Our Semi-Private Training program blends the individualized attention of personal training with the energy and accountability of a small group. With a 1:6 coach-to-athlete ratio, every session is tailored to your goals so you can train smarter, stay consistent, and see meaningful progress.
Semi-Private Training at Sarge Athletics gives you the structure, coaching, and personalization of 1:5 training — delivered in a supportive small-group environment. Your coach customizes each session based on your goals, skill level, and training needs, ensuring you build strength, move better, and progress safely at your own pace.
Our coaches don’t just lead workouts — they guide your journey. With personalized programming, consistent accountability, and expert instruction, you’ll stay motivated and confident every step of the way.
You’ll love our Semi-Private Training because:
Every Semi-Private Training Membership Includes:
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.
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)
You’ll meet with a coach to discuss your goals, training background, and any movement limitations. Together, you’ll complete an initial workout to establish your baseline and build a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Each semi-private session includes warm-up, skill work, and personalized training blocks designed specifically for you — all while benefiting from the energy of a small group and the direct support of your coach.
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)
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.
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.
