Hi, it's Coach Kevin Donne here, bringing you some facts rather than fallacies and helping

you to unlock higher order objective thought processes that allow you to hard pass on the latest

fitness fads. So one of the biggest arguments in the fitness industry is, are classes or one-on-one training better?

It probably won't surprise you that personal trainers say individual program design is best,

and class-based gyms say classes are best. So let's have a more objective look with a healthy

sprinkling of my own anecdotes.

Like everything I discuss here in the show, there is a ton of nuance. So is individual design better?

Well, I don't know. Maybe. It all comes down to intent. Now, there are three categories of program design or training scenario.

The first is group program design.

The second is individualized group.

And the third is individual.

Now, unlike what personal trainers who are literally squeezing the lemon for more clients will tell you,

there is no such thing as group personal training.

It's either group or it's personal.

It's mutually exclusive.

Now, before we circle back to the differences between group and individual,

give you a little anecdotal evidence from my life recently.

So I've mentioned on the show before that I joined an adult gymnastics class.

Recently, this class has been getting busier and busier.

The numbers have increased from 5 to 6 people per class to 20 to 22 people per class.

Unfortunately, the number of coaches has remained the same.

This has turned what was a coach class into what really looks just like disaster management.
