Discover the many benefits of small group personal training sessions
With fitness trainer Graham Low
Small group personal training is becoming a really popular way to exercise. It involves a small group of people, normally between two to five, working out together under the guidance of a personal trainer.
There are many benefits to this type of training, and here are just a sample of those advantages.
MORE COST EFFECTIVE
Small group personal training is more cost-effective than one-on-one personal training.
With the cost of personal training sessions often being quite high, small group personal training allows you to share the cost with others, making it more affordable.
However, it still allows you to receive the same level of personal attention and guidance from a personal trainer as you would in a one-on-one session.
SUPPORTIVE & MOTIVATING ENVIRONMENT
Working out with others can help to push you to work harder and achieve your fitness goals faster.
The group dynamic also provides a sense of community and accountability, with everyone in the training sessions encouraging each other to keep going and stay on track to achieve their goals.
PERSONALISED PROGRAMMING
Small group personal training allows for personalised programming.
Each person in the group can have their own personalised workout programme tailored to their fitness level and goals.
The personal trainer can also modify exercises and provide different options based on each individual's needs and limitations.
FUN & SOCIAL ATMOSPHERE
Training in a small group provides a fun and social atmosphere.
Working out with others can make the workout more enjoyable and less intimidating.
It also provides an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends with similar interests.
Small group personal training offers many benefits, including affordability, a supportive and motivating environment, personalised programming, and a fun and social atmosphere.
If you are interested in experiencing these benefits, you should consider joining a small group personal training programme.
At East Coast Fitness, our small group personal training programme offers all of these benefits and more.

NHS ADVICE
Adults should do some type of physical activity every day. Exercise just once or twice a week can reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke.
Speak to your GP first if you have not exercised for some time, or if you have medical conditions or concerns. Make sure your activity and its intensity are appropriate for your fitness.
Adults should aim to: do strengthening activities that work all the major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms) on at least 2 days a week
do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week
spread exercise evenly over 4 to 5 days a week, or every day
reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity
You can also achieve your weekly activity target with:
several short sessions of very vigorous intensity activity
a mix of moderate, vigorous and very vigorous intensity activity
