Semi-Private Training

Are you someone who feels you want more than what group classes can offer but wants cost-effective sessions? The Empower Team is working together to offer semi-private training, a unique blend of personal attention and affordability that is more appealing than the cost of one-on-one personal training.

So, what is semi-private training?

Unlike group classes, semi-private sessions are conducted with a smaller group of participants, typically between 3 to 6 individuals. This intimate setting allows for more individualized instruction and feedback from a coach.

So, what are some key benefits of semi-private training?

  • Personalized Programming: The coach designs your program to help you achieve your specific training goals.

  • Personalized Attention: The coach can focus on each participant's goals and needs, ensuring that everyone receives tailored guidance and support.

  • Motivating Atmosphere: The smaller group setting creates a supportive and encouraging environment, helping participants stay motivated and accountable.

  • Affordable Option: Compared to one-on-one training, semi-private sessions offer a more cost-effective way to achieve fitness goals.

Who is it for?

  • Individuals who are seeking focused and personalized training.

  • People who prefer a more intimate training environment.

  • Those looking for a cost-effective alternative to one-on-one training.

  • Groups of friends or family members who want to work out together.
