Personal Training Application

This program is only available to faculty, staff, and Bellarmine students. Bellarmine employees can take advantage of three complementary personal training sessions*. Students will receive one complementary session. 

Whether you need to lose weight, obtain nutrition advice, get healthy, or start from the very beginning a personal trainer will help you achieve your health and fitness goals!

PAR-Q
Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active. If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you
are not used to being very active, check with your doctor.

Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO

If you answered YES to one or more questions...
You need to provide a letter from your doctor stating that you are able to participate in physical activity, such as a personal training. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered yes. This letter is required by the Director of Campus Recreation before you may participate in the personal training program.

If your health changes so that you then answer yes to any other of the above questions, tell your personal trainer and doctor. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan.
Contact Emily Werner at ewerner@bellarmine.edu if you have any questions.

If you answered NO to all questions...
