Getting Started Package: For those new to personal training, we recommend the Getting Started Package. This package includes a Fitness Assessment and two 1-hour Personal Training Sessions. The Fitness Assessment will identify your areas of need. The two Personal Training sessions will be used to design and teach you how to get the most from your exercise program.

Fitness Assessment: The fitness assessment is a valuable tool when evaluating and designing your exercise program. Your personal trainer will use your results to identify your current fitness level and determine your exercise program focus. A variety of health and fitness categories will be assessed including:

• Resting and exercise heart rates
• Resting and exercise blood pressures
• Muscular endurance and strength
• Aerobic capacity
• Body fat and girth measurements
• Upper and lower body flexibility

Body Composition: Body composition analysis estimates the percentage of body weight that is fat weight and lean weight. This information is useful in achieving specific weight goals and in determining certain health risk factors. Testing will be performed using a skinfold caliper method.

Your Nutrition Coach will evaluate your current eating habits and help you develop a healthy eating plan to achieve your goals.

All MFit staff/trainers have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Exercise Science or an exercise related field.

All trainers are experienced and certified or are required to get certified within 6 months of hire. Many have certifications from premier organizations such as American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

All are CPR/AED certified.

Why certification important?

• The trainer has demonstrated on an examination that they have the skills/knowledge required to provide safe and effective exercise programs
  
  
• Trainers who are certified are required to attend conferences/lectures and earn continuing education credits to maintain their certification. This helps the trainer maintain/improve their knowledge and skills in the field and stay current with the latest research as well.
