Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation offers personal training at many of our recreation centers. Sessions are 30 or 60 minutes in length and are scheduled at the convenience of the member(s) and trainer. All personal trainers offer a free consultation; please contact the Fitness & Wellness department to schedule your consultation.
Get started on the right foot reaching your fitness and wellness goals with a 30 minute informational session with a Personal Trainer. They will discuss your health & fitness goals and your past workout history to determine what programs and/or services will best fit your needs and help you to achieve your goals.
To reach your goals, you must know where you're starting from. Fitness assessments are used to determine your current fitness level, training goals, and a strategy for improvement. The fitness assessments are 60 minutes in length and are provided by our nationally accredited certified personal trainers.
To help you get on the road to better health and fitness, our team has created an introductory personal training package that will get you started on the right foot. This package includes a 60-minute fitness assessment and two 45-minute personal training sessions with one of our nationally accredited certified personal trainers.(This package is available for all new Personal Training clients.)
Are you going on vacation and want an exercise routine to complete while you are away? Are you interested in vamping up your current workouts with a more individualized program, but would rather complete the workouts on your own?
Then this is the personal training package for you! This Exercise Prescription package includes an initial assessment session with a personal trainer- to determine what type of programming is going to be needed, a workout program, and a follow-up 30 min session with the personal trainer.
