How semi-private coaching works

  1. Two or three people, never moreSmall enough that I coach every set and every person. Large enough that you are not training alone.
  2. Your own planYou are not doing someone else's workout. Each person in the group follows their own programme and goals. The session is shared, the coaching is individual.
  3. One or two sessions a weekAt JD Gyms North Belfast, at times agreed with the group.
  4. The week is coached tooWeekly review of training, food, steps and habits, and WhatsApp support when you are stuck. Nothing is removed compared to 1-to-1.

Semi-private, 1-to-1 or a class?

Semi-private

2 to 3 people

Individual plan, coached every set, shared energy. Best if you like being coached in person and want company and accountability.

1-to-1

Just you

Every minute on your training and technique. Best if you want hands-on coaching with nobody else in the room. Personal training in Belfast.

Gym class

15 to 30 people

Same workout for everyone, no plan for the week, nobody reviewing your food or checking in. Good for a sweat. Not coaching.

Who it suits

Colette
“Your knowledge is incredible, I'm loving the sessions and I've been putting in the work you've been telling me to do.”

Common questions

How many people are in a semi-private session?

Two or three at most. That is the limit that lets me coach every set and every person properly.

How often are semi-private sessions?

One or two sessions a week at JD Gyms North Belfast, at times agreed with the group. The plan covers the rest of your week.

Do I need to bring my own training partner?

No. Some groups are friends or couples who start together. Others are matched. Message me and we will work it out.

Do we all follow the same workout?

No. Each person follows their own programme and goals. The session is shared, the coaching is individual.

Is semi-private coaching cheaper than 1-to-1?

The routes are priced differently. Message me with where you are at and I will tell you what makes sense for your situation.

What is the difference between semi-private coaching and a gym class?

A class is the same workout for everyone, with no plan for the week and nobody reviewing your food or checking in. Semi-private is coaching: your own plan, every set watched, a weekly review and WhatsApp support.

Do semi-private clients get the weekly review and WhatsApp support?

Yes. Nothing is removed compared to 1-to-1. The only difference is who is in the room during the session.
