Get the personal attention, motivation and expertise you need to achieve your health and fitness goals with YMCA personal training.

Our nationally certified YMCA personal trainers are here to serve you and help you reach your fitness goals.

Plus, they're hired for their passion and commitment to upholding the Y's mission to help you reach your fullest potential.

The YMCA understands that everyone is not at the same fitness level, so we accommodate you at your specific level of fitness. Whether you are an avid exerciser or a beginner, you can feel confident knowing that our personal trainers ensure you are being trained in a safe environment and at a comfortable pace. We can assist you with single sessions for those who are self-motivated and just need to get started, or multiple sessions for those who need a little more motivation and coaching.

Personal training sessions are available to YMCA members only, are by appointment only (typically with a 24-hour cancellation policy), and may be provided by YMCA staff trainers only (members may not bring their own personal trainers).

Fees: $40/hour or you may purchase 10 sessions for $375
