As summer rapidly approaches, you may be digging into your drawer to find your swimsuit. Now is the time to start thinking about how that swimsuit will look and feel on you. The Glendale Sports Center understands these types of considerations so they are running a sale to encourage their members to take advantage of personal training. The Glendale Sports Center has always focused on fitness and health but what many may not know is that they offer fitness assessments and personal training for their members.
The fitness assessments are included in the membership and focus on body-composition analysis, equipment orientation, and mini fitness evaluations. This assessment is a good way to gauge where you are on the fitness spectrum and establish a baseline and future benchmark prior to starting an exercise program.
It is recommended that before beginning an exercise program, you undergo a fitness assessment. It provides key information that can be used to develop realistic goals and design an exercise program that will help meet your personal needs and achieve your goals.
When you have created your blueprint, it is time to consider personal training in your master plan. The Glendale Sports Center offers personal training for its members with four different personal trainers on staff with a varying degree of expertise.
Head trainer Beth Eafanti focuses on 30 minute workouts that cater to the busy professional. Deborah Montour trains the older adults who may be part of the SilverSneakers program, and Paul Hogan is a soccer coach who specializes in sports training. The newest trainer on staff, Dan Roake, will train anybody and is considered the most versatile.
These Certified Personal Trainers provide individualized physical conditioning programs based on their clients’ needs and goals. Members can schedule their appointments any time of the day based on their trainer’s schedule.
If you are not sure you need a p
ersonal trainer or are concerned about the financial investment, consider that a personal trainer helps you define your fitness goals. They also offer a personalized workout, instruction, motivation, accountability, variety and efficiency.
When Sports Center members sign up and pay by May 15, 2017, they will receive 10 percent off their personal training package. “We want to make sure people are still using the gym they are paying for,” said Monica Henrichs, Glendale Sports Center Health and Wellness Director. “The summer months have a lot of activities here in Colorado such as hiking, biking, and climbing, and having a personal trainer gear you up for that in May and the beginning of June is helpful.”
Packages range from $58 for one 1-hour session to $635 for 12 sessions and everything in between. The Sports Center also offers buddy packages where two people can split the cost of a one-hour session and receive even more of a discount.
