Exercising with your friends gets results!

Wednesday 23rd October 2013

Small group personal training with your friends is a fantastic way for people to benefit from the quality of service of personal trainer but in a small group situation. The group can be made up of your friends, work colleagues or even people with similar training goals or interests. You'll benefit from increased motivation, gain confidence, possibly meet new people and of course help build team spirit. An hour of group fitness training is not only a fast way to get results - you will have a great time having them.

James Bailey commented "Enjoying a workout with your better half or your friends can be a great opportunity for some quality time together, even if you have different fitness levels. Exercising together brings numerous benefits, including exercise motivation and boosting social skills and commitment. You're more likely to enjoy your session in the company of friends. Nowadays, everyone is busy and rushing around and the opportunity to take a little quality time out should not be missed. A group workout that leaves you refreshed and relaxed is fantastically therapeutic."

Group sessions have a maximum of 6 clients but there's no need to find 5 friends to train with; simply contact Woodlands and they'll let you know when the next group training session is taking place. Whether you're training for weight loss, improved fitness, flexibility, rehabilitation or for a specific sport the Woodlands Fitness Centre has the programmes to help you achieve your goals.

Lee Tann commented "Training with a friend is good fun and the fun element of your exercise sessions should not be neglected. You may have some serious training goals but it is equally important to enjoy and bring laughter into your exercise routine. You're far less likely to cancel a group exercise session if you've made an 'exercise date' with your partner or friends. You'll not want to let them down and it's likely that once you start your training session together, you'll be glad that you made the effort."

Group exercise sessions with your friends offer the same benefits as 1 to 1 personal training except that you will be able to share the costs and train with someone you know. Group exercise sessions are suitable for all abilities and ages. They can include aerobics, strength, Pilates as well as other training methods.

Giles Woolhouse added "All of the group sessions are tailored to the needs of the participants. We can help you to burn fat whilst improving balance, core strength, posture and mobility. As class sizes are so small, I will be helping you to correct technique and offer a highly personalised service."
