Register for fitness training

Get started with a personal trainer

Book 1, 3, 5, or 10 sessions, either privately or with a friend. Your first session may include a discussion of your goals, an assessment of your fitness level, an introduction to the equipment, and suggestions for proceeding. Session times depend on trainer availability and facility hours.

The following procedure applies to most fitness centres, but some centres may ask for different documents and offer different services. Confirm with the centre of your choice when you register.
