Henry Ford once said, "If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." The truth is that everyone does not have that innate motivation. If one does, it is liable to wander off in the midst of the cloud of life's pressures. But, I am going to bet that everyone wants to look and feel good. For some, getting to that point can present a daunting task. No need to fear, climb that mountain with other individuals who share the same feelings and achieve together. This is one of the advantages of group training or what we call team training. Team training is a dynamic, usually specialty, and fee-based group exercise program. Ideal class sizes at the BRC have 3-5 participants.
Team training creates an atmosphere of 'getting straight to business and leave it all on the floor'. Everyone is chasing the same goals: To work as hard as they can to lose fat, get stronger, increase stamina, and have a sense of accomplishment. As instructor of 2 lunchtime kettlebells classes, I serve as the coach and motivator. However, the team aspect is the unsung hero. Imagine you are on your last set of a very exhausting workout. You are grunting, sweat dripping into your eyes as your body trembles and screams, ENOUGH!!! You look at the person to your right and he appears to be struggling as well, except he has a gleam of confidence and determination as he grunts louder. Then, you say to yourself I can go harder than him. You both are the victorious and complete another tough workout that you know you could not have pushed as hard alone. The camaraderie continues as team members become familiar with each other outside the class and share ideas about nutrition or tips, or some banter while recovering from the workout. Furthermore, accountability fuels participants as no one wants to be the guy who doesn't show up or is a slacker in class. Not to mention, boredom is not an option as workouts constantly change and are charged with energy.
Team training also is cost effective as a session can be 30% the cost of a one on one session. That is great way to keep continuity, which will lead to inevitable success. In short, team training is the wave of the future in the fitness industry. It creates a fun and motivating atmosphere that can break up one's stale workout routine. Our newest trainer, Katie, is getting ready to start a group training class geared towards improving squash fitness. I also have my midday kettlebell classes everyday, except Tuesdays. Please keep your eyes and ears open for other classes to come. If you are interested in any team training, you can inquire at the front desk for more details.
