Frequently Asked Questions

May I request a specific Personal Trainer?
Students and Rec Members may request a specific Personal Trainer; however, we cannot guarantee an exact match.  The personal training staff will do its best to pair trainers and clients appropriately based on goals, availability and client preference.
May I purchase a Personal Training package without being a student or Rec Member?
YES! Please review our Non-Member pricing above. Be sure to select the appropriate option if  checking out online  (You will want to select a package that is labeled: “Community Member, Household Adult, Alumni”). Remember: purchasing a Recreation Center Membership may benefit you in the long run, with reduce Personal Training prices and full access to our facilities outside of your scheduled training sessions. For additional information about Memberships to the Recreation & Fitness Center, please contact the Membership Office at  campusrec@rjval.com  or 561-297-4512.
May I upgrade my Personal Training package after I have already started sessions with my trainer?
A client may choose to “upgrade” his or her personal training package at any point prior to using 50% of the sessions purchased.  At this point, the client will pay the difference between the original and upgraded package.  After using 50% of the sessions purchased, a client must complete the initial package prior to purchasing additional sessions. 
How many times per week do I meet with my trainer?
Personal Trainers will make recommendations to clients based on goals and time constraints; however, it is ultimately up to the client to decide how many times per week to meet.  Training schedules are typically discussed between the trainer and client during the initial consultation before the first training session.
If I graduate or move, will I be reimbursed for unused sessions?
All Personal Training packages are non-refundable and non-transferable.  Clients will not be reimbursed for unused sessions. Sessions will expire 12 months after purchase date.
What happens if I miss a scheduled session with my personal trainer?
If a trainer is not notified at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule a session, the session will count against the client’s package.
