An excellent trainer I know has real success pairing up folks to train. And, in the studio where I work, we have a couple of two-somes. They egg each other on and, even when workiing hard they smile and laugh; there’s real camaraderie, there and, sometimes, a trainer, by getting ‘em to do a little one-on-one guarding and evading (basketball without the hoop) and compete with each other in different ways, can get them to work harder than they might if only one of ‘em was under the cracking whip. (The downside is, if they start talking about something, it can take their eyes off the prize and if one’s in a down mood and the other’s not happy, it can hamper both trainees’ enthusiasm and the trainer may have to work harder to motivate.

Kaiser,
This kinda goes with this, but I am confused as to what is better to go with. Is it private sessions or group boot camp things. Cause like you state you worry about your quality going down with the more people you train at one time. But, I also go on Bedros Keuilian’s site and he says private sessions are dead. And he interviewed a trainer that says he only does group sessions and charges like $30. He said he is more successful because he will have 30 clients versus the 15 a more expensive trainer will have. If you could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

Just started to adapt semi-private training sessions with some of my clients. They absolutely love the idea and now I am making 100 a session. Such a simple idea brings great results! Thank you Kaiser for having this site.

I am looking to go that way myself. As I grow before and after work are the peak times. If I stick with one on one I will have to pass many people up limiting my income and the number of people I can help. I do think this is the best way to go. One question, now many people to you take on at once before you get someone to help?

Hi Kaiser,
Great post as always! I just recently decided that small groups is the only way for me to go. I specialize in Boxing fitness training for women. I just started small group last year, but the commitment level of these ladies is so exciting. I train (3-8) at one time. Once you start training like this it’s very hard to go back to just doing one -on -one sessions(I know for me it is)
I love the way the ladies feed off of each others energy, not to mention I make more money in one session.

Bill Moore, you really should give it a try. I used to do circuit training using 30 minute workouts, I think that it is an excellent way to train more clients at one time. I could train up to 10 people in one circuit and give them a great workout, and see lots of results. Best Wishes

Hey Kaiser,
Sorry about the late response to this post, but I have been mulling it over in my mind the past couple of days. Your idea is stellar and makes perfectly good sense from a business leverage point of view. I have tried to make a go of this with massive print marketing,($5K per mailing) Google Adwords and word of mouth, but have NEVER had anyone express interest.

I don’t believe I am an isolated case. My one-one marketing is cutting edge. I would love to get some ingenius ideas from the peanut gallery on how they market differently from what I previously mentioned.

Hey Kaiser, really good post. In fact, last June I did a small workshop for trainers who looking to open a personal training studio. One of the main business models that we covered were what I call “team training” programs. Like you said, they make the trainer more money, they cost the client less, and it kicks retention into high gear because there’s a sense of competition – everyone wins.
