About Personal Training
Sometimes, a little help and motivation go a long way on the road to overall fitness. Through our 1:1 Personal Training a certified personal trainer will guide you through routine 1:1 workout sessions tailored to meet your fitness goals.

About our Certified Personal Trainers
All of our trainers are certified fitness professionals and hold a NCCA accredited personal training certification. All trainers have also completed our in-house personal training prep course, BuckeyePT Prep. BuckeyePT Prep teaches our trainers the hands-on coaching related skills as well as fundamental knowledge for exercise and personal training. Our personal trainer staff is comprised entirely of Ohio State student employees. Our employees are undergrad students with limited availability, which is why all personal training requests will be put on a waitlist. You may also receive a new personal trainer if your current trainer were to graduate.
