In the early days of True Fitness, personal training was our bread and butter.
Over time, we realised that 1:1 PT wasn’t always the most effective route to long term results.
Popular time slots were limited, it was expensive and sessions sometimes involved too much chat and not enough training.
Most people don’t need permanent one to one supervision once they’ve learned the basics. Successful coaching should make you more independent, not permanently reliant on your coach to keep you right.
That’s why group coaching made more sense.
We now have a timetable of over 40 coached sessions a week, and there’s always a coach available to help with technique and adjust exercises where needed.
It costs about a third of the price of PT too. You can train three times per week for the cost of one PT session, and for most people, that extra frequency and consistency will produce far better results.
You also become part of a community while still getting support with nutrition and accountability outside the sessions.
One to one PT absolutely has its place for people with complex needs or very specific goals.
But for most people, the aim shouldn’t be to need a personal trainer forever.
It should be about building the habits while gaining the knowledge and confidence to look after yourself.
