Personal Training

Our personal training services are available to both members and nonmembers.

Private
The most personalized of our training services are one-on-one workouts with your personal trainer. One-half hour and hour sessions are available. Members may also purchase a package of 10 sessions at a discounted rate.

Semi-Private
Our semi-private training service allows you to share your training time with up to three of your friends. Not only will you benefit from your personal trainer's expertise, you'll experience extra motivation from your workout partners. One-half hour and hour sessions are available.

Tower Training
Tower Training maintains a semi-private setting with a personal trainer combining both cardiovascular and resistance training into one workout. 50- and 25-minute classes are available and each one is limited to seven participants. Unlike our standard 'Semi-Private' training service, you do not need to contact a trainer to make an appointment. Advanced registration for pre-determined Tower Training classes is taken at the front desk. You may sign-up on your own and meet new classmates, or sign-up with a friend and share the experience. Please download our Tower Training Schedule (see download link on the right) for classes currently offered, as well as for more Tower Training information.

Pilates
Pilates-based training is a contemporary approach to Joseph Pilates' original exercise concept, emphasizing smooth and dynamic repetitions, encouraging muscles to relax and lengthen. The benefits of STOTT PILATES® include:

• increased core strength
• enhanced functional fitness & ease of movement
• improved balance, coordination & circulation
• improved posture
• longer, leaner muscles

The STOTT REFORMER employs spring resistances, providing gradual resistance as muscles contract. Such mechanics ensure that the exercise is working the muscle properly, with less stress on tendons and ligaments than when using weighted resistances. This spares your joints while correcting muscle imbalances that lead to injuries. Balance, strength, and flexibility are developed in tandem, ensuring efficient movements and stable posture. One on one and small group Pilates instruction is available utilizing the mats and/or STOTT REFORMER in our independent Pilates studio.

Personal Fitness Assessments & Body Composition Analysis
Whether you are just beginning an exercise program or continuing an established routine, our assessments provide you with powerful information. Performed by a certified personal trainer, these assessments not only establish a baseline from which improvements can be measured, they also identify personal strengths, as well as areas needing improvement. Based on your assessment results and individual goals, your trainer can develop a targeted fitness program to get you across your finish line. From where you are to where you want to be, use these powerful tools along the way to measure your improvements and keep you on track. To schedule an assessment, talk with your personal trainer or contact Susan Courtney, Director of Personal Training, by calling (734) 665-3738 (ext. 29).
