Group Training is far superior to one on one training, this I have concluded over the course of the last few years. As a trainer or trainee the benefits are many, the previous notion was that one on one training is more valuable or the gold standard so to say. I have a couple of groups that I would consider charging more than the 1 on 1 price to join. That's how much the benefits of a good training group can be.
Remember that the training style I use in the gym(the most efficient and logical method there is...) fits perfectly for groups up to 6 people. Resistance training is to build muscle, not burn fat.Thus 3-5 minutes between sets like power lifters fits perfectly to a group training situation. Also I'm talking I'm there for every rep of their working sets. Not looking at a watch and blowing a whistle when the times up, to hell with form (circuit training) which is the current group training method today. They even built a franchise from it. Now combine the 1 on 1 attention with the motivation and shit talking of the group, and you get a formula for not only super intense and productive workouts, but you get an awesome support group and tight group of new friends This takes everybody's results up and makes my job and everyone else much easier. I am going to give all 2 of my readers a treat and follow my favorite group through workouts as they get ready for summer.
I will be documenting here and on video, there is something inspiring for everybody in the vids. So tomorrow I will go over brief description of the group and goals and begin putting up the videos. Only then will get what I say when i talk about the group training dynamic...stay tuned
