Semi-Private Personal Training: What It Is and Why It Works

If you want personal training but the one-on-one price tag is a stretch, and big group classes never quite fit you, there's a format built exactly for that gap: semi-private personal training.

At The Fort, we call it Thrive. You train in a group of just 3-5 people with a coach who writes your program, tracks your progress, and adjusts it to you week to week. Personal coaching and a crew that holds you accountable — in the same session.

Why It Works

Personalized programming. Your coach knows your name, your last session, your goals, and what to scale. Everyone in the room might be squatting, but the weight, tempo, and range are matched to you.

Built-in accountability. When your crew notices you're not there, it matters. A fixed group and a fixed schedule close the consistency gap that good intentions alone cannot.

A coach watching your movement. Bad patterns compound quietly. A coach who sees you twice a week catches the hitch in your squat before it becomes a knee problem six months later.

The Three Thrive Tracks

We offer three flavors of Thrive so you land in the right room:

• Thrive (general) — for anyone wanting coach-led strength in a small group
• Thrive Moms — postpartum-safe, PT-screened by Dr. Molly Sifflard, DPT. Kids welcome.
• Thrive Seniors — strength and balance for adults 55+. Stay strong for the life you want to keep living.

What It Costs

$360 for a 6-week cycle — twice a week, 12 sessions total. That's $30 per session for personalized coaching in a small group.

Who It's For

Thrive works for you if:

• You want personalized coaching AND the energy of training with others — not one or the other
• You like having a crew that expects you to show up
• You want a coach who tracks your progress week to week
