Small Group Personal Training
— Strictly four per session with The personalisation of a private coach
So…
Maybe you’ve never felt comfortable in busy gym environments. Maybe the idea of training around others — especially at different ability levels — feels intimidating.
You might have wanted to get stronger…
To lift weights properly…
To understand how to use equipment with confidence — but felt unsure, and had no one there to guide you.
Perhaps you've simply reached the point where you know your body needs more.
More strength.
More mobility.
More energy.
You’ve heard how important it is to maintain muscle as you get older — not just for how you look, but for how you move, feel, and live day-to-day.
At the same time, you don’t want to train completely on your own.
You want some connection.
A good, interactive group.
A bit of enjoyment in the process.
But most of all — you want a personal trainer and a coach who understands you.
Someone who notices when you’re having an off day.
Who can adapt the session to suit you.
Who knows when to push — and when to adjust.
Who has the knowledge about different conditions and health issues that can sometimes feel like an obstacle to getting fitter.
That’s exactly what these sessions are designed for.
At our West Street, Dorking studio, we run a schedule of small group personal training sessions — each capped at just four people. (not 6 or 8 people - but just enough where we you get real undivided attention).
Every session is carefully structured around ability and need, with dedicated spaces for:
Complete beginners or those returning to fitness
Intermediate and progressing clients
Over 65s and 70+
Those managing injuries, recovering from illness, or navigating long-term health conditions.
This means you’re not trying to ‘keep up’ — and you’re never left behind. You’re training at the right level, with the right support, every time.
Session Times & Availability
These are structured, small-group sessions with limited spaces. Each session runs at a fixed time each week, with specific groups based on ability and need.
Check the schedule for the times that could work for you.
The sessions suit people who are ready for consistency, steady progression and who are ready to train at least once to twice a week in order to achieve greater results.
Beginners
Just starting out, returning after a long break, or simply never found your feet in a gym? These sessions focus on the fundamentals — learning to move well, building strength safely, and developing early confidence.
You'll build aerobic foundations and pick up the core skills that most people never get properly taught — how to deadlift, squat and lunge with good technique, how to use dumbbells, free-weights, kettlebells and TRX effectively, and if you fancy it, how to row properly on the Concept 2.
Intermediate
For people with a solid foundation of training experience who are ready to push further and see real, measurable progress. You know your way around the basics — and you're done with sessions that don't challenge you or move you forward.
Programming at this level is structured around progressive overload — gradually increasing demand on your body over time so that strength, endurance and capability continue to develop, rather than plateau. You'll work with increased load and more complex progressions, with results you can actually track and feel.
Over 65s
Designed specifically for older adults who want to stay strong, mobile, and independent. Sessions focus on the things that matter most as we get older — functional strength, balance, posture, and freedom of movement. Unhurried, carefully structured, and always adapted to individual needs and joint health. Whether you're active and looking to maintain what you have, or rebuilding from a lower baseline, these sessions meet you exactly where you are.
Injury, Rehabilitation & Chronic Health (Afternoon sessions)
For people managing ongoing health conditions, recovering from injury or surgery, or returning to exercise after illness. Paul has extensive experience working alongside people managing diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular conditions, post-surgical recovery, and complex long-term health challenges. If you're unsure whether exercise is appropriate for your situation, a free consultation is always the right first step.
Currently in active cancer treatment? If your medical team has recommended resistance exercise as part of your care, Paul offers 50% off monthly subscriptions for these afternoon sessions.

Subscriptions are structured around a three month minimum. One month isn’t enough if you’re wanting to body composition change, hence why your first month is rarely about dramatic transformation. It's about settling in — learning movements properly, understanding your body, building the habit of showing up. Proprioception, technique, early confidence. The foundations that everything else is built on.
Real, lasting change starts to happen in months two and three — once those foundations are in place and your body begins to adapt and progress in ways you can genuinely feel.
Three months isn't a contract designed to tie you in. It's the minimum time needed to actually see what's possible.

Honestly? It might be the best place for you.
Most people who walk through our door for the first time haven't exercised in years — or have never trained properly at all. That's not a problem here. It's exactly what the beginners sessions are designed for.
You won't be expected to know everything. You won't be compared to anyone else in the room. And you won't be rushed through a generic induction and left to figure the rest out on your own.
What you will get is proper time — to learn, to ask questions, to understand what your body is doing and why. With someone watching every movement and adapting things specifically for you.
The only thing you need to walk through the door is a genuine desire to change something. Everything else we can work with.
