Group Training is Inferior!
Group training may be less expensive in some settings… but it’s certainly inferior as well. Optimal physical training benefits result from exercise training programs that are geared to each individual’s particular needs, capabilities, level of motivation (overall and same day) and ability to recover; group training is inherently unable to accomplish this. Reason? Participants vary widely in their ability to adapt to differing stimulus (e.g., intensity, duration, frequency and type of exercise) that they’re exposed to and this is critical to future adherence and longterm success. Furthermore, group training not only has a lower adherence level (high quit rate), but also has a higher injury level due to poor oversight and at the “moment of mistake” instruction.
Important to Note: Many professionals within the field of fitness who offer this type of instruction, are aware of the inferior style it presents, but are willing to compromise instruction in order to earn more money per minute training.
