Personal Trainers

In order for a personal trainer to design a safe and effective workout, he or she should have education and experience. Being certified through a nationally-recognized certifying agency insures that the trainer is receiving continuing education. All YMCA Personal Trainers are certified by the YMCA or nationally-recognized certifying agency, as well as CPR certified. Meet our trainers:
