WHY DO WE NEED TO WAIT FOR THE EQUIPMENT ORIENTATION TO BEGIN?

You do not have to however it is recommended.  We want to make sure everyone is aware of how to operate the equipment safely. Attending the equipment orientation let’s us explain in detail how to properly use the equipment and to go over the rules and procedures of the fitness room. It also provides you with an opportunity to ask any questions prior to starting exercise.

 

WHAT IF I WANT SOMEONE TO GIVE ME ADVICE ON WHAT EQUIPMENT TO USE OR EXERCISES TO DO?

BCDA offers all members the option of retaining the services of a certified personal trainer. A personal trainer can complete a personalized fitness assessment based on your individual health needs, create an individualized exercise plan to help you meet your fitness goals, and provide ongoing monitoring, recommendations, and motivation to improve your fitness regime.  

 

PERSONAL TRAINING

A number of different personal training packages are offered depending on the amount of time you want to spend with the trainer.  To work with a personal trainer, you schedule an appointment in the staff office. You will have to pay for your appointment at that time and sign a Cancellation and Lateness Policy. You will also receive a Medical History Form which you need to fill out and bring back with you to your appointment. 

 

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED IN THE FITNESS ROOM?

The BCDA personal trainers will periodically conduct group workshops open to all fitness center members about equipment usage, developing exercise routines, and other related issues.  Check the fitness center bulletin board for specific dates and times of the upcoming workshops and programs.
