Small Group Training

Small Group, Big Results

Small group training classes are individualized fitness sessions held in a group setting that allow for more specialized attention from the instructor.

    The instructor will design a progressive program based on the needs of the class participants. Class sizes will be kept to 12 participants or less. We offer beginner through advanced opportunities.

    The session runs for 8 weeks and meets twice a week for a total of 16 classes per session. Small Group Training is an affordable option with certified instructors too good to pass up! See session dates and registration below.

    Sessions will begin the week of January 30.

    Students and Faculty/Staff – you can charge the small group training registration fee to your UBill. For this option please complete this form.

    Registration Fees:
    Students $80 ($5/class)
    Members $100 ($6.25/class)
