Our trainers
Our personal trainers are certified through a nationally accredited organization, the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Binghamton University Campus Recreation has partnered with the ACE to provide the highest quality of education to our student staff of personal trainers.
The educational partnership program ensures we have a staff of highly trained, credentialed fitness professionals ready to make meaningful and positive contributions to the health and fitness industry.
Any individual who trains clients in the Recreation Center must be employed by Campus Recreational Services. Violation of this policy may result in loss of access to the facility for the clients and the unauthorized trainer/instructor.

- You will receive a personal health questionnaire to complete during registration. It will take approximately five business days to process your information after the questionnaire is completed and returned.
- A certified personal trainer will contact you directly to schedule your first appointment. Your trainer will e-mail you pre-testing instructions at least 24 hours prior to your assessment.
Policies
Cancellation policy: If a client wishes to cancel an appointment, they must contact their trainer directly at least 24 hours prior to their appointment. Failure to do so will result in a lost session.
Late policy: Trainers are required to wait 15 minutes for registered clients. If after 15 minutes the client has not contacted the trainer directly or through a staff member of Campus Recreation, the trainer may choose to reschedule the appointment, but is not required to do so. Sessions that begin late due to the late arrival of a registered client will end at the originally scheduled time.
Group training cancellation policy: If one client cancels within 24 hours of a scheduled group session or simply does not show, the session may continue with the remaining client(s). The session will still count toward the package balance for each of the clients.
