Semi-Private Training in Nampa
Personal training in a small group setting.
You get your own program, your own coach, and your own attention. You train alongside one or two other people, which means team energy, shared accountability, and a lower price than one-on-one training.
What Is Semi-Private Training?
Semi-private training (SPT) is small group training with personalized coaching. You train with one or two other people in our Nampa gym (max three per session), and everyone has their own individualized program. One coach manages the session and coaches each person. Think of it as personal training with a couple of workout buddies.
What You Get With Semi-Private Training
You stop guessing what to do
Your program is built for YOUR goals and body. No more wasted workouts wondering if you're doing the right thing.

Your coach tracks your lifts, adjusts your weights, and ensures you're progressing every week. You see measurable results.
You feel capable again
Daily tasks get easier. You move better. You feel confident in your body. That's the point.
You get expert eyes in every session
Every session is coached start to finish. You get cues, corrections, and adjustments in real time. You're never just handed a workout.

Less than the cost of 1-on-1 training. All the personal attention you actually need. No wasted gym sessions figuring it out alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
+Semi-private training vs personal training: which is right for me?
Personal training is one-on-one with maximum customization. Semi-private gives you the same individualized programming and direct coaching, but you train alongside one or two others, which adds team energy and lowers the cost. Most people who don't need full one-on-one attention land in semi-private and stay there.
+What if I'm at a different fitness level?
Everyone has their own program.
+What if I have an injury or limitation?
Your coach works around it.
+Will I train with the same people?
Mostly yes.
+How often should I train?
We recommend at least 2 times a week but 3 is optimal for most people. This is why a Hybrid of SPT and group training is a great option for most people.
+Can I add group training?
Yes — Hybrid membership ($328/month).
