Personal Training vs. Group Classes: Which Is Right for You?


Choosing between personal training and group fitness classes depends on your goals, experience, and the kind of support you need to stay motivated.

Personal Training

This is a one-on-one experience tailored entirely to your body, schedule, and goals. A certified trainer designs a custom program, tracks your progress, corrects your form, and adjusts your plan as you improve. It’s ideal for people with specific goals, injuries, or anyone who wants focused, hands-on guidance.

Best for:
✔ Beginners needing guidance
✔ People with injuries or limitations
✔ Those with specific fitness goals (e.g. weight loss, strength gain, rehab)
✔ Busy professionals who want flexible scheduling

Group Classes

Group classes bring energy, community, and fun. Led by an instructor, you follow a set format — such as HIIT, strength, yoga, or cardio — alongside others. These sessions build camaraderie and offer general benefits for endurance, strength, and consistency.

Best for:
✔ Social, energetic people
✔ Those who enjoy variety
✔ Anyone motivated by community and music
✔ People looking for affordable, high-energy workouts

At The Athleticus, we offer both — because your fitness journey should fit you. Try both and discover what keeps you consistent, challenged, and progressing.
