I’m interested in personal training at Bethany Athletic Club, what are the first steps I should take? 

You can email aj@bethanyathleticclub.com to receive our free fitness assessment intake form, or you can submit an intake form on our Personal Training page. 

What is a ‘fitness assessment’? 

At Bethany, every member is entitled to a complimentary one-hour consultation with a trainer. We call this our ‘fitness assessment’. In this assessment, we may discuss different aspects of health such as your training goals, training experience, medical history, or any other relevant information. Depending on your goal, you may undergo a brief physical assessment to gauge different metrics of health as they relate to your goal. You may also undergo an InBody assessment which collects data such as body fat percentages, total skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, and other components. The primary goal of this assessment is to make sure both parties (trainer and client) are on the same page about what we’d like to accomplish with training. Once you’ve completed your fitness assessment, you may begin training. 

What types of personal training sessions or packages does Bethany Athletic Club offer? 

We offer personal training sessions in two different time lengths, 30 and 50-minute options. Beyond the duration, we have packages of 4, 12, and 24 sessions. The more minutes and sessions in the training package, the greater the discount will be. When considering which training duration and package is best for you, personal trainers look at different elements such as your training goals, level of fitness, and schedule. Learn more about personal training costs and how to register on our personal training page.

Who can benefit from personal training? 

Anybody. Whether you’re a professional athlete or new to the gym and the world of fitness, personal training is a great resource for helping you efficiently accomplish your fitness goals. Each client will value different aspects of personal training, but many of our clients enjoy the accountability, peace of mind, and professional advice that comes with training. Regardless of where you are in your fitness journey, utilizing a personal trainer is the most efficient and convenient way to accomplish your goals. 

At what age are you able to do personal training at Bethany Athletic Club? 

13 years old. We can make exceptions for younger clients depending on your circumstances. To see whether or not you qualify for an exception, email Bethany Athletic Club’s Fitness Lead, Aj at aj@bethanyathleticclub.com. 

If I’ve had a major injury or surgery, is it safe to start personal training? 

100%. As long as you’ve been cleared by your doctor for physical exercise, personal training can be very advantageous in your recovery to full health. In fact, we strongly recommend master training for individuals that are dealing with past or current injuries and surgeries. For individuals dealing with these ailments, seeking professional help could make a very significant difference in how quickly you can recover to full health. 

How quickly can I start seeing results? 

As with any goal, the harder you work – the faster the results will come. The answer to this is dependent upon your training goals (whether you want to lose/gain 10 or 100 lbs) and your training frequency (working out once per week vs working out 4 times per week).

As a general rule of thumb, for individuals looking to lose/gain 10%+ of their total body weight, we recommend 3+ sessions per week if you want to accomplish your goals quickly. 

Can I request a specific trainer at Bethany Athletic Club? 

Absolutely! Visit our Meet Our Trainer page to explore everyone on the Bethany Athletic Club Personal Training Team. Members are also always encouraged to call us or visit us to discuss and see which trainers align best with your goals and philosophies. So as long as both parties’ schedules align, you are more than welcome to request a specific trainer.
