Semi-Private Training in San Diego

A coach who knows your name, your numbers, and your goals, inside a group of no more than six. The attention of personal training and the energy of a full room, for a fraction of the one on one price.

What Semi-Private Training Is

It is not a class. Everyone in the session is on their own program, written for their goals and coached in real time. It is not one on one either. You share the hour with up to five other San Diego lifters putting in the same work, which keeps you accountable and keeps the cost down. One coach, six lifters, six plans, one strong room.

Structure and Session Details

Every session is capped at six people so the coaching never thins out. About an hour of coached work: warm up, your main lifts, accessories, and a plan for next time. Strength first, real barbells, and technique that holds up under load. Your numbers are tracked so every week builds on the last. Train two days a week or four.

Benefits

  • A coach on every rep. The group never grows past six, so your lifts always get watched.
  • Your own program. Written for your goals, not a one size workout everyone runs together.
  • A standing appointment. A set time and a coach who holds you to it.
  • The room pushes you. Training next to people who show up changes how you show up.
  • Progress you can see. Your numbers are tracked week over week.
  • Personal training quality without the personal training bill.

Who It Is For

  • You want real structure and a coach, and a generic class will not get you there.
  • You are coming back to training and want it done right from day one.
  • You already lift, but you want your programming and form handled by someone who knows what they are doing.
  • You are done guessing and ready to just show up and work.
