What is Tribe Training?

Tribe Training is an exciting new opportunity for CHAMP members to experience personal training as a small group. When you sign up for Tribe Training you will get weekly sessions with your group for an entire month.

What types of exercises will be included?

We will utilize the new personal training space and use a variety of equipment from barbells to kettle bells, machines to medicine balls and beyond.  If you have ever wondered what those ropes, sleds and other weird looking pieces of equipment are for, here is your chance to find out.  Each session will be unique.  Members will get to experience all types of training including tabata, HIIT, AMRAP, strength training, etc.  And I will have some fun surprises too.

When will Tribe Training be offered?

We will begin Tribe groups in May.  Initially sessions will be offered on Tuesdays at 1:00 pm and Fridays at 11:00 am.  You must sign up in advance and come to the same time slot each week.  More times can be added depending on member demand and feedback.

Why is group size limited?

Groups are limited to no larger than 8 people at a time. This will allow me to be able to give personalized attention to each member. .I will be able to coach for correct form and supervise everyone’s movements through each exercise.

How is Tribe Training different from group fitness classes?

A group fitness class is choreographed and everyone is doing the same exercise at the same time.  In training groups people may be doing different exercises at their own rate of speed, intensity and ability.  Also, programs are customizable.

What are the advantages of small group personal training?

There are three major benefits that come to mind immediately. Affordability, motivation and variety.

          Affordability:  People shell out hundreds of dollars a month for personal trainers.  With group training you share that cost with your group.  And, I’ve done the math, Tribe Training is the best deal in town.  It’s a ridiculously good price for a month’s worth of sessions.

          Motivation:  There is more energy in a group setting.  Your work out partners help to motivate you and to help keep you accountable.  You show up because you know your group is expecting you to be there.  You may even work a little harder because you see how hard the rest of your Tribe is working.  And it’s just more fun to do things as a team.

          Variety: I love group fitness classes and continue to do them as often as I can.  Training mixes up my workouts and adds variety.  I can target specific muscle groups or set a goal and crush it.  Hitting the training room will help you take your fitness to the next level.  Really, it’s science!  Your body will adapt to the specific demands placed on it (it’s called the SAID principle, specific adaptation to imposed demands).  Doing the same things all the time will result in exercise plateaus.  You aren’t getting any stronger, more muscular or can’t lose any more weight because your body has become efficient enough to complete the workout you keep doing.  Adding training sessions in addition to your regular classes will maximize your progress and you will see greater results.

How much does it cost?

Tribe Training will be an option you could include in your monthly membership if you sign up to be a Warrior or Champion level member at CHAMP.  In addition, if someone wanted to just do group training for a month — say you have a spouse or friend who would never do a group fitness class but wants to work out with you — it would be $70.00.  Either way it works out to $17.50 per session.  Like I said, best personal training deal in town.

Will there be childcare available?

Yes there is childcare during the two Tribe Training times that are available right now. It is included with your membership.

How do I sign up?

There are sign up sheets at the front desk and soon you will be able to sign up online as well.  First come first served
