Every client deserves a plan designed just for them — and results that show it.
What Is Personal Training?
Personal Training at Sarge Athletics is a one-on-one fitness experience tailored to your body, your history, and your goals.
- Before you lift a weight, we perform a comprehensive evaluation to understand your movement patterns, strengths, weaknesses, and any limitations.
- From there, we build a completely individualized training program — no generic routines, no copy-and-paste workouts.
- Each session is coached in person by highly experienced professionals who watch your form, adjust as needed, and progress your program intelligently as you improve.
This is personal training built for safety, progress, and sustainability — whether you're just starting out, returning from injury, or a seasoned athlete chasing new strengths.

What to Expect
First Session
Your child will be greeted by a coach who talks with you about their goals, athletic background, and any movement or medical considerations. We’ll start with basic movement assessments to tailor the program appropriately, then warm up with mobility work and ease into foundational training that emphasizes proper form over intensity.
Ongoing Training
As your child progresses, sessions evolve to include bodyweight movements, light resistance and conditioning circuits, agility drills, and mobility work. Coaches focus on teaching proper mechanics — movement quality over heavy lifting — which is especially vital for youth development. (St. Louis Children's Hospital)

FAQ
Is strength training safe for kids and teens?
Yes — when a program is designed and supervised properly. Well-structured youth resistance training improves strength and power, enhances motor skills, and reduces sports-related injury risk. (NSCA)
How often should my child train?
We recommend 2–3 sessions per week, each lasting 45–60 minutes. That frequency balances effective training with proper recovery — ideal for youth. (Sarge Athletics)
Do I need to buy special equipment for my child?
Nope. All training happens at our gym with age-appropriate tools — bodyweight, light resistance, agility drills, and movement-focused tools.
What age is appropriate to start?
There’s no exact “magic age.” Safety and readiness depend on maturity, ability to follow instructions, and proper supervision. Our program adapts training to each child’s age and development level. (NSCA)
Will training stunt growth?
No — research shows that resistance training, when supervised and correctly programmed, does not stunt growth. On the contrary, it enhances strength, power, and bone density, supporting healthy development. (NSCA)
FAQ
Do I need experience to join Semi-Private Training?
No! Each session is personalized, so beginners and experienced athletes alike get exactly what they need.
How long are the sessions?
Semi-private sessions run 60 minutes, including warm-up and cool-down.
Can I combine this with classes?
Yes — many members pair semi-private coaching with group classes for even better results.
How is this different from personal training?
You still get personalized coaching and custom programming — but in a small-group environment, making it more cost-effective while still delivering high-touch support.
Will I be doing the same workout as others in the group?
Not necessarily. Each person follows a plan tailored to their goals, though some movements or training blocks may overlap.

FAQ
How do I get started?
Complete our contact form and we’ll reach out to schedule your free goal-setting consult.
Do I have to be “fit” before joining?
Not at all. Our programs are designed for individuals of all fitness levels. Whether you’re new, returning from a break, or advanced, your training will be scaled exactly to your starting point.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards. (Personal checks are not accepted.)
When will I see results?
While everyone progresses at a different pace, many clients — especially beginners — start to notice improved strength, mobility, and overall fitness in as little as 30 days with consistent training.
How often should I train?
We typically recommend starting at 2–4 times per week, and working toward 5 sessions per week after your body adapts. However, we’ll customize frequency based on your schedule, recovery, and goals.
Will I train alone or with others?
Personal training is one-on-one, with all eyes on your form and progress. But you’ll also become part of a supportive community of gym members with similar goals.
