I’ll cover exactly what small groups are, when they start, and how you can benefit from them. Keep reading to learn all about it.
So What are Small Group Courses?
Small group courses aim to help clients gain specific skills. We currently offer Women’s Strength, Youth Strength Training, Golden Girls, and boxing. Each course is going to take clients through the appropriate steps to build confidence in their skills from the ground up. This means learning how to safely and best move for your body, how to use equipment, and how to navigate the gym. Because of this, small group courses are a great starting point for beginners, or anyone wanting to sharpen their skills and become part of the community.
How Often are Small Group Courses Taking Place?
Small group courses happen quarterly, or every three months. Once a client enrolls in a small group course, they take the course with the same coach, at the same time, on the same day for six weeks. For example, if a client signs up for a small group on Mondays at 7 pm, they will take that same course for six weeks in a row. Groups range from 2-6 people, so clients will get plenty of help and attention from the coach. This helps clients get familiar with their peers and the coach, which helps build community and trust - two things we thrive on here at PFP. Clients will become familiar with our atmosphere, which is really helpful in transitioning to larger group classes.
In Summation…
Overall, small group courses help clients build a solid baseline of skills to help them thrive in other settings around the gym. Clients benefit from them because when you gain knowledge, you gain confidence. When clients are confident in their movement and ability, they are able to try new things, meet new people, and truly feel like part of the community.
If you aren’t part of PFP yet and would like to start, small groups are a great place to begin. To join a small group, book a fitness assessment with any coach to learn which small group is a good fit for you.
