Session 1: Fitness Assessment
Your personal training program will begin with a fitness assessment, which will give you and your trainer an accurate measure of your fitness level. The testing and consultation regarding your results will take approximately an hour. Fitness evaluations are a great way to determine your current fitness level and to monitor and record your progress.
This evaluation will measure the following:
- Resting heart rate
- Resting blood pressure
- Cardiovascular fitness
- Muscular fitness
- Flexibility
- Body composition
Sessions 2-4: Exercise Program Development
During the three remaining sessions, your trainer will work with you to teach you how to complete your exercise program safely and effectively. These sessions will be spent actually working out with your trainer. By the last session, you will understand how to correctly conduct each exercise in your program. At the end of the 4th session, you will be given a program to take with you. At this time, you may choose to purchase additional session with your trainer.
