Personal Training

Personal Training can take on many different forms here at UVA! Training could be in the form of the ever-popular one-on-one style, or it could include Partner Training (two individuals), Group Training (three to five individuals), Virtual Training or even create an individualized program for you that you can take and do on your own! Our trainers also conduct Comprehensive Fitness Assessments, Kinotek Movement Analysis and Tanita Body Composition scans! All sessions are led by a nationally certified personal trainer that will incorporate exercise screening, goal-setting and health education. Following an initial fitness consultation, the trainer will then design a challenging workout routine specifically designed for your individual or group needs. Your personal trainer is there to instruct you on proper lifting techniques, introduce you to exercises that target your specific goals and motivate you towards your full potential.

Complete Fitness Assessment

$40 for students and members | $55 for non-members

To reach your goals, you have to know where you are starting from. The Complete Fitness Assessment will put you on the correct path to a healthier lifestyle. The Assessment is comprised of three components: Kinotek® Movement Analysis, Tanita® Body Composition Analysis and a complete goals, medical and exercise history and wants/needs discussion.

The Kinotek® Movement Analysis assessment utilizes an infrared camera to measure your range of motion and movement patterns. Because movement is a foundational aspect of your body, paying attention to it and performing it accurately will help keep you fit for your entire life.

The Tanita® body composition analyzer will measure such items as body fat percentage, total body water, percent of muscle mass, bone weight (important for osteoporosis) and more.

The entire assessment will last about 45-60 minutes.

Kinotek Movement Analysis

$30 for students and members | $40 for non-members

The Kinotek® Movement Analysis assessment utilizes an infrared camera to measure your range of motion and movement patterns. Because movement is a foundational aspect of your body, paying attention to it and performing it accurately will help keep you fit for your entire life.

The Kinotek® camera will measure range of motion around a joint, posture, asymmetries while moving (front to back and side to side) and any movement compensations you may be performing due to weakness, tightness, injury or more. In addition to these numbers, you will receive a personalized Movement Health Report.

Tanita Body Composition Assessment

$10 for students and members | $15 for non-members

Body Composition Analyses are performed using the Tanita DC-430U device. This unit assesses measurements such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, fat free mass, bone mass, total body water, basal metabolic rate and more! The entire assessment takes less than five minutes to perform, come in today to get yours checked!

Group Personal Training

Group Personal Training (including Kinotek®) is a brand new offering through UVA Recreation. This allows you to receive training sessions at a lower price. Group Training operates just like our individual and partner training, only with a couple more people! Each person would first need to complete a comprehensive fitness assessment (included during your first group session), then the workouts would begin! Find your group and contact us today!

Contact fitness@virginia.edu for pricing.

Virtual Training

Virtual Personal Training is the exact same thing as in-person personal training, only it is performed from the comfort of your own space. A nationally certified trainer will meet with you online and conduct one-on-one sessions that include exercise screening, goal-setting, personalized workouts and health education. Following a fitness consultation, the trainer will design a challenging workout routine specifically designed for your individual needs and based on the equipment you have available. Your personal trainer is there to instruct you on proper lifting techniques, introduce you to exercises that target your specific goals and motivate you towards your full potential.

  • This offering is for VIRTUAL training only, no in-person meetings required.
  • Prices are the same as one-on-one training.

Program Design

$80 for students and members | $100 for non-members

If you already work out regularly and feel you can motivate yourself but just need a program to follow, this is for you! A "Program Design" gives you a written four-week long workout that you can follow on your own, plus one individual personal training session and a comprehensive fitness consultation. A nationally certified trainer will meet with you to perform the assessment, then take you through your personalized workout to make sure you understand how to perform all the exercises correctly and safely. After that, the trainer will give you the workout so that you can perform it on your own!
