Why Our Clients Love Small Group Training
Some people come to Park Avenue Fitness knowing they want to join a small group, usually because they already know someone in the group. However, most new clients want one-on-one sessions and don’t always understand the benefits of small groups. We totally get it, working in a new group can be nerve-wracking, but most of our clients truly enjoy their small group classes. Here’s why we think you’ll love it too.
Twice as Much Workout for Half the Price
Personal training can be a significant investment; we know this, so we offer competitive pricing. For some, this might not be enough or only allows them to work out once a week. In these cases, we suggest small group training to get them in the door twice or thrice a week.
Let’s break down the math. We offer 25-minute one-on-one sessions for $60 and 50-minute sessions for $90. We only offer 50-minute sessions for small group training at a rate of $55 per person. So, for 5 dollars less, you get an extra 20 minutes tacked onto your workout. It doesn’t sound like a lot initially, but let’s look at the package rates. For 8 sessions, you’ll get an extra 220 minutes (approximately 3.3 hours) for $240 less.
That's a significant saving that you can put towards other fitness goals or even treat yourself!
Still a Personalized Workout
Many new clients worry they’ll lose out on a personalized workout because it's group training, assuming it will be similar to a class at a gym. We’re here to tell you that isn’t true!
In a class environment, you won’t get one-on-one adjustments from the instructor, and they certainly won’t be spotting you. Can you imagine trying to spot 20 people at a time? This also means they won’t be taking the time to ensure that you’re completing exercises with the correct form—which helps prevent injuries and encourages proper muscle growth. Instructors for a small group session will have one game plan for everyone attending, they won’t have individual exercises for anyone.
Small groups are capped at 4 or 5 clients during any training session. With only a handful of clients to keep track of, the trainer canpay attention to everyone, giving adjustments and spotting you when necessary. In a small group, your trainer will write a program that works for the clients coming to the session, even if it means having people do different workouts entirely. The trainer will consider your fitness goals and individual injuries and health issues when writing the program.
We Place You in a Group You’ll Love
When you decide to try out small group training at Park Avenue Fitness, we place you with a small group that shares similar fitness abilities and goals. For instance, if you need to work on balance, we match you with a group that regularly works on balance.
We’ll also recommend the group or groups we think you’ll enjoy the most. Small group workouts can be super fun! Most of the time, we can hear bursts of laughter through the studio walls. Some groups are formed by clients asking their friends to join, and some groups become friends over time. But one thing is for certain: having a fun group to work out with gives you something to look forward to instead of a chore to cross off your list.
Whether you work one-on-one with a trainer or are ready to transition to small group training, we’re sure you’ll love working with us.
