We have all heard the statistics indicating those who work out with a partner are more likely to succeed in reaching their goals because they are happier while working out, and, as a result, tend to be more likely to schedule time in the gym.
Working out with a partner allows a certain type of connection and bond to be formed, and provides motivation, support, help and advice. These are essential components to seeing fitness success, but they help you succeed in lifestyle change, as well.
Oftentimes, your support figures help you decide to eat healthier, introduce you to new activities, or even just motivate you to try something new. Instead of donuts in the break room, maybe they support an idea of fruits and vegetables. Instead of going on a smoke break at work, they encourage a walk instead. The more people you have on board and supporting your fitness goals, the more likely you are to succeed.
The world of fitness is evolving through recognizing this social fitness concept. The massive success of boot camps and crossfit gyms are proof of this social component. Phone apps that post your fitness achievements to social media sites, such as Facebook and Google+, are popping up everywhere, and they are proving to be great resources.
However, boot camp or crossfit might not be your thing, or maybe you’re not quite ready to enter into something so intense. Social components are still essential, but finding the proper fit is much harder.
To fill this gap here at the Hit Center, we offer a program called Semi-Private Personal Training. This program allows one of our degreed and certified personal trainers to work with as many as three clients per hour. This approach significantly lowers the cost of traditional one-on-one personal training, while allowing for a socially supportive environment. Each client receives an individually designed program, but may complete their workout alongside clients of the same or different fitness levels.
Many times, husband and wife pairs or friends will join our Semi-Private Personal Training programs. They value the individual attention, while maintaining the ability to interact and catering to their socially supportive needs.
Check out our May special for a fantastic deal for you and a friend on your first month of Semi-Private Personal Training—just in time for pool season.
