Small Group Personal Training in Leith, Edinburgh

Q: How many people are in a small group session?

A maximum of 3, including you. Each session is led by one of our coaches, so you still get the specialist attention you’d expect from personal training.

Q: Does everyone follow the same workout?

No. Everyone in the group follows their own programme, written around their own goals. You share the space and the energy, not the plan.

Q: How much does small group personal training cost?

Small group training is our most cost-efficient way to work with a coach, because the coach’s time is shared. Our introductory offer starts from £221, and you can see the details on the pricing page.

Q: Can I start in a small group straight away?

Most members start with 1-1 personal training for the first month so we can fine-tune your programme and technique. After that, moving into a small group is easy, and we’ll talk through what suits you best at your Free Intro.

Q: Is small group training suitable for beginners?

Yes. We specialise in working with beginners. Your programme is matched to your level, and your coach will show you every exercise and check your form throughout the session.

Q: When are sessions available?

We’re open Monday to Friday from 6am to 8:30pm and Saturday from 8am to 12pm. You book your sessions through our training app at times that suit your week.

Q: Where do sessions take place?

At our private studio in the Leith Arches, 16a Gordon Street, at the bottom of Leith Walk. Free parking is available in the Tesco car park on Duke Street, one minute away.

Small Group Training vs 1-1 vs Gym Classes

If you’re comparing your options in Edinburgh, here’s how small group personal training differs from the alternatives:

1-1 personal training: your coach’s full attention every minute, at the highest price per session.
Small group personal training: your own programme and a coach watching your technique, shared with up to 2 others, at a lower price per session.
Gym classes: everyone does the same workout, often in a large group, with little individual coaching.
Open gym membership: the cheapest option, but you write your own plan and train without a coach.

Small group training gives you most of the benefits of 1-1 coaching for less, which is why it’s our flagship service.

What Happens in a Small Group Session

Each small group session lasts one hour and has no more than 3 people. You’ll warm up together, then each person works through their own programme while the coach moves between you, checking technique, adjusting weights and keeping everyone on track.

Because the group is so small, your coach can still give you real individual attention. If an exercise doesn’t feel right, it gets changed there and then. If you’re ready to lift more, your coach will spot it.

Between sets there’s time for a chat, which is a big part of why members enjoy it. Training with the same faces each week builds a friendly, supportive community where people genuinely look forward to their sessions.

Your nutrition guidance stays personal too. Your coach keeps your training and nutrition specific to you, so you get the results of personal training in a more social setting.
