important information before you GET STARTED:
COMMITMENT: When you register for a one-on-one Personal Training program offering, you are committing to all registered sessions of the program within the program cycle (same days/times). For example, this means that by registering for 12 sessions (2 per week x 6 weeks) with Coach X on Mondays and Thursdays at 5 p.m., you are committing to working with Coach X for 12 60-minute sessions over six weeks, two times per week on Mondays and Thursdays at 5 p.m.
CLIENT INTAKE FORM:
Students and members registering for 1:1 personal training must complete the client intake form.
CONNECT & CONFIRM: Before the first session, assigned coaches will connect with you to set up and confirm your 60-minute training session. These sessions CAN vary weekly if they are agreed upon with your coach in advance. A more permanent time change request can be made if the coach is available and able to accommodate the time request. All requests can be emailed to fitness.performance@utoronto.ca.
CONSISTENCY: Developing consistency and building a habit of movement and exercise is important to achieve your goals, whatever they may be. Therefore, the intention of our Personal Training offerings are to assist you in building a routine of scheduled exercise with one-on-one support of a coach on a weekly basis. With your coach, you will be working together toward your movement and wellness goals with sessions taking place on the same day and time over a period of six weeks.
Missing or Rescheduling a Session
If clients are not able to attend a scheduled session, they are responsible for emailing their coach 24 hours in advance to notify them of the cancellation, otherwise a "no show" will be noted and the session will be charged.
If the coach is available, they can coordinate with you to reschedule the session for the same week at a different time.
No partial refunds are issued for missed sessions unless for medical reasons (see Withdrawal and Refund Deadlines for more details).
All sessions must be completed within the designated program cycles. Sessions will not be carried over into the subsequent term. Exceptions can be made in collaboration with your trainer.
Waitlist, Withdrawal and Refund Policies

Withdrawal and Refund Deadlines
All program withdrawal requests for 1-on-1 Personal Training, including a reason for the request, must be received in writing to fitness.performance@utoronto.ca before the start of the second session (withdrawal deadline).

Medical Referral
If a client is being referred from an exercise/health professional to work with a coach to support with rehab of an injury/illness, they may request for a medical referral form for their exercise/health professional to complete and share more details about the injury/limitations and how a coach can best support.
