The best group training for You

group training sessions are essentially the same as personal training, but instead of being one-on-one, members work out in a group of ten or less under one trainer. It’s a popular choice for many people because of its relative affordability and the fact you can train with friends. A group training session consists of anywhere between four to ten people training together. It’s best described as the quality of a personal trainer (PT), at a better price-point, with a small, like-minded community to share experiences and motivation.

Group training is relatively fresh on the fitness scene, and its goal is to provide higher quality training. It allows the PTs to see that their clients will reach their goals safer and faster.

There are three general models of group training: equipment-based, skill-based, or outcome-based.

• Equipment-based group training appeals to people who have preferences concerning the kind of equipment they like, such as kettlebells or suspension training devices.
• Skill-based group training is more for those looking for a targeted approach to individuals preparing for an activity or sport, such as kickboxing or mixed martial arts, marathon training, or ski conditioning.
• Outcome-based group training targets people looking for a specific physical result, i.e., weight loss, wedding preparation, fitting into “skinny jeans,” etc.
