PULSE houses 20 educated certified degreed professional personal trainers. The trainers are all experienced in "training and conditioning" of the human body. Personal training at the PULSE is for all types of people, with all different types of goals, to be achieved.

Our trainers are very diversified. We offer both male and female trainers, between the ages of 20 and 50 years old. Each serves a unique niche and one of them can help you develop an effective program that matches your personal goals. Our trainers can help you with everything from simple training to sport specific training, rehabilitation of injuries, disability training, etc...

PULSE trainers are required to be educated and experienced. They have a range of experience: B.A., B.S., Masters Degrees, and PhDs. They must maintain the following:

- All must hold a current personal training certificate.
- Most hold degrees in a related field.
- All must have an athletic background and/or a teaching background.
- All must continue to take exercise and science related course work.

PULSE trainers are here to serve all members of all populations. They understand the importance of the proper program design for each individual, and realize everyone has a unique metabolic profile meaning that what works for one individual may not work for another. The PULSE trainers are here to design a program that will ensure continued success for each client.

PULSE Equipment
The PULSE weight room is the most complete in town! Most clubs have two of each machine, but PULSE has at least 3-5 of every machine. Clients benefit by not having to wait for equipment.

Fitness Testing
Fitness testing is designed to give the client an idea of what kind of physical shape they are in before starting a workout program. We do body fat composition helping clients to measure accurate body fat versus lean muscle mass.

We encourage clients to take the Fitness Assessment before beginning their workout program and re-test every 8-12 weeks.
