Small group · max 10 people, average 6
You don't want to train alone. But you don't want to be lost in a class either.
Small group personal training in Leicester gives you both: the energy and camaraderie of training with others who get it, and the individual coaching that means every session is built around you.
How it works
Small group personal training — sometimes known as semi-private personal training — is exactly what it sounds like: you train alongside a small group of people (max 10, average 6), but you're coached individually.
Your programme is personalised to you — your goals, your injuries, your current fitness level. The coach adjusts weights, reps, and exercises for each person in the group.
Everyone in the session is working on their own programme. Your coach knows exactly what you're doing, what you should be lifting, and what progression you're working towards. You're coached individually — you just happen to be training alongside others.
Maximum 10 people. Average 6. That means your coach has the time and attention to actually coach you properly. You're not one of 30 people in a big room being shouted at by someone with a microphone.
Most of our small group clients are over 40. Many are returning to fitness after years focused on work and family. You're not training alongside 25-year-olds doing burpees — you're training with people who understand exactly where you're at.
Is it for you?
Most people who choose small group personal training in Leicester are looking for one or more of these things:
You've spent years training alone — or not training at all. You want the social element. You want to show up because other people are expecting you. You want the buzz that comes from training alongside people who are working just as hard as you are.
You've spent decades focused on work and family. Your social circle doesn't prioritise health. You're looking to rebuild a network around people who get it — who understand why this matters and who are on the same journey.
You want the same coaching quality, the same personalised programming, the same attention to form and progression — but at a more affordable price point than private 1-to-1 sessions.
You started with private sessions to build confidence and learn the basics. Now you're ready to train alongside others. The programme stays the same — just the format changes.
Training is as much about the routine, the community, and the structure as it is about the physical results. You want something to build your week around. Familiar faces and a reason to leave the house.
If any of those sound familiar — you're in the right place.Book a free consultation
Not a class
Let's be clear about what this isn't — because that's just as important as what it is.
Not this
You're not being screamed at by an instructor trying to break you. The intensity is appropriate to where you're at. Your coach knows your name, your limitations, and your goals.
Not this
You're not following along with a routine on a screen. You're not doing synchronised movements in a dark room with loud music. You're training with a coach who's watching you and correcting your form.
Not this
You're not rotating through stations on a timer. You're not cycling in formation. You're doing proper strength training — progressive, coached, designed to build muscle and improve your health markers.
Not this
Those are classes. Everyone does the same thing. The instructor can't possibly give you individual attention because there are 30+ people in the room. That's not what this is.
Small group personal training at Transformation Fit is coached. Every session. Every person. Every rep. Your coach knows what you're lifting, what you should be progressing to, and what modifications you need. We keep the groups small (max 10, average 6) specifically so we can maintain that coaching quality. The moment the group gets too big, the coaching suffers. That's why we cap it.
Inside a session
Every session is 60 minutes. Here's the structure:
Not just generic stretching. Specific movements designed to prepare your body for the session ahead and reduce the aches, pains, and stiffness that come with being over 40.
This is the core of the session. Your coach takes you through your programme — exercises chosen specifically for you, progressed at the right pace for your body. Whilst you're working through your programme, the person next to you is doing theirs. Different exercises, different weights, different progressions. Your coach moves between each person, watching, correcting, adjusting.
The final block gets your heart rate up without breaking you. It's challenging, it's fun, and it's appropriate to your fitness level. You leave energised, not exhausted.
You train 2–4 times per week depending on your goals and schedule. We'll recommend the right frequency during your free consultation.
Results
These aren't vague promises. These are the results our clients actually achieve.
By the end of 90 days, most clients notice:
Through consistency and coached structure — not punishment or starvation
Stronger muscles support joints. Most clients with bad backs or knees feel significantly better
People who check in when you miss a session, celebrate your wins, understand what you're working towards
Training becomes part of your routine. You don't need willpower anymore — you just show up
Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol — results that show up in your GP bloodwork
Because of the people you're training with, not just the results you're getting
Small group — accountability & community
“I look forward to coming in. It's not just about the training — it's the people. You push each other without even realising you're doing it.”
40s — Lost 7 Stone
“Exercise saved me — physically and mentally. The group environment is one of the key reasons I've stayed consistent. The structure, the familiar faces, the accountability — it all adds up.”
60s — Reversed Type 2 Diabetes
“The group sessions are different. There's an energy. You're all working hard together. It keeps you honest.”
Nutrition included
Nutrition guidance is included as part of your 90-day programme. It's not a rigid diet plan — it's practical, sustainable advice that works alongside your training and fits into real life.
We provide you with the right macro-nutrient ratio, the right food choices, and the correct knowledge to achieve the body and goals you want. We work around your work and home routines, so it's something you can keep doing.
Clients who follow both the training and nutrition guidance consistently see the strongest results, including improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol after 90 days.
Getting started
We talk about where you're at. What's stopped you before. What you want from training. Whether small group or 1-to-1 makes more sense for you. No pressure. No commitment. If small group isn't the right fit, we'll tell you honestly.
Based on your consultation, your coach designs your 90-day programme. Your background, goals, medical conditions, and concerns are all factored in. Every exercise is chosen with your best interest in mind. You don't design anything. You just show up.
You'll be placed in a group that trains at a time that works for your schedule. Sessions run 2–4 times per week. Every session coached. Every session building on the last. Every session with people who are on the same journey as you.

Which format?
Here's a simple way to think about it:
Not sure? Book the free consultation. We'll recommend what makes sense based on your situation. Many people start 1-to-1 and move to small groups when they're ready — your programme follows you either way.
Pricing
Small group personal training is more affordable than 1-to-1 — you get the same coaching quality and the same personalised programming, just in a group environment.
Programmes start from £50 per week depending on how often you want to train and your overall goals. Pricing is discussed during your free consultation — no hidden costs, no surprises. If you want complete privacy, 1-to-1 personal training is available. Both options deliver results. The difference is just the format.

FAQs

Yes. Many of our small group clients are complete beginners or returning to fitness after years away. Your programme is designed around where you are right now, not where you think you should be. The coach adjusts exercises, weights, and progressions for each person — so it doesn't matter if the person next to you is stronger or fitter than you. You're working on your programme, not theirs.
In a gym class, everyone does the same workout regardless of fitness level or goals. The instructor can't possibly give you individual attention because there are 30+ people in the room. In small group personal training, you're coached individually. Your programme is built around you. Your coach knows what you're lifting, what you should be progressing to, and what modifications you need. The group is capped at 10 people specifically so the coach can maintain that level of attention.
