WHAT IT IS

Small Group, Individual Program

Semi-private personal training for adults, youth, and athletes.

Instead of workouts being displayed on a whiteboard, we now have tablets for each person in the group, and you get your own individualized version of the workout uploaded to track your weight, trainer notes, and more.

We do this to stand out from the other boot camp studios near us, and to personalize the workouts so they are closer to one-on-one training compared to traditional group classes that are larger.

WHY IT WORKS

What the Tablet Changes

Instead of one workout on a whiteboard, every member has their own tablet mounted at their station, loaded with their individualized version of the day's workout.

Your Workout of the Day

Every member's own workout loads on their tablet, with sets, reps and the weight they lifted today.

The Movement Matrix

Every exercise has levels, from easier to harder. Your coach picks the version of each move that fits you today.

Your Own Workout, Not the Room's

Everyone in the group is working their own program. Yours is uploaded before you arrive, built from your movement screen.

Every Weight, Written Down

Your loads and your trainer's notes are tracked on your tablet session by session, so progress is a record rather than a guess.

Coached, Not Just Supervised

A coach is on the floor correcting alignment and form while you work, which is the part a larger class cannot give you.

IS THIS YOU

Built for Professionals Who Want the Detail

Who it's for

Professionals roughly 35 to 60 who want a more personalized experience than a traditional boot camp. People who appreciate paying a little more for a higher-end experience. And people dealing with daily aches and pains, who want the programming to account for them.

What to expect

Sessions run 55 minutes. You train one, two or three times a week depending on the option you choose. You start with a functional movement screen and a strategy session, and we check in monthly with an InBody scan, circumference measurements and a nutritional check-in.

QUESTIONS

Semi-Private Questions, Answered

No. In our semi-private program each person trains from their own tablet with their own individualized version of that day's workout — your weights and your trainer's notes are tracked on it. That is what makes it much closer to one-on-one training than a traditional, larger group class.
