Difference
Semi Private vs 1:1 vs Group Classes – What’s the Difference?
Semi Private Personal Training sits between one-on-one coaching and a big group fitness class,
and it’s built to give you the best of both.
and it’s built to give you the best of both.
1:1 Personal Training: full attention, fully individualised programming, highest cost per session. Best if you’re rehabbing an injury or want programming built entirely around you.
Semi Private Personal Training (this page): small group training capped at 6 people, so your coach can still watch your form, adjust your weights and check in with you every set – while you train alongside others working toward similar goals. Lower cost per session than 1:1, more coaching attention than a class.
Group Fitness Classes: larger groups, general programming, minimal individual correction. Cheapest option, least personalised.
If you want real coaching without the 1:1 price tag, Semi Private Personal Training near you at
Metaform is built for exactly that gap.

From the owner
The hardest part is walking through the door.
So we make the first step small: two sessions, both one-on-one with a head coach, before you ever train in a group. Forty-four seconds from Lance on why.

Program
How Our Semi Private Program Works
Every semi private session runs for 30 minutes, capped at 6 people, so your coach is never managing more people than they can actually watch. Programming is phased across weeks, not improvised on the day, so every session builds toward a goal – strength, fat loss, general fitness – rather than just “a workout.”

How it works
A Sample Week
Monday
Lower body strength (squat/hinge pattern focus)
Wednesday
Upper body strength + core finisher
Friday
Full body + mobility
Your coach helps adjust load and reps for you individually within the group session – the program structure is shared, the weights and progressions are yours.
