Small Group Personal Training is when one coach works with up to six members at a time. All six members are doing their own individualized workouts, but the coach is overseeing the session and making sure everyone knows how to perform their exercises properly, how to adjust the equipment, etc.

After many years of one-on-one personal training, it became clear that it was unnecessary for the trainer to be constantly hovering over the client and counting their reps for them. We also realized that this one-on-one setting was not conducive to creating autonomy for our clients. Since one of our top prioritize is to empower our members to feel confident and comfortable in the gym, we realized that a small group training model was the perfect way to give them some more freedom and autonomy, but also the coaching and attention that they needed when learning new exercises! Not only that, but working out alongside your peers is always a lot more fun and enjoyable!

A component of many personal training studios that creates a lot of frustration for folks is that you are only able to workout when you’re with a trainer! We didn’t like the idea of limiting the amount of time someone could spend working out on their own, so we incorporated an open gym setting where you can come in and grab your workout program at any time!
