Unlocking the Best of Both Worlds: A Guide to Semi-Private Training

If you’ve ever felt like traditional gym culture isn’t your thing or wished for a workout plan that balances personal attention with the camaraderie of group training, you’re not alone. At Between The Bumpers, our Semi-Private Training program was designed to offer just that—a hybrid approach that gives you the focus of personal training with the motivation and energy of a group environment.

What Is Semi-Private Training?

Semi-private training bridges the gap between personal and group fitness. With a coach-to-participant ratio of 1:2 to 1:4, you’ll enjoy the personalized attention needed to work on your specific goals while sharing the workout space with others who share your drive. It’s the perfect balance of social interaction and individual focus.

What to Expect in a Session

Our Semi-Private Training sessions are structured for effectiveness, progression, and fun:

  • Warm-Up [5-15 Minutes]
    We kick things off with a group warm-up to get your body moving and ready for the workout ahead. Arrive a few minutes early if you’d like to do additional warm-ups.

  • Individualized Strength Work [10-20 Minutes]
    This part of the session is all about focusing on your main priority for the day, tailored to your fitness level and goals.

  • Accessory Exercises [10-15 Minutes]
    Here, we target secondary goals, smaller muscle groups, and movements that complement your main workout.

  • Cool Down [0-5 Minutes]
    If time permits, we’ll wrap up with a quick stretch as a group to help your body recover.

Flexible Scheduling

Life happens, and we get it. One of the perks of Semi-Private Training is its flexibility. If you need to reschedule, just give us 24 hours' notice, and we’ll do our best to find a time that works for you.

How Progression Works

Our program is based on the principle of progressive overload—gradually increasing the resistance or weight to continually challenge your muscles and boost strength. For example:

  • Week 1: Start with lighter weights and higher reps (e.g., 3 sets of 8-10 squats).

  • Week 2: Increase the weight slightly while maintaining good form.

  • Week 3: Add more weight as your strength improves.

Tracking your progress in the TrueCoach App is key. It helps you stay on top of your goals and see how far you’ve come.

What You’ll Need

To make the most of your sessions:

  1. Download the TrueCoach App
    This is where your personalized workout plan lives. You can also track your progress and communicate with your coach.

  2. Bring Your Device
    Use your phone to log weights and follow along during your workout. We even display workouts on a TV screen in the training area for easy access.

Why Semi-Private Training?

This style of training isn’t just about fitness—it’s about community, support, and results. You’ll build strength, confidence, and relationships while working toward your goals in a supportive, non-intimidating environment.
