Personal Training

Virtual personal training allows the client to train when and where they like. Each client receives 30 days of individualized exercise programs designed specifically for the client. Personal trainers meet with each client virtually for an initial consultation and then design weekly workouts tailored to the goals and preferences. During the 30 days, the client has regular contact with their assigned trainer via text and video right from the app on their phone where the workouts are delivered. ECU provides online personal training through the Trainerize App.

30 Day Workout Programs are also available to folks who dont have the time or energy to create their own program. Clients can select from one of the various programs with a specific goal in mind such as strength, endurance, mobility and more, and then receive 30 days of workouts right at their fingertips via the app. All personal trainers are certified through ACE, ACSM, NASM or NSCA. The two fitness coordinators and the senior assistant director of wellness and fitness are all completing the Online Trainers Academy certification. ECU partners with the American Council on Exercise to provide a non-credit instructional program to recruit and train personal trainers.
