- Personal Training is a custom designed workout program including dietary concerns based on a fitness assessment that measures height, weight, blood pressure, static and dynamic strength, and sub-maximal VO2. This is for individuals that want to improve their health and well being, get stronger, or fitter.
- Performance Training is for those individuals that routinely take part in competitive events of any nature. After a thorough assessment including height, weight, blood pressure, static and dynamic strength, and sub-maximal VO2, a program is individually designed to meet their athletic or competitive goals.
- Circuit Training is similar to "Curves" and involves training specifically designed to get de-conditioned or out-of-shape individuals ready to participate in a more rigorous exercise program. This is a great program for those that have never been fitness fanatics, mothers after childbirth, and those that just need to get back into shape.

Volksmarch
To inaugurate the superb walking trail that was installed this past fall in and around the Sheridan/Pershing Road parade fields and the Old Fort Bliss Education Center, MWR will host a Volksmarch on Saturday May 31. Everyone is welcome! Participants will choose their pace and walk 5 or 10 kilometers (3/6.2 miles) on the new path. MWR will offer a medal as an incentive award and souvenir of the event. Since this Volksmarch will be an AVA sanctioned event, distances and event participation can be recorded in the IVV record books. At the walk there will be check points along the route where you can get water and rest. A small fee will be required in order to receive the incentive award. Start time will begin from 8-11 a.m. and the start and stop point will be at the Officers Club parking lot where beverages and food will be available for purchase.
