THE FORMAT

What Is Small Group Personal Training?

Small group personal training delivers customized programming, hands-on form correction, and progress tracking to two to four individuals simultaneously. You get the premium benefits of 1-on-1 coaching at a reduced per-session cost, combined with the built-in accountability of a dedicated team environment.

WHO IT'S FOR

Is Small Group Training Right for You?

This format is built for couples, friends, coworkers, or solo clients who want elite coaching with built-in accountability at a sustainable price point. If you train harder when people are counting on you to show up, this close-knit group setup is designed for your success.

Couples & Partners

Train with a spouse, friend, or coworker utilizing a shared schedule and a shared physical push.

Built-In Accountability

Join a small group that expects you to show up, making skipping workouts significantly harder.

Coached, Not Crowded

Sessions are strictly limited to two to four people. I see every single rep; this is not a 30-person bootcamp.

HOW SESSIONS RUN

What a Small Group Session Looks Like

Everyone trains under the exact same session structure, but every individual utilizes different weights and progressions. A complete beginner and an experienced lifter can easily share the room and both receive an elite, customized workout tailored to their specific capability.

Warm-Up and Movement Prep

We start together with targeted mobility work aimed at what the session demands, integrating individual cues for your specific body limitations before loading.

The Strength Block

The core of the session features identical movement patterns across the group, but with individual weights per person. You rest while your partners lift, keeping the pacing honest.

Conditioning and Finishers

Partner formats close out the workout using a shared clock. This is where the group dynamic beats training alone, because nobody coasts with a partner waiting on them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people are in each group?

Two to four. That cap is the product: everyone gets coached on every lift, and nobody disappears into a class.

Can I join alone, or do I need to bring people?

Both work. Bring a spouse, friend, or coworkers and train as your own group, or join solo and I will place you with a compatible group when a spot opens.

Is small group training as effective as 1-on-1?

For most goals, yes, as long as the group stays small enough for real coaching, which is why mine cap at four. You follow programming scaled to your level. People chasing highly specific goals or training around an injury usually do better in 1-on-1 sessions, and I will tell you honestly which fits.

What does small group training cost?

Less per session than 1-on-1 coaching, since the group shares the session. Exact rates depend on group size and schedule. Ask in a free consultation and you will get a straight number.

What fitness level do I need to join?

Any level. Everyone follows the same session structure at their own loads and progressions, so a beginner and an experienced lifter can train side by side and both get worked.
