Small Group Training

Look, Move & Feel Better

Small group training is a great alternative to working out solo and because class sizes are limited, it provides more instructor interaction along with the support and camaraderie of other members. It’s more personal than large group exercise, but never boring! It is important to note that a small group training program needs to be just as specifically and technically designed as a personal training one.

What are some of the benefits of small group training?

Affordable

Small group training allows a personal trainer to work with more people at once, thus dropping the price of the session for the participants to make personalized fitness instruction more affordable.

Adherence & consistency of training

When people exercise in a group, they tend to establish relationships and make friends with other people in the group, helping them become regular participants in group activities. Of course, there are also the elements of fun and competitiveness in a group dynamic, which are present in this kind of training setting.

Education

More personalized, individualized attention enables trainers to educate their clients about their bodies and how to stay fit and healthy.

Small Group Training FAQs

What is Small Group Training?

Small Group Training combines the expert coaching of personal training with the motivation and energy of working alongside others. Each program is designed around a specific goal—building strength, losing fat, improving athletic performance, relieving pain, or increasing overall fitness—so you always know you're training with a purpose.

Who is Small Group Training for?

Small Group Training is for anyone who wants more guidance and better results than working out alone. Whether you're just getting started, returning after time away, or looking to reach the next level, our coaches will help you train safely and confidently.

Is Small Group Training good for beginners?

Absolutely. Every workout can be modified to match your fitness level and experience. Our coaches will teach proper technique, adjust exercises when needed, and make sure you feel comfortable while continuing to challenge you as you improve.

How is Small Group Training different from personal training?

Small Group Training provides expert coaching in a small, supportive group of people working toward similar goals. You'll still receive individual attention and exercise modifications, but you'll also benefit from the motivation, accountability, and camaraderie of training with others—all at a more affordable price than one-on-one personal training.

Will I still receive personalized coaching?

Yes. Although everyone follows the same general workout, our coaches provide individual instruction, adjust exercises to your abilities, and ensure you're training safely and effectively. You'll never feel like you're just another face in the room.

How many people are in each group?

Our Small Group Training sessions are intentionally kept small, with no more than 10 participants. This allows our coaches to provide personal attention while creating an energetic and supportive training environment.

What kind of results can I expect?

Results depend on your goals and consistency, but members commonly lose body fat, build strength, improve endurance, increase muscle, move with less pain, and gain confidence. Most importantly, you'll have a structured plan and a coach to help keep you progressing.

Is Small Group Training better than working out on my own?

For most people, yes. Having scheduled workouts, expert coaching, and a supportive group dramatically increases consistency and accountability. Instead of wondering what to do each day, you'll simply show up, follow the plan, and keep making progress.

How often should I attend?

For the best results, we recommend attending at least two sessions each week. Consistency allows your coach to build on your progress while helping you safely move toward your goals.

How do I get started?

Getting started is easy. Meet with one of our fitness experts, discuss your goals, and we'll recommend the Small Group Training program that's the best fit for you. From there, you'll join a supportive community, follow a proven plan, and start seeing results.
