According to the municipality of Rijswijk, half of all residents often feel lonely. If you are a resident of Rijswijk e.o., then there is a good chance that you also belong to that category. With Small Group Training at Expats Personal Training, you can join a group of happy athletes and thus also boost your social life.
The rise of small group training
Small Group Training has taken the fitness world by storm in recent years. We see that more and more people are fed up with the overcrowded group lessons in the gym, and they miss the necessary personal guidance. With small group training, you train in small groups together under the guidance of a professional personal trainer, this not only offers you physical benefits but also functions as a powerful social platform. In this article, we explore how small group training can play an important role in building and strengthening physical fitness together with your social ties.
The Power of Shared Experiences
One of the most important aspects of small group training is the shared experience. Our participants work through challenging workouts, cheering each other on, celebrating successes, and socializing afterward. These shared moments create a strong bond between our group training members that often extends beyond the gym’s walls.
Motivation Through Social Connection
Unlike individual training, our small group training provides you with a weekly built-in support system. Our participants feel accountable to their fellow group members/training buddies, which leads to higher attendance and greater commitment to their fitness goals. This social pressure acts as a positive motivator here.
Networking in a relaxed environment
Our small group sessions also offer a unique opportunity to network in a relaxed and informal setting. Participants in these training come from a variety of backgrounds and professions, which leads to interesting conversations and potential professional connections, all in the context of a shared interest in fitness, health, and wellbeing.
Building new friendships
We see that our small group members regularly (at least twice a week) participate in the group training, which can lead to close friendships. The consistent interaction, shared goals, and weekly training together in which you support each other form a fertile ground for developing meaningful relationships that often continue outside of our gym.
Inclusivity and diversity
At Expats Personal Training we welcome participants from all fitness levels and backgrounds. During the group trainings, everyone can exercise at their level, which makes our group training suitable for both beginners and more experienced athletes. Our accessible sports environment promotes understanding and respect for diversity, which contributes to a broader social awareness and acceptance among our participants.
Social media and community
Many small group participants expand their social interactions via their own WhatsApp sports group, Facebook, Instagram, or via our Lifestyle software. Here, training schedules are shared, successes are celebrated and people motivate each other outside of training, which further strengthens the sense of community.
Events and social activities
Small group groups organize many activities outside of regular group training, such as joint outings, and participation in local sporting events such as Mudmaster, CPC run, and HYROX. These extra activities deepen social ties and make the fitness journey an all-encompassing lifestyle.
Conclusion: Small group training as a social anchor
