Small Group Training offers the best of both Group Exercise and Personal Training. It provides both social interactions with peers and the attention of a Personal Trainer. You will have a reserved spot for every session. With class sizes of 10 or less, the trainer will be able to directly help you progress. Each class is held once a week throughout the quarter/session and offers a unique style of training.

All Small Group Training classes will take place in the ARC Rig Area or the Functional Space unless specified otherwise.
