Personal Training FAQs: 

Please find below answers to some of our most frequently asked questions regarding personal training. If you have a question that you don’t see answered below or you’d like to sign up for personal training, please fill out this web form below or contact Alyse Kominakis, Wellness Director at akominakis@valpoymca.org or 219-462-4185 ext. 235. 

• How do I sign up for a personal trainer?

  • Fill out the web form below or contact Alyse Kominakis, Wellness Director at akominakis@valpoymca.org or 219-462-4185 ext. 235. The wellness director will pair you with a trainer that matches your goals and availability, and a personal trainer will contact you within 48 hours to set up a free assessment. 

• How many times per week do I train? 

  • It depends on your goals, availability, and the level of commitment you are comfortable making. Before you sign a personal training contract, you will talk with your trainer about the best plan for you. You must train a minimum amount of 3 times per month, but beyond that, your plan is 100% customizable. 

• Do I have to sign a contract? 

  • You will sign a contract, but it can be for as little as 1 month, for 3 months, or for as long as 6 months. After your contract ends, you can renew for the same length of time or increase or decrease your contract. 

• How do I pay for a personal trainer? 

  • After you meet with your personal trainer for an assessment, decide how many times per month you’d like to train, and choose how long of a contract you’d like to sign, your bank account or credit card will be drafted on a monthly basis for the amount of your contract. 

• What if I get hurt, go on vacation, or can’t continue training? 

  • You can put your contract on hold for extended travel, injury, or an unexpected emergency with no penalty. 

• Where do I find information on pricing? 

  • Personal training rates can be found above on this page! Prices listed are per session and differ depending on the length of contract you decide to sign (price per session decreases when the length of the contract increases to incentivize a longer commitment to training) 

• Can I see the personal training studio? 

  • Yes! Please ask for a tour at the front desk. There is someone available at the YMCA to give you a tour any time the building is open. 

• Am I too (insert insecurity here) for personal training? 

  • We have personal training clients as young as 10 all the way to well into their 80s. We have clients who are trying to lose weight, gain weight, or they don’t care about weight and have another goal entirely. Our trainers all have unique training styles, abilities, and specializations, but personal training is for anyone and there is a trainer at the Y for everyone!
