Group Personal Training is a coaching model where multiple people train in the same session, but each person still receives individual coaching, progression planning, and accountability support.
It sits between gym memberships (no coaching) and 1-to-1 personal training (high cost, low social support).
| Model | Coaching Level | Personalisation | Cost Level | Accountability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gym Membership | None | None | Low | None |
| Fitness Classes | Instructor only | None | Low | Low |
| Group Personal Training | High | Medium-High | Medium | High |
| 1:1 Personal Training | Very High | Very High | Very High | Very High |
Normal Gym Membership
You get access to equipment - but usually little support, structure, or accountability. Many people start strong and then drift.
Large Group Fitness Classes
Fun and high energy - but usually not personalised. You follow the instructor rather than being coached individually.
1:1 Personal Training
Very effective - but often expensive and intense for many people long term.
RISE Group Personal Training
You train in a small group but still get coaching, structure, and support every session. It’s designed to be effective, sustainable, and realistic for real life.
We are not a gym.
We are not group fitness classes.
We are not 1-to-1 PT.
We exist specifically for people who want coaching, structure and accountability - without the cost or pressure of 1-to-1 training.
RISE starts with a 4-week programme designed to help you build momentum, confidence, and consistency quickly.
Over the four weeks, you’ll:
There’s a money-back guarantee because we’re confident you’ll love it and be glad you did it.
Week 1 - Getting Started
You learn how sessions work, meet the coaching team, and start building confidence. Everything is coached and adjusted to your level.
Week 2 - Building Momentum
You start to feel more comfortable, more capable, and more in control of what you’re doing.
Week 3 - Feeling The Difference
Most people notice better energy, better mood, and feeling stronger and more capable in everyday life.
Week 4 - Real Progress
You feel like someone who trains consistently, not someone who keeps starting and stopping.
You don’t need to be fit to start. You just need to be ready to begin.
Group Personal Training is for people who want:
Without paying for full 1-to-1 personal training.
Is RISE suitable for beginners?
Yes. Most people start as beginners. Everything is coached and scaled to your ability.
Do I need to be fit before starting?
No. Fitness is something you build during the programme, not something you need beforehand.
How many people are in a session?
Sessions are small enough for coaching and support, not large group fitness classes.
Is this more like personal training or a class?
It’s closer to personal training, just delivered in a group setting.
What happens after the 4 weeks?
Most people choose to continue with ongoing options after the initial 4 weeks to maintain and build on their progress.
Is RISE based in Macclesfield?
Yes. RISE works with people local to Macclesfield and nearby areas.
