Personal Training
Due to liability and safety reasons personal trainers
not employed through Butler University's Department of Recreation
are prohibited from conducting personal training in the
HRC. There are no exceptions.
Physical fitness is achieved by choosing to live a lifestyle
that leads to the development of optimal levels of cardiovascular
endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility as well as
achievement and maintenance of ideal body weight. The Personal
Training program strives to serve Butler University through
education and programming that meets the needs of our clients.
Fitness and health risk assessment is included
free with each package.
Our trainers will help you reach your goals with a personalized
program that may include:
- Functional Training - Consists of dynamic
movements that help you to complete everyday tasks while improving
your level of fitness.
- Balance and Core Training - Decrease the risk
of injury by improving your coordination and posture through
training the abdominal region and the lower back muscles.
- Finding Time for Fitness - We'll design a challenging and time
efficient program that meets your fitness goals and fits into your
busy schedule.
- Sport Specific Training - Our trainers can
help you improve your sports performance whether you want to
improve your running time or your golf driving distance.
- Traditional Training - Are you looking to
increase strength, muscle mass or tone up? Traditional training
incorporates free weights, selectorized equipment and more that are
specific to a program that will help you reach your fitness
goals.
