About Herbert Wellness Center Personal Trainers

Personal trainers at the Herbert Wellness Center are University of Miami students, typically earning degrees in an exercise related field such as exercise science, exercise physiology, sports medicine, or physical therapy. In addition, each trainer is certified through a nationally recognized organization and exhibits practical and intellectual competency and leadership in fitness.

Trainers work under the direct supervision of the Assistant Director, Fitness and Personal Training, and receive regular continuing education to stay up to date on fitness trends and training techniques.

Personal Training Policies

1. Payment for all personal training sessions must be made through the Sales Office. At no time should any form of compensation be made to the trainer by the client as payment for personal training services.
2. All personal training appointments must begin on time and end one hour after the scheduled starting time. Any time lost due to client tardiness is considered part of the appointment and is non-refundable.  Personal trainers are expected to wait 15 minutes for a client at which time it is their discretion whether to keep the appointment.
3. If a client cancels a session within 24 hours of the scheduled meeting time, the client will forfeit that session. If the trainer cancels a session within 24 hours of the scheduled meeting time, the trainer will be required to provide a complimentary session for the inconvenience.
4. Clients must purchase personal training sessions prior to the scheduled session. Personal training sessions expire 6 months after the purchase date.
5. Clients will have full responsibility for their choice of a personal trainer. If the client does not have a preference then the Assistant Director of Personal Training will recommend a trainer. This recommendation is based solely on the personal trainer’s availability and qualifications to meet the client’s goals. A client can request a different trainer at any time.
