Small Group Training
Small group training classes are individualized fitness sessions held in a group setting that allow for more specialized attention from the instructor. The instructor will design a progressive program based on the needs of the class participants. Class sizes will be kept to 12 participants or less. We offer beginner through advanced opportunities.
The session runs for 6 weeks and meets twice a week for a total of 12 classes per session. Small Group Training is an affordable option with certified instructors too good to pass up! See session dates and registration below.
Registration Fees:
Students $48 ($4/class)
Members $60 ($5/class)
Students and Faculty/Staff – you can charge the small group training registration fee to your UBill. For this option please complete this form.
