One-on-One Training Packages

Use your one-on-one training package for one sport or mix it up. Packages can be used for a combination of personal Pilates and personal training. 

Personal Training
Looking for a new challenge or need some additional motivation? A nationally certified YMCA Personal Trainer can be just what you need. Our trainers will evaluate your health history and lifestyle to design a program that will specifically meet your needs and help you achieve your goals. Virtual or in-person options available.

Personal Pilates
Practiced faithfully, Pilates yields numerous benefits. Increasing lung capacity and circulation through deep, healthy breathing is a primary focus. Pilates teaches balance and control of the body, which benefits other areas of one’s life.

"I believe the path to health and wellness is a process requiring respect for each individual’s specific needs, allowing our intentions and goals to change as we do. Being fit means more than having a flat stomach and tight gluts; it’s about being strong agile and energetic while having the confidence in our body to do the things we love."
