Why Personal Training

Take your workouts to the next level with certified personal trainers.

What Personal Training Can Do For You

Our certified Fitness Professionals can, quite literally, help change your life and how you view yourself.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, tone your physique, train for sports competition or recover from injury, our trainers can provide the plan, coaching and motivation to get you there.

Building A Personal Roadmap

Starting with your FREE consultation, your Fit Pro reviews your medical and exercise history, clarifies your goals, tests your strength, endurance and flexibility and recommends a customized workout plan.

From there, you have options - working one-on-one with your trainer on a regular basis, following a recommended routine with occasional check-ins or taking part in specialty classes like our Boot Camp 101.

Hi, I am Cayla Schroeder and am the Fit Pro for Snap Fitness Madison. My mission is to instill in my clients a love of physical activity and an overall healthy lifestyle. I believe that wellness is incorporated in all aspects of life, not only in the gym. With this philosophy, I encourage clients to enjoy nature and workout outdoors, in addition to eating nutritious, quality food. I want to motivate individuals to be stronger, fitter and healthier.

Education: I graduated in 2009 with honors at Augustana College while receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Exercise Science, a Coaching Endorsement and a minor in Psychology. After school, I received my Health Fitness Specialist certification through the American College of Sports Medicine. I am currently enrolled in the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Experience: I started resistance training in high school as a three sport athlete and continued with more complex and difficult exercises as a 4 year Division II volleyball player. These included heavy emphasis on resistance, speed, jumping, and agility work. In Sioux Falls, SD, I worked at two fitness centers and taught cirtuit and core classes and trained a variety of clients. At these facilities I strengthened my knowledge of Bosu ball, phsioball, kettlebell, and free weight exercises. At the same time, I coached volleyball at a Division II school as an assistant coach and implemented their resistance and vertical jump training programs. While in Madison, I also trained at a fitness center where I continued to learn new exercises and gain valuable experience training an assortment of clients.

Interests: I love most sports, quite simply. I regularly play volleyball, tennis, racquetball, badmiton, squash, soccer, and love to run. In addition, I just finished windsurfing class, which I loved! Some of my other passions are hiking ad traveling. My most recent trips this year included visits to The Netherlands, Belguim, Paris, and Hawaii. My favorite hikes ever are to Machu Picchu, Peru and Kaena Point, Hawaii. In Hawaii, I actually skydived for the first time - which I would encourage you to try. I hope to go to Costa Rica this January and to Italy next May if time permits.

My other passion is music. I play the violin and piano and was in choir in college. I have played violin since I was 5 and have played in many weddings and even went to violin camp when I was little! I actually was in the Madison Symphony Chorus last fall, but school was too intense so I had to take a break from choir. Basically, if you enjoy working out, sports, music, hiking, or traveling...come chat!
