Group for Semi Private Personal Training-Right side of lake

I have found a great personal trainer that I would like to do semi private classes with every Friday morning (outside) in the area near the Pfannenstiel. Does anyone have interest in joining. The prices are quite good and the more participants the cost goes down.

It would be a combination of endurance and strength training working with free weights, elastic bands, etc..

The price is for 3people 90CHF per person. Obviously the price goes down if there are more people.

I have done a class with the trainer and she is fabulous and very motivating.

How long does it go for? What time does it start?

90 CHFs seems pretty steep though?

1 hour..I was thinking around 9am on Fridays but that is open for discussion if others want it earlier or later. Well, if 5 people sign on the price could go down significantly..So it could be more around the 50sfr mark to negotiate...

What is the benefit of sharing a "Personal" trainer among so many people then ?

At those prices and with that numbers, the whole group could take training lessons on a Gym and get the same results

She tailors the workout to her clients. And why not enjoy working out with someone who knows what they are doing outside of a gym atmosphere, in nature..

To each his/her own!

Some people like to train with other people for motivation, and one of the most appealing factors is that it is outdoors next to the lake.

Re: Group for Semi Private Personal Training-Right side of lake

Sure, not doubt I would like that too.

But by definition a "Personal" trainer would prepare a fitness plan specifically for you and for that reason I understand I could pay 100 CHF/hour to a trainer.

But 3 each 90 CHF ?, that is CHF 270 per hour and seems quite high and at the end the training hour would not be that "Personal"

In tennis for example, you can get one hour private lesson for CHF 100.- ( swiss prices ) or CHF 50 for a non-swiss-certified instructor.

Once I shared a private lesson with a friend, she needed much more attention than me, so at the end I spent most of the hour watching and waiting ...
