The 4 Main Reasons to Train in a Small Group

Many club members want the benefits of a qualified personal trainer. Yet, for one reason or another, one-on-one personal training is not the right fit for them. This is where “small group personal” becomes the perfect solution. Small group training is when a group three to six clients share a training session with a personal trainer. Check out these four huge benefits below.
 

• Accountability

The first major benefit of small group training is accountability. When you not only have you trainer expecting you, but also your teammates counting on you: you tend to show up and do your best. You become not only accountable to your trainer, but to your partners as well. Showing up and giving your best effort is your biggest responsibility in regards to the gym.
 

• Fun

Most humans are social by nature and crave positive social interaction. Working out with a small group of likeminded friends/individuals makes exercise more fun. And if your workouts are more fun, you will come more often, stick with the program, and work harder.
 

• Support

All clients will experience challenges, plateaus, and setbacks from time to time. Also, it’s only normal to have questions and sometimes insecurities.  Your small group of peers will act as a support system. Both during the workouts themselves and at private times. You can share experiences and concerns with one another as well as provide moral support, encouragement, and positive affirmations.
 

• Cost

Personal training does require a financial investment. Your trainer is providing his/her time, passion, and expertise. Yet with small group training, each participant receives a great discount by sharing the session. This makes small group training a tremendous value.
 
Here is a personal testimony from one of my small group training clients.
“Joining my small group for personal training at OneLife Fitness was an awesome decision. At first, I didn’t really know anyone. Yet, workout by workout all of us became great friends. I grew to count on my teammates to help me reach my goals, and I wanted to do the same for them. Working out no longer felt like a chore, it became a highlight of my day.”
