I first heard about small group personal training back in 2011. I listened to some talks on it and looked into gyms that made it their main offer. It seemed smart, and I was very interested. But it wasn’t until 2015 that it all clicked for me. At that time,

Recently, I had a conversation with a member who told me they weren’t thrilled that our workouts only included about 40 minutes of total work.  They compared that to the 90 minutes they used to spend working out on their own and felt that less time in the gym must
