Small group personal training is becoming ever more popular. A small group of people, typically fewer than ten share a personal trainer. In contrast to large courses that work like a choreography where everybody performs the same exercises synchronously, the trainer doesn’t work out with the clients. This gives him time to focus on coaching everyone individually.
Each participant in the group will perform his individual set of exercises depending on his skill and fitness level. The personal trainer takes care that all movement patterns and exercises are correct and provides valuable knowledge that will make the training very effective. By splitting the costs of the trainer, the participants gain some advantages of personal training for a fraction of the costs.
Saving costs is only one benefit of small group personal training. Another huge advantage is the social factor of training in a group. Having other participants right beside you will push you a little harder. They can offer support and motivation to get you through the workout. Sharing the experience with others and reaching a common goal is both rewarding and fun.
Why don’t you try it ? Pick a sport (fitness, yoga, climbing, whatever you like), gather a few friends and book a personal trainer for some sessions. It will be a great experience!
