Personal trainer services

Personal trainer is an exercise coach who helps their customers to achieve goals in for example gym training. Only the people who have paid the CampusSport’s sports fee can use the personal trainer services.

Services are available as individual appointments and as group appointments for two people or for small groups (3–6 people). An appointment lasts for 45–60 minutes, depending on the customer’s needs.

I also hold instructed workout classes. In the past years, I have coached many people who have noticed the effects of sitting down a lot in their bodies.
