You know you should work out. You might even know what exercises to do. So why aren't you doing them consistently? For most people, it isn't lack of knowledge — it's lack of accountability, motivation, and support. That's exactly what small group training provides.
At Fit In 42, small group personal training is the foundation of everything we do — because the science and our results prove it works better than training alone.
The Research Is Clear
A study in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association found that group exercisers reported 26% less stress and significantly improved quality of life compared to solo exercisers — even with the same duration and intensity.
Another study found that working out with others increases exercise duration by up to 200%. People push harder and train longer when surrounded by others doing the same thing.
Why Small Group Beats Working Out Alone
Built-In Accountability
When you work out alone, only you notice if you skip. In a small group, your coach and training partners notice when you're absent. At Fit In 42, our personal trainers track attendance and reach out when members miss sessions.
Competitive Energy
Training next to someone pushing hard makes you push harder. Researchers call it the Köhler Effect — people consistently perform better on physical tasks in a group compared to alone.
Expert Coaching at a Fraction of the Cost
One-on-one training in the Coachella Valley runs $80-150+ per session. Small group format gives you the same certified trainer and personalized attention — with cost shared among the group.
You Learn From Others
Training alongside different fitness levels exposes you to exercises, techniques, and strategies you wouldn't discover on your own. You see what's possible and get inspired.
Why Small Group Beats Large Group Classes
There's a massive difference between 4-8 people with a dedicated coach and a mega-class of 30-40 where the instructor can't see your form. In a small group, your coach can correct form in real time, modify for your limitations, track progress, and actually know your name and goals.
