Session Times/Tardiness
Sessions will be set for 30 or 60 minutes. Clients are expected to begin working out at the start time of the scheduled appointment. If a client arrives late, the session will still end at the scheduled time; no time will be added at the end of the session. If a client is more than 15 minutes late for a session, the session is subject to cancellation and the client will be charged for a full session.

Clients must communicate with their trainer directly at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment to cancel or reschedule. If no contact is made within 24 hours, the client will be charged for the session.

Outside Personal Training
Only UREC Personal Trainers are allowed to train clients who have purchased training sessions through UREC in the Klotsche Center/Pavilion. Violation of this policy may result in termination of UREC privileges.
Partner Training
Please note that prices include ONE client, so each individual must purchase a package before being assigned to a trainer. Completing a Personal Fitness Profile is a prerequisite for the first session, which must be done together based on the goal of the training sessions. For more information, please contact El Russell at russelek@uwm.edu
Fitness Assessments
Personal Fitness Profile
Our expert trainers will collaborate with you to define specific health and fitness objectives. This assessment includes measures of resting heart rate, blood pressure, body composition, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. A fitness test is a great way to establish a baseline that you can use to assess your progress.

Fitness Orientation
If you are new to the weight room or want a refresher on how to utilize our machines, sign up for a FREE 45-minute Fitness Orientation! Our Fitness Specialists will lead your group through a circuit of 8-10 of our selectorized and plate-loaded machines.
Registration is first-come, first-served. Registration opens 7 days in advance and closes 1-hour prior to the session. If you register but are unable to attend, you must cancel your registration at least 2 hours before the session. Late cancellations or no-shows will result in the loss of sign-up privileges for Fitness Orientations.
*Please note: if you are looking for help with dumbbell/barbell movements, program guidance, form assistance, or any other personalized fitness information, you will need to sign up for Personal Training, as this is not covered in a Fitness Orientation. For questions, please contact russelek@uwm.edu.
Body Composition Screening
Body Composition refers to the proportion of fat mass and fat-free or lean mass in your body. Our Fitness specialists can assess your approximate body fat percentage utilizing skin-fold calipers. To ensure the accuracy of the assessment, we recommend refraining from strenuous physical activity for 24 hours before your appointment. Drop by the fitness center to request yours today!
