One-On-One
Personal Training

Congratulations on taking the first step toward a healthier you!
Here’s how to get started with personal training:

First, complete a new client packet.
Bring your completed packet to the SRC front counter (where you can also purchase your initial consultation for $20).
A personal trainer will contact you within one week to schedule your initial consultation. You and your trainer will go over your health history and current fitness/nutrition habits. You will complete a health screening and a body composition/fitness assessment in order to set a baseline for your program.
You and your personal trainer will choose an ideal training session package.
Your training sessions will start! Training sessions take place at the UCR Student Rec Center.
