Become a personal trainer! RecWell, in partnership with the VCU School of Education, offers a minor in Recreation and Wellness. Elective courses taught by RecWell staff like ACE Prep for Personal Training provide students with the knowledge, skills and practice they need to obtain national certifications to work in a field that they love. Take a course in Spring 2024!
Our Personal Training philosophy focuses on the development of the whole person, centering the physical, mental and social dimensions of well-being. Our certified personal trainers are currently enrolled VCU students who possess varied skill sets and specializations. We develop our students to help develop you. Our staff are with you on your well-being journey, walking with you and not ahead of you. Your goals and perspectives are always at the forefront.
We welcome and celebrate our clients’ diverse backgrounds and life experience through culturally sensitive and adaptive programming.
