Small Group Personal Training
Experience personalized training in a small group environment.
How does it work?
-Start with our Movement Screen, in which we assess your stability and mobility joint-by-joint, and an Inbody Bodyfat Assessment (if desired).
-From there, you'll meet with your primary coach. Your coach will take you through our two-session intro assessment and put together a personalized training program for you tailored to your needs, which will take the guesswork out of making progress.
-Come into our Small Group PT Sessions- 60 minute sessions where you and up to 6 other people train under the watchful eye of a coach. Work through the training plan that your primary coach has put together for you.
-Make progress outside the gym with our nutrition, sleep, and stress management support.
-Check in regularly with your primary coach as you make progress and your training progresses and evolves!

Keys to success
Our most successful small group personal training clients typically exhibit these qualities:
An Interest in Independence
Our small group personal training is perfect for people who want expert input and feedback, but also take pride in making progress on their own.
A Willingness to Work Hard
'Hard' means different things for different people! We're able to figure out what hard should mean for you, based on where you're at today. There are no shortcuts though, and the best results are only achievable through hard work.
Commitment to Making a Change
We look at creating long-term progress over using short-term bandaids. A lifetime of health and wellness only comes from learning life-long skills + habits. Our clients who see the most success tend to hold and maintain this perspective.
What's my investment?
We start out everyone in small group personal training the same:
Intro Personal Training Package
2 Session Personal Training Full-Body Assessment
$199
Those sessions are up to 60 minutes in length. In those sessions we take you through our Movement Screen and Inbody Assessment (if desired), as well as a full body strength, stability, and conditioning assessment. This gives us the information we need to get you started on a training plan customized to your specific needs.
As we begin to work together, we'll get the best sense of what you need in order to reach your goals, and tailor your training accordingly.
FAQ
-
How do I know which service is right for me?Please reach out! Our sales and membership assistants are experts in helping you find your best fit, and in general our approach to fitness is very discovery-based. As we start to work with you and learn more about you, we'll find the perfect fit to help you achieve what you need to achieve at your pace, with the level of hands-on-help you need, and within your budget.
-
Can I mix and match services?Absolutely! Our services and memberships are very flexible in helping you find exactly what you need. We'll often have members do a session of personal training every week to focus on their specific needs, and then supplement with our group fitness classes for their general fitness, or have small group personal training members who supplement on the weekends with our flexibility class. Reach out with a consultation and we can help you find your perfect fit.
-
Can I do my own workout at your gym?Everything we do at both of our locations is instructor-led. This is what we're best at and where we can create the most consistent, safest, and fastest results for people. Because of that, we don't have any 'open-gym' time scheduled at either of our facilities. We have some people who ask if they can do their own workouts to supplement the work they're doing with us- the work we do with people is very comprehensive! Depending on your goals our coaches might assign you homework or recommend you do some additional low-impact steady-state cardio outside of our workouts, but people always get the best results from training when they're resting adequately. If you are interested in an 'open-gym' style gym experience, please reach out- we know some excellent facilities around us that could be a good fit for you!
-
How many times a week do you recommend training?This largely depends on your exercise history and goals. That being said, if you haven't been working out regularly, we typically recommend starting out training 2x a week. Once you've adapted to training (which could take days to months depending on your age, experience level, and exercise history), we find strength training 3x a week to be a sweet spot for making progress. We typically only recommend training 1x a week to people who are looking to supplement a training/sports program that they're doing outside of our facility. Additional cardio can be helpful depending on your goals. Rest and recovery is an important part of getting stronger!

I'm recovering from an injury/ in physical therapy/ have surgery scheduled/ don't know if I'm fit enough to start working out, what should I do?We've worked with people with all types of injuries and medical histories including but not limited to- people with Parkinson's, MS, ACL tears, rotator cuff tears, currently pregnant, hip + knee replacements, sciatica, tendonitis, etc. We have deep and built out protocols for helping people in a variety of different situations. Typically, what we recommend is not waiting to get started working out. Whatever you may be dealing with- letting your fitness slide will rarely make it easier to deal with, and appropriate movement is often the best medicine. Certainly the more specialized your situation is, the more we recommend a personalized approach to training, at least in getting started. We'll often have people come in to us after a surgery, work with one of our coaches in personal training, and then progress to small group personal training or group fitness classes as they start feeling better and more recovered. We also work closely with our members' physical therapists and other medical practitioners when desired. We want to do everything we can to help you get back to feeling healthy and strong!

I have a crazy schedule, will you be able to accommodate me? Should I wait until things calm down to get started?We offer a variety of services at different timeslots, and certainly as our community grows we want to be able to expand and offer more scheduling options. That being said- a lot of people say that they're going to wait until their schedule calms down to start to focus on their fitness. We know from experience- that's not the way to approach things! If you're in a busy season right now- that's the perfect time to start to work on your health and wellness. We will help you navigate that, and you will know that even when things get crazy, you have the strategies and habits built up to maintain your fitness. On the flip side- if you wait for things to be perfect, you'll delay progress, and anytime things get busy for you again you'll fall off the wagon. This makes it difficult if not impossible to achieve and maintain long-term results. Similarly, we're strong believers in 'take care of yourself first'. Often people will let their own health slide in order to accommodate their families and work responsibilities. We know that without a doubt a fitter, more energetic, and happier version of you will be able to show up more fully for your loved ones, and accomplish more in your career. Don't fool yourself- find the time to take care of yourself first! We're experts at logistics. Reach out and we can help you solve your scheduling issues.

What's the kitchen about?We find one of the biggest issues people have with transforming their bodies and improving their health isn't just exercising and knowing WHAT to eat, but figuring out HOW to make that happen. Juggling work, responsibilities, and family can make it very difficult to eat healthy, even if you know exactly what you should be doing. With our kitchen, we want to help people learn more about that 'how' to manage the logistics of healthy eating, but also to provide an answer to that question by supplying our members with healthy, convenient food. Kitchen services coming soon!
