Group Training- In It Together

With the cosy festive season upon us, there is no better time to gift our bodies with physical activity... and what better way to do that than in a social environment! Let us introduce you to one of the top 10 trending fitness topics of 2019, Small Group Personal Training.

What is it?

You may have heard of the other popular option of Personal Training. Group training is an offshoot of this which holds the benefit of getting the direct coaching and encouragement from a qualified Fitness Professional, within a fun group environment. That’s right, you don’t have to go through it alone this season. Group training is described by the ACSM as any workout with more than 5 participants. These can be your friends, family, colleagues or even total strangers.

Exercising with a smaller group of people can be a massive encouragement for people who sometimes have trouble motivating themselves to turn up.

Fab 5 benefits of small group training:

1. Motivation.

Put simply, it keeps you accountable and consistent. Exercising with a smaller group of people (on average five to 10) can be a massive encouragement for people who sometimes have trouble motivating themselves to turn up.

2. Variety of exercises.

Being introduced to different types of exercises keeps the workouts interesting and reduces the risk of boredom. Been curious about trying something new? Your trainer can show you how to use that kettlebell or resistance band properly and effectively.

3. Much cheaper than Personal Training.

The cost per hour is significantly lower than hiring a 1-1 session. The more of you there are, the cheaper it gets.

4. More personalised time with your trainer.

This is where group training differs to a studio class. The trainer will still guide and direct your technique and adjust the plan to meet your needs. In fact, you will be able to still have that much needed quality time to work on your own goals.

5. Setting and reaching goals.

This is the best part! You won't be wasting your time or money. You'll be given a plan to follow and a heck of a lot of support to do it in a specific time frame.

When:

Anytime, anyplace!

Where:

Before you ask, no you don’t need to join a gym. There are several different ways in which you can access small group training, so the traditional class set-up is not the only option. Group Training can be done almost anywhere: Online, in the comfort of your home, garden, local events, a local park or community hall.
