The Small Group Effect: How Training Together Can Lead to Big Results

At Avos Strength, we believe that strength and fitness are about more than just the weight you lift or the miles you run. It’s about the environment you create, the people who support you, and the results you achieve together. Small group training offers an ideal balance of personalized attention and community-driven motivation, helping you unlock your potential in ways that solo training simply can’t.


What Is Small Group Training?

Small group training at Avos Strength combines the expertise of personalized coaching with the camaraderie of training alongside others. Our sessions are designed for groups that you create yourself, ensuring that each participant receives individualized feedback while benefiting from the energy of a group setting. It’s a cost-effective way to access high-quality coaching while building connections with like-minded individuals.


Why Small Groups Work

1. Personalized Attention Without the Price Tag

One-on-one training is excellent for targeted results, but small group training allows for tailored coaching at a fraction of the cost. At Avos Strength, we assess each participant’s needs, past injuries, and goals to ensure that your program works for you—even in a group setting.

2. Accountability Through Community

Training in a group fosters accountability. When you’ve got a group of people cheering you on and expecting you to show up, it’s easier to stay consistent. At Avos Strength, our clients often find that their group becomes a source of encouragement and inspiration, pushing them to show up and give their best.

3. Healthy Competition Drives Progress

Friendly competition can be a powerful motivator. Seeing your peers work hard inspires you to do the same. Whether it’s hitting a new personal best on a lift or mastering a challenging movement, the group dynamic helps you push beyond your limits.

4. Stronger Together

Training in a small group builds a sense of community. Our clients often say that their group feels like a team, celebrating milestones together and supporting each other through challenges. It’s not just about getting stronger physically; it’s about building a support system that lifts you up.

The Impact of Group Personal Training

When it comes to reaching your fitness goals, working out with others can make all the difference. Group personal training blends the personalization of one-on-one coaching with the motivation and camaraderie of a group setting. At Avos Strength, we understand that everyone’s journey is unique, which is why our group personal training programs are designed to help you succeed while building a supportive community around you.


What is Group Personal Training?

Group personal training offers a more affordable way to get professional guidance while maintaining a personalized approach. Unlike large fitness classes where the instructor can’t provide individualized attention, group personal training sessions are small, allowing the coach to tailor exercises to your needs. This approach not only helps you get stronger but also keeps you consistent and engaged.

Benefits of Group Personal Training

1. Personalized Coaching, Shared Experience

Group personal training combines the best of both worlds: personalized coaching and the energy of working out with others. Even in a group setting, your unique needs are met. Whether you have specific fitness goals, past injuries, or just want to improve your performance, the program can be adjusted to suit you. At Avos Strength, our expert coaches ensure that each session targets your goals while keeping the vibe encouraging and fun.

2. Accountability and Motivation

When you train alongside others with similar goals, it boosts your commitment. The group dynamic fosters accountability—when you know your peers are counting on you to show up, it’s easier to stick with the program. This community atmosphere is key to staying motivated and consistent over time.

3. Cost-Effective Personal Training

One of the biggest advantages of group personal training is the affordability. By sharing the session with a small group, you get the benefits of personal training at a fraction of the cost. It’s an excellent option for those looking to maximize their results without breaking the bank.


Avos Strength Group Personal Training Options

At Avos Strength, we offer two options for clients interested in group training: small group training sessions and the small group open gym program.

Small Group Training Sessions

Our small group training sessions are designed for those who thrive with structured programs and targeted coaching. These sessions are perfect for clients who want a more personalized experience but enjoy the camaraderie and motivation of working in a group. Each group is limited to a small number of participants, ensuring that everyone receives the attention they need to perform exercises correctly and safely.

Small Group Open Gym Program

The small group open gym is ideal for those who prefer more flexibility in their training schedule but still want access to expert coaching. While the program is currently paused due to low attendance, we’ve created a waitlist for clients interested in joining. Once there’s enough demand, we’ll relaunch the open gym sessions. Clients on the waitlist will be the first to know when it’s available again.


Is Group Personal Training Right for You?

If you’re someone who enjoys working out in a community setting while still getting personalized guidance, group personal training might be just what you need. At Avos Strength, we believe that fitness should be accessible, supportive, and, most importantly, fun. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve your technique, or just need that extra push, our group training options have something for everyone.
