Personal Training Testimonials

"I'm so appreciative Mines offers personal training -HUGE benefit of working here :)"
-
"I was worried because of my age if a young person could effectively start me on a good training program, but she was great and really provided the push to get back into lifting weights again!"
-
"I appreciated that Kiana did some additional training to help me through my pregnancy, and I have recommended her/personal training to other people I know at Mines who have been pregnant as well. I was in really good shape physically throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, and I think a large part was because of the personal training I did up until I had my baby."
-
"My personal trainer Gordon was an insanely good trainer. I had literally never stepped foot into a gym and the first time io did (the first day of freshmen year) I was immediately discouraged and scarred off, but I decided to get a trainer. Gordon took me to the motion lab which was perfect for me because of the lack of people and held me accountable and taught me how to be effective and more importantly safe in the gym. I am happy to report that I have kept consistent and avoided injury. 10 out of 10 would recommend! Awesome trainer."

 

Buddy Training

Our buddy personal training option is best for those who prefer to workout with a friend. Our nationally certified personal trainers provide motivation, education, guidance and individual instruction to help you improve your overall fitness and achieve your goals. Your trainer will create a customized exercise program for the two of you, and meet with you periodically for sessions.

Online Training

Online training is great for those experienced in the gym but struggling to hit their goals while programming for themselves. Our nationally certified personal trainers will meet with you one time for a fitness assessment, where they'll gather information to help them design an exercise program specific to you. That exercise program will be shared with you via email, for you to follow on your own time. 

We highly recommend personal or buddy training before moving onto online training.

"Colleen is awesome! She helped me plan for consistency in a rigorous exercise plan that was difficult for me to maintain on my own.
