Many people would like to get a personal trainer to help with fitness goals. It can cost for this individualized training…on both sides, trainer and client.
Coaches limit their precious one hour to one person at, what $50, $60, $70, $80 an hour and higher. Prospective clients, if approaching retirement age, or already there, might cap their spending per month on 1-on-1 fitness training at $300.
Geezer Jocks, you can spend less. And trainers want you.
Vince Gabriele, a successful gym owner, wrote a book, Ultimate Guide to Small Group Personal Training, where he reasons that trainers and clients alike could benefit from small sessions of two or three people and spread costs.
“It's comparable to one-on-one right, where you can think about what someone gets in a one-on-one session? They get guidance from a coach, they get a really good close communication, they get individualization, they get progression,” Gabriele told Jay Croft on The Optimal Aging podcast, which is on the website Prime Fit.
“They get all these things from a one-on-one personal training session and the goal is that they get everything that they would get in that one-on-one session, but they do it in a small group environment with a few other people at a fraction of the price.”
Vince is not suggesting matching an 80-year old who wants to pedal 30 miles with a 55-year old laying underneath a bar of 200. But what about a 55-year old and 60-year old and 65-year old doing goblet squats, bodyweight squats, kettlebell swings, kettlebell deadlifts?
“We (trainers) can make it an individualized situation, if we do a good job with the marketing,” Gabriele said.
Conversely, if Geezer Jocks do a good job of searching for the right coach, you can make it economical.
