Fitness Assessments & Consultations
Hiring a trainer can help you set goals, develop your exercise plan, and monitor your progress. You may only need 3 sessions to get you off on the right foot, or you may decide that regular appointments are ideal to keep you on the road to fitness. The information below is a guide, but not a comprehensive list of programs.

Programs
Fitness Assessment & Consultations:
New clients start their training with 2 or 3, one-hour sessions, which include a fitness assessment & program instruction. The first session is the fitness assessment, and it consists of body fat, strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular testing. Stevyn will use these results to set goals and design your program based on your strengths and weaknesses.
During the next 1 or 2 sessions (depending on your exercise experience) you will receive a results report and learn how to execute your new program safely and effectively on your own. These assessment and consultation sessions are $70 per hour. Re-assessments & program changes (which take 1 hr) should occur every 3-4 months.
Training:
If you would benefit from additional training, you can continue with a trainer 1 to 3 times per week. These follow up sessions are sold in 6-week packages at the discounted price of $60 per hour with Stevyn or $55 per hour with another qualified trainer. Payment is due at the first session of a package to reserve all scheduled appointments, and packages expire 6 months from purchase. If you want to purchase less than 6 sessions, each session is $70 per hour. Re-assessments and program changes (which take 1 hr) should occur every 3-4 months.
