Students from NC’s Fitness and Health Promotion program are offering free personal training to staff, students and community members to help them reach their fitness goals in 2019.
Applications are being accepted by those who are willing to commit to fitness assessments and weekly personal training sessions at the Welland Campus between February and April.
“Students in the program have been offering free personal training to the College community for 14 years. This year we will be accepting approximately 85 participants for personal training,” said Michael Hart, professor within NC’s Fitness and Health Promotion program.
All are welcome to apply, regardless of your fitness status, exercise goals, or previous participation in the program. Those who are accepted as clients will work with a second-year student from the college’s Fitness and Health Promotion program under the supervision of program faculty.
Each client will receive an initial fitness assessment, a free 50-minute training session each week for 11 weeks (between the weeks of Feb. 4 and Apr. 18, inclusive), a personalized full-week training plan (to be completed outside of the college), a fitness assessment at the end of the program, as well as counseling along the way. There is no cost to participate.
“Our students benefit from working with a wide range of clients to prepare them for their careers in the fitness industry. Participants get individual fitness plans and training sessions at no cost from students who are trained to meet national industry certification standards,” said Hart.
Community residents from all fitness levels are encouraged to apply. Student trainers will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants must meet specific participation requirements to be accepted as clients. View details and application instructions here: 1427 PT Client Recruit 18-19.
All training sessions will take place at Niagara College’s Welland Campus.
