our wellness experts who will discuss the best path for you. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about group exercise classes, equipment, and recommendations for using the wellness center equipment. You'll also get an introduction into personal training and so much more.
About Y Personal Trainers
Our personal trainers all maintain personal training certifications through at least one NCCA-accredited national health and fitness organization. In addition to national certifications, many trainers have special areas of expertise—like Barre, Kettlebells and Pilates Reformer—that require additional (and often intensive) training.
