About the Personal Training Program

Washburn University’s Personal Trainer program is a brand-new service offered at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center (SRWC) through the fitness and wellness program. The SRWC created this program to engage, educate, and empower our members. This FREE service is available to any SRWC member (students, faculty/staff) to receive 6 weeks of one-on-one training with a personal trainer.

After the 6-week individualized training block, all clients receive a 4-week progressive program that allows them to continue working towards their goals and improving upon their fitness abilities created in the training sessions. Trainers in the program completed 4 weeks, 8 classes, 16 hours of course preparation twice a week to prepare to train clients.

Not only does this service provide free personal training it offers an opportunity for Washburn students to receive hands on experience applying what they learn from the classroom into practical application.
