Alloy Personal Training Business 3 Debunked Myths About Small Group Personal Training
In our small group personal training fitness model, we come across some questions all the time. These questions revolve around the construct of a small group training and how to do it.
The first question that many people transitioning to small group training have is whether to do individualized training. Rick reckons that having an individual program design for each client makes it tough to coach. The coach cannot deliver a great customer experience while coaching four or six clients individually.
At Alloy, we run the same workout for the whole gym on particular days but with variations to account for injuries, preferences, and other factors that come up when dealing with people. However, the coach is still following the same template, thereby delivering a more pleasant customer experience.
So, debunking the first myth, don’t sweat on individualized program design in a small group personal training.
Listen in as Rick and Matt debunk some more myths around this model and also explain how to walk that tightrope act between science and programming and entertainment to deliver a great client experience.
