Stronger Together
A program written for your body, a certified coach in the room every session, and a group small enough that nothing gets missed. Opening 2026 in the Southdale area.
When most people go looking for a personal trainer, they picture one thing: a coach standing next to them, counting reps, correcting their form. That picture is right about what matters and wrong about what it costs.
What actually makes personal training work is the program, the coaching, and showing up consistently for a long time. One-on-one delivers the first two beautifully. It's the third one where it usually falls apart.
One-on-one personal training in the Twin Cities runs well over $100 a session. At that rate, almost nobody trains twice a week. People train once a week, or they train twice a week for two months and then quietly stop when they look at the statement.
That's the whole problem. Strength is not built in a six-week block. It's built over years of consistent, progressively harder work. The training program that produces results is the one you can still afford in year three.
Training in a group of six costs a fraction of one-on-one. Not because you get less coaching, but because the coach's hour is shared across six people instead of one. That difference is what turns personal training from a short-term project into something you just do on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This is the part people assume they're giving up, and they aren't. Every member is assessed individually and trains on a program built for their body, their history, and their goals. Two people standing next to each other in the same session are often doing completely different work. You will have different movements, different loads, different progressions.
The coach is in the room the entire time, watching, correcting, and adjusting. What you give up in a small group isn't attention. It's exclusivity.
Here's what surprises people most: training with a handful of others is better, not just cheaper.
You get to know the people in your time slot. You notice when someone's been out for a week, and they notice when you have. That turns out to matter more than motivation apps, calendar reminders, or good intentions on a January morning. A one-on-one session is an appointment you can quietly cancel. A session where five people expect you is harder to skip and skipping is the biggest problem.
Our coaches prefer it too. Coaching six people who are building something together is a more rewarding job than coaching one person at a time, and that shows up in the energy in the room.

We'd rather be straight with you. If you're rehabbing an acute injury under a clinician's direction, training for a specific competitive event, or you simply want to train privately, one-on-one is the better fit and we'll tell you so.
For everyone else — adults who want to get stronger, move better, and still be carrying their own luggage at 75 — a small group gets you there and keeps you there.
Every member begins the same way: a no-pressure session where we assess how your body actually moves, talk through your goals and history, and map out a plan built around you. It's free, and it's how you find out whether this is the right fit before you decide anything.

It's personal training, delivered in a small group. You get your own program, written for your body and goals, and a coach who adjusts it session to session. You just happen to train alongside up to five other people who are each doing their own program.
One-on-one works, but at typical Twin Cities rates of well over $100 a session, most people can only afford it once a week or for a few months. Training twice a week for years beats training once a week for six weeks. The small group format is what makes that math work.
Yes. Your program is built around your assessment, your goals, your training history, and anything your body doesn't want to do yet. Two people in the same session are often doing entirely different work.
That's most of the people who walk in. Every member starts with a Starting Point Session, where we look at how you actually move before anything gets programmed. You will never be handed a barbell and left to figure it out.
If you're working through an acute injury under a clinician's direction, training for a specific competitive event, or you simply want privacy, one-on-one is the right call. We'd rather tell you that than sell you something that doesn't fit.
