Personal Training & Coaching

Personal Training & Coaching

We all need the advice of an expert sometimes, as well as the personal attention to help us meet our goals. The Skagit Valley Family YMCA offers personal training and coaching to help you set and meet your specific goals to live healthier and feel better.

  • Personal Training (60-minute sessions)
    • A personal trainer can help you with a wide variety of goals you might have, such as weight loss, improved cardiovascular health, strength training, and more. In your initial session, the personal trainer will help evaluate your current fitness level, engage in conversation with you about your goals and aspirations, and help you develop a plan for the future!
  • Sleep Coaching (30-minute session)
    • We all know that sleep is important but sometimes it doesn’t come easily. Learn how to identify roadblocks that are preventing you from getting the sleep you need and discover solutions and habits that will help you get more Zzz’s!

Previous Client Testimonial: Working with Elena has been a game changer for me and my wife. We have learned the importance of recognizing “green light,”“yellow light,” and “red light” foods. We learned about the importance of mindful eating, how to cope with stress eating, and the importance of a good night’s sleep. Thanks to her detailed nutritional plan we learned what is our personal healthy caloric deficits. I was surprised how much I could eat and still lose weight. –  Javier
