Is personal training right for you
Our Personal trainers are here to help you reach your fitness goals, whatever they might be. Personal training isn't just about getting fit, but finding the right fit.
Who are our trainers?

Each CSEP-certified trainer needs:
- 120 credit hours of post-secondary education
- 100 hours of practical experience in health-related fitness
- 30 professional development credits every two-years
- 8 core competency areas addressing theoretical and practical knowledge
