Trainer Certification

All personal trainers are certified by a nationally accredited program. They are also Red Cross CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. Training will be developed to the needs, desires and goals of the client. Clients will have the choice of training frequency and location (private fitness studio, Stuart Field, RecPlex fitness center, etc.).

Program Prerequisites

This program does not involve session or duration contracts of any kind. Once a personal trainer is assigned to a client, they will schedule a fitness assessment and consultation. During the consultation, the client(s) will complete health history forms for medical clearance. 

To participate in UD Campus Recreation personal training, each participant must complete a physical activity readiness questionnaire and general health screening. After completing these forms, the trainer may request a physician's clearance be completed prior to participating in an exercise program.
