Whether you’re just getting started, working toward a major fitness goal, or looking for a fresh challenge, personal training at the Keene Family YMCA can help you take the next step.
For some, that means building confidence in the wellness center and learning how to use equipment safely and effectively. For others, it means breaking through a plateau, training for a race or event, improving athletic performance, or simply finding new ways to stay motivated.
Wherever you are in your fitness journey, our personal training team is here to help you move forward.
At the Y, personal training is about more than just exercise. It’s about having expert guidance, personalized support, and a plan designed specifically for your goals. Our certified trainers work with you one-on-one to create a program tailored to your needs, helping you build strength, improve endurance, enhance mobility, and stay accountable along the way.
Training Options for Every Goal
We offer a variety of personal training options so you can choose the experience that works best for you.

Buddy Training is a great option for friends, spouses, or workout partners who want to train together. You’ll enjoy the motivation and accountability of a shared experience while still receiving expert instruction.

Specialized Support: Corrective Exercise & Assessments
For those dealing with pain, movement limitations, or recurring discomfort, our newest offering provides a highly specialized approach to wellness.
Led by Human Movement Specialist Dave Olson, our Corrective Exercise & Assessment program helps individuals restore proper movement patterns, improve mobility, and build lasting strength. Through detailed assessments and targeted training, Dave identifies areas of imbalance or restriction and develops a personalized plan to help clients move more efficiently and comfortably.
This work goes beyond traditional exercise. By integrating movement science, breathing techniques, and scar tissue release therapy, Dave helps clients address the root causes of dysfunction—not just the symptoms. The result is improved movement, reduced discomfort, and greater confidence in everyday life.
What truly sets Dave apart is his approach. Clients consistently describe him as knowledgeable, attentive, and deeply committed to their success. He’s known for meeting people where they are, listening carefully, and helping them understand their bodies in a way that feels empowering. His humble, thoughtful style has earned him a devoted following—and more than a few glowing reviews.
