What Clients Are Saying
A High-Energy, Immersive Training Experience
Unlike traditional group fitness classes, our Small Group Personal Training sessions are intentionally capped to maintain quality coaching while creating a powerful group dynamic. The room comes alive with lights synced to the music, delivering a visually engaging, rhythm-driven workout that feels more like a live concert than a standard gym session.
The combination of sound, lighting, and movement creates an environment that boosts focus, motivation, and intensity—helping you train harder, stay present, and get more out of every session.
Coach-Led, Results-Focused Programming
Every Small Group Personal Training session is designed and led by a professional coach who structures workouts to improve strength, endurance, conditioning, and overall athletic performance. While the group moves together, exercises can be scaled or modified to meet different fitness levels, making this format accessible to beginners and challenging for advanced clients alike.
Training focuses on:
- Full-body strength and resistance training
- Cardiovascular conditioning and stamina
- Functional movement and athletic performance
- Fat loss and lean muscle development
- Safe progression and proper technique
Motivation, Community, and Consistency
Training alongside others creates accountability, momentum, and a sense of camaraderie that’s hard to replicate when working out alone. The shared energy of the group pushes you to give more effort, while the coach keeps you focused, motivated, and moving with purpose.
Many clients find that the excitement and structure of small group personal training helps them stay consistent, break through plateaus, and enjoy fitness in a way they never have before.
Professional Coaching at an Accessible Price Point
Small Group Personal Training offers a cost-effective way to work with a professional coach while benefiting from a premium, high-impact training environment. You receive expert-led workouts, a motivating atmosphere, and measurable results—without the commitment or cost of private training.
If you’re looking for a dynamic, community-driven fitness experience in Allentown or the Lehigh Valley that delivers real results in an unforgettable setting, Small Group Personal Training provides the perfect blend of coaching, energy, and performance.
Train harder. Move better. Experience fitness like never before.
FAQs
What is Small Group Personal Training?
Small Group Personal Training combines professional coaching with a high-energy training environment while keeping the group small enough for coaches to actually know who you are. At Forward Thinking Fitness, Small Group sessions are capped at 12 clients so we can maintain coaching quality while creating the energy and community people love about group training.
How many people are in FTF's Small Group Personal Training sessions?
We cap Small Group Personal Training at 12 people. Why? Because if you’re number 27 in a packed room while one coach screams instructions from the front, we’d have a hard time calling that “personal training” with a straight face.
What are Small Group workouts like at Forward Thinking Fitness?
Expect strength training, conditioning, coaching, community, bumping music, and an immersive environment designed to make an hour of exercise feel dramatically less like punishment. Our lighting and music help create the concert-like FTF experience, but underneath all the fun is purposeful programming designed to make you stronger and fitter.
Is Small Group Personal Training the same as a fitness class?
Not exactly. Traditional fitness classes are often designed around the class rather than the individual. Small Group Personal Training keeps the energy of group exercise while allowing our coaches to provide more individual instruction, modifications, and attention because we intentionally limit the number of clients.
Can beginners join Small Group Personal Training?
Yes, when Small Group is appropriate for their needs. We can modify exercises and intensity based on ability, but we also won’t automatically throw every beginner into Small Group because it’s convenient for us. If another training format gives you a better foundation first, that’s what we’ll recommend.
Can Small Group Personal Training help me build muscle?
Absolutely. Resistance training is a major component of our Small Group programming, making it an effective option for improving strength and supporting lean muscle development. You’ll lift actual weights here. We aren’t going to make you dance around a two-pound dumbbell for an hour and call it strength training.
Can Small Group Personal Training help with fat loss?
Yes—especially when training is paired with appropriate nutrition and consistent lifestyle habits. Small Group training can help you increase strength, fitness, and energy expenditure while preserving the muscle you definitely don’t want to sacrifice just to make the scale move faster.
Is Small Group Personal Training good for people who hate traditional gyms?
It might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Many people don’t dislike exercise—they dislike fluorescent lighting, wandering around without a plan, waiting for equipment, and feeling like everyone is watching them. Our Small Group environment replaces that experience with coaching, structure, music, energy, and community.
How is Small Group Personal Training different from CrossFit or boot camp?
Our focus is individualized, sustainable fitness rather than competition or simply making every workout as difficult as possible. We want you challenged appropriately, coached properly, and able to come back consistently. Leaving your soul on the floor after every workout isn’t actually a requirement for getting fit.
Where can I find Small Group Personal Training in the Lehigh Valley?
