How small-group training helps keep you motivated

Want to improve your fitness but don’t know where to get started? Maybe it’s time to consider a small-group training fitness class. Perhaps you’ve heard of small-group training classes but have been too intimidated by the thought of working with other people. We understand that trying any new thing can be intimidating, but a small-group training class can be more welcoming and delightful than you might realize.

Small-group training sessions are led by one trainer who works with small groups of around 10 people or fewer. Groups can meet up once or twice per week for several weeks to help the participants reach their goals and develop a sense of community.

Thinking that small-group training may be right for you after all? Here are some more facts you should know about how small-group training can help keep you motivated.

How small-group training motivates you to reach your goals

  • Accountability — When left to your own devices, it’s easy to skip a session or lose track entirely of your exercising routine. Small-group training classes help keep you accountable to stay on track. Your trainer can help keep you motivated by encouraging you and going over your progress with you. Your classmates can keep you motivated and accountable by checking in on you and encouraging you.
  • Personal attention — In a small-group setting, a trainer can observe everyone’s performance and make personal suggestions for improvement or encouragement. They can identify areas that need work that you may not be able to identify on your own.
  • Budget — While we at SOL know that working one-on-one with a personal trainer is an excellent option for improving your fitness, we understand it doesn’t work for everyone’s budget. Small-group training classes are generally more affordable than one-on-one training, so if you don’t need the highly personalized attention of a personal trainer, a small-group class may be better for you.
  • Community — Working hard with other people to reach similar goals is a bonding experience. Your small-group class can turn into a community of friends who encourage one another and even spend time with each other outside of your sessions.
