Best Personal Trainers in Charlottesville, VA

When you join Clay for personal training or classes, you are committing to your health and well-being. We want to support you anyway we can, but we understand that life happens and things occur that are out of your control. If you find that you need to be away from Clay for an extended period of time, we will hold your funds in your Clay account until you are able to return. This also helps you be accountable to yourself and your health and fitness goals. In general, we have a No Refund Policy except in a case of emergency.

Yes, payments can be broken up into installments for a fee of $20, due with your first installment for that 12-week session. Usually, first payments are made one month before classes start, and then monthly after that. Clients who wish to set up installment payment plans should contact Amy.

Whether you are a personal training client (doing at least one hour of regular PT each week) or a client enrolled in one or several of our classes, we believe that you will support your effort at Clay with outside work. We are happy to provide you with a customized plan for every season and based on the goals and limitations you share with us. Our custom homework plans take into considerations your schedule, access to equipment, and your goals and availability for training. We use heart rate monitors and our assessments to make it clear what you are capable of and what you should be shooting for to progress towards a successful season of training.

We ask that all of our clients in personal training and group classes purchase a heart rate monitor for their time with us and for use during their exercise away from Clay. We find it to be a crucial tool for assessing effort and cardiovascular fitness. We sell the Polar FT4 monitors at a lower price than online or local retailers because we believe in their efficacy and utility in making your workouts more focused and we want them to be easily available to all of our clients.

We have two privates showers in the studio space. They are available for client use after every class and we have body wash and shampoo stocked in each one. We have hand towels for clients to use during classes, but no large towels for showering. Please bring your own bath towel if you prefer to shower at Clay.
