Personal training is individualized coaching designed to help you reach your personal goals. Your trainer will provide you with guidance, motivation, and education to ensure that you are working to your fullest potential and doing it safely and effectively.

The individual attention and instruction you receive from our certified trainers will ensure results as well as proper form, program design, and biomechanics. Whether you are tackling a new challenge, trying to break through a plateau, or venturing into the gym for the first time, you'll maximize your results and minimize your risk of injury. Scheduling is convenient, and the motivation is unparalleled.

The Total Fitness Package (TFP) is Cheetah Gym's way of getting you started with a trainer in the most affordable way. The $119 TFP includes an initial consultation with your trainer, and 3 personal training sessions. To register for a TFP please ask any member of our front desk staff.

Total Pilates Package (TPP) one time purchase per member only $150

The Total Pilates Package includes three 1:1 private pilates sessions. The emphasis is on learning the basic principles of pilates on the reformer machines. Reformer classes remain FREE to our members (offered at our Edgewater location only) and you will not find free reformer classes elsewhere! You are eligible to begin taking reformer classes once you have completed your the Total Pilates Package (TPP) AND have received APPROVAL from your instructor. Approval is warranted once demonstration of appropriate knowledge and ability to safely perform basic standardized beginner exercises on the reformer machine is observed. On average it takes a minimum of three 1:1 sessions (a/k/a the TPP) for most participants to acquire eligibility to begin reformer classes. This package is offered to our members at a discounted rate in order to begin those FREE reformer classes! Interested members may contact the front desk at our Edgewater location for full details.

The best way to get started is by purchasing the TFP (as described above). Once you have filled out the paperwork (including a health and exercise history form) and paid for your TFP, one of our trainers will contact you directly to schedule your first session.

Our trainers all have profiles and pictures on the Cheetah Gym website. You are welcome to read about their backgrounds, qualifications, and training philosophies and decide if one of the trainers most appeals to you. On your TFP form there is a space where you can request a specific trainer or simply request a male or female trainer if you prefer. We always try to match you with your preferred trainer, however, if availability is a problem we will do our best to ensure you are assigned a trainer with a similar training style.

Non-members are welcome to work with a trainer after the payment of a day fee. The day fee is currently $15 ($12 if you are with a member). This fee is in addition to the fee for training for each session.

Is training still an option for me? Yes. Please list your physical restrictions in the appropriate space on the TFP paperwork. We will match you with a trainer who has the experience to work within your restrictions. We will relay your information to your trainer, who will design a program to safely fit your needs and limitations.

We require a doctor's approval for women who are pregnant or have given birth within the last 12 weeks. We also require a doctor's permission for people with serious medical conditions.

Yes. Upon request, your trainer can create a cardio training program for you to use on your own.

It varies depending on your goals. Most people meet with their trainer between one and three times per week.

Training packages are a great way to save money, since the per-session price decreases for a 6-pack or 12-pack.

You should wear clothing that is comfortable, breathable and stretchable. Women should wear a form fitting sports bra underneath their clothing for support. Cotton socks with cross-training shoes are best. Running shoes are not ideal since they do not support lateral flexion and movement. Hair should be pulled back so that it does not get caught in equipment cables and weights.

Trainers are differentiated based on education, certification, years of experience, skillset and overall training ability.

Absolutely not. All of trainers are skilled in working with clients of many different levels. Where you are going with your fitness goals is more important than where you are starting from. Everyone needs to start somewhere. Why not start your journey today.
