Joining a health club can be an overwhelming experience. There are so many different classes, types of equipment and exercises. Which ones are right for you? At the River Valley Club, our staff feel passionately about starting you off on the right foot.

We begin this process by providing our members with a Fitness Consultation. You will spend 90 minutes with one of our fitness consultants, who evaluate your individual needs through health history, body composition, circumference measurements and moderate cardiovascular and strength endurance testing. Your results are then analyzed through our Profitness software to produce a comprehensive prescription which will accurately document your fitness levels. This prescription is used by our consultants and trainers to help customize a fitness program for you, based on your individual needs, and to track your progress throughout your program. For more information on the Fitness Consultation process, please visit Profitness .

The River Valley Club has a dynamic team of 26 nationally certified Personal Trainers. Our programs vary from weight loss, strength training and sports conditioning, toning, muscle mass, post rehab injuries, sports performance, and even junior training. No matter what your physical need, our staff are here to help you achieve your fitness goals.

So don’t wait! Make the most of your membership and wellness by contacting Cassie Armstead at ext. 162 or email personaltraining@rivervalleyclub.com to schedule your fitness consultation appointment. The River Valley Club’s Fitness team looks forward to assisting you and seeing you reach all of your fitness goals.
