About The Floor

Training With Purpose.

Small group personal training at Physical Formula is built around one thing: helping you make progress without feeling lost.

Every session is coached with intent, combining strength, conditioning and structured programming to help you move better, get stronger and stay consistent. This is not about turning up and hoping for the best. It is training with purpose, in an environment designed to support you properly.

Looking for a personal trainer in Leamington Spa?

Everything you would hire a personal trainer for. In a room of seven.

A coach who knows your name, a programme written for you, someone watching every rep. One-to-one PT is the traditional way to buy that. Here is how it compares with coached small group training, honestly.

01

The coaching

One-to-one PT

Undivided attention for the time you have paid for. Excellent while the session lasts, and entirely dependent on how good that one trainer is.

Coached small group

The same qualified eyes on every set, shared across at most seven athletes. You are corrected, cued and progressed every session, by a coaching team rather than one individual.

02

The programme

One-to-one PT

Written for you, usually session by session. Quality varies enormously; some trainers programme properly, many improvise on the day.

Coached small group

Written for you in progressive blocks and adjusted weekly. Your lifts, your history, your dodgy shoulder. The structure does not depend on one person’s mood on a Tuesday.

03

The cost

One-to-one PT

You are buying a slice of one person’s working day, and it is priced accordingly. Most people can sustain one, maybe two sessions a week.

Coached small group

The coach’s time is shared, so the economics change. Most of our members train three coached sessions a week, and frequency is what moves results.

04

The room

One-to-one PT

Often you and the trainer on the floor of a commercial gym, working around the crowds and queuing for a rack like everyone else.

Coached small group

A private studio with free parking at the door, and six other people who know your name and notice when you are away. The energy in the room does half the motivating.

05

How long it lasts

One-to-one PT

Tied to one diary and one budget. When either tightens, the sessions are usually the first thing to go, and the training goes with them.

Coached small group

Built as a training home rather than a block of sessions. Members stay for years, because the timetable, the coaching and the people make it hard to drift away.

An honest note from Olivia. Sometimes one-to-one genuinely is the right call: if you are weeks out of surgery and working to a physio’s protocol, or if no timetable survives your week. Say so on the discovery call and we will give you an honest steer, even if it points away from us. Our focus is coaching-led small group training, and plenty of people come back a few months later, ready for the room.

Members train with us from across Warwickshire, including Warwick, Kenilworth, Coventry, Stratford-upon-Avon and Solihull.

The Numbers

The Power Of Training Together.

Group training is not just nicer. It can make training feel more accountable, more motivating and easier to stick with. The right room helps you show up on the days you might not manage alone, and the right coaching makes the work count.

I have just completed 6 weeks at Physical Formula and could not recommend it more. I’ve seen such a huge difference in my strength but also my overall wellbeing. Olivia and Martin have created a really welcoming, cohesive and structured small group training environment. They are amazing coaches who take the time to check in during sessions, and you never need to think about what you are doing as you are told. Looking forward to staying at PF and seeing where it takes me. I never thought I’d look forward to a 6am HYROX session, but I do.

The best decision I have made was joining this gym. What I thought might be something I join for a few months to kickstart getting back into the gym has ended up with me still being here 3 years later. Stronger, faster and doing things I never thought I would ever put myself forward for. All down to the expertise, support, motivation and welcoming gym environment Martin & Olivia have created. A community feel where we train (hard!), sweat and still look forward to coming back to the next session.

The Questions

Small Group PT FAQs.

Everything most people want to know before they walk through the door.

No. The whole point is meeting you where you are. Programming is scaled to current fitness, current movement, current confidence, and built up from there. Most members start with no gym experience at all.
Maximum seven per session. That's the line we hold, small enough that every member gets coached on every lift, large enough that the room has energy. It's the ratio that makes the model work.
No. A class is everyone doing the same thing at the same intensity. Small group PT is structured programming, scaled to each person, coached individually, closer to private personal training than to a fitness class.
Yes, beginners are who this is built for. We start with movement standards, build confidence, then add load. Most members tell us they'd never have walked into a regular gym, and that's exactly why this works.
Yes, both, in every block. Strength is the foundation, conditioning is layered on, HYROX-style work is mixed in for capacity. It's a complete training programme rather than a single style of fitness.
Three to four sessions a week is the sweet spot for most members. Two will move the needle. Five gets you peak. Consistency matters more than volume, three good sessions every week beat six chaotic ones.
Small group personal training is coached gym training in a cohort of four to seven people, led in person by a qualified coach for the entire session. Each person follows a structured programme scaled to their fitness, movement and goals, but trains alongside a small group at the same time. It sits between one-to-one personal training and a fitness class: closer to the coaching quality of private PT, at a fraction of the price, with the added benefit of the shared energy of a small room.
One-to-one PT is a coach's undivided attention for the whole session, with your programme built and cued in real time. Small group personal training gives you the same programming and the same coach, but in a group of up to seven people. You get individual attention on every lift, but the coach's eye is shared across the room. You also get a community you would not get training alone. The closest research we know of is a 2017 review of 14 trials by O'Keeffe and colleagues in the British Journal of Sports Medicine: group and one-to-one physiotherapy exercise had similar effects on pain and disability. It studied patients with back, neck, knee or shoulder pain, not gym members, so treat it as a pointer rather than proof.
One-to-one personal training means paying for a coach's whole session on your own, which is why it is the most expensive way to be coached. Small group personal training shares that coach across a cohort of up to seven, so on a monthly membership each session costs a fraction of private PT. For most people looking to train two to four times a week, small group PT is significantly better value than one-to-one, and better value than a cheap gym membership plus occasional PT sessions.
No. Everyone starts with our 6 Week Experience, which is a six-week paid programme designed as both a proper coaching block and a chance for you and the coaches to work out whether Physical Formula is the right long-term home. After six weeks, if you want to continue as a member, membership is billed monthly with no long tie-in. If it is not the right fit for either side, you simply finish at the end of the six weeks.
