At Hardbody Athlete, we believe in training smarter, not just harder. One of the most effective ways to maximize results, accountability, and community support without sacrificing individualized attention is through semi-private training.
But what exactly is semi-private training, and why is it the best investment for high-performance athletes and active adults? Let’s break it down.
The Semi-Private Training Model
Semi-private training is a hybrid model between one-on-one personal training and large group training. At Hardbody Athlete, this means each session has a maximum of four clients per coach (1:4 ratio). Every participant follows a personalized training program tailored to their specific goals, abilities, and needs, while benefiting from the energy and motivation of training alongside others.
This model provides the best of both worlds—expert coaching and structured programming at a fraction of the cost of private training, all while fostering a team-oriented atmosphere that pushes athletes to the next level.
3 Key Benefits of Semi-Private Training
1. Personalized Programming with a Systematic Approach
Unlike large group training, which follows a one-size-fits-all program, semi-private training at Hardbody Athlete is built around each client’s unique goals, sport, injury history, and performance assessments.
We use advanced sports science assessments, including force plate testing, InBody body composition scans, and movement screenings, to design a program that maximizes strength, speed, and resilience while minimizing injury risk.
2. Expert Coaching with Individualized Attention
With a 1:4 coach-to-athlete ratio, every athlete receives hands-on coaching, ensuring proper technique, progressive overload, and real-time feedback. This level of attention is critical for skill development and injury prevention, yet it remains cost-effective compared to traditional one-on-one personal training.
Coaches are also able to modify and progress exercises on the spot, ensuring that each athlete is challenged appropriately within their current ability.
3. A High-Performance, Community-Driven Environment
One of the biggest challenges in training is staying consistent. Semi-private training builds accountability, motivation, and camaraderie by training in a small group setting where athletes push each other to perform at their best.
The combination of structured training and team-based energy fosters a culture of excellence, where individuals stay motivated to show up, train hard, and improve consistently.
