What Makes Group Personal Training So Effective? (It’s Not Just the Price)
When people think about personal training, they often imagine expensive one-on-one sessions with a clipboard-wielding coach. At 4D Gym in South Melbourne, we do things differently.
We train our members 4-on-1, offering the same level of attention and expertise you’d expect from a private personal trainer—but with the added accountability, community, and affordability that comes from group personal training.
If you’re stuck deciding between private or group PT, here’s why our hybrid model works so well.
Built-In Motivation Without the Pressure
Training alone takes discipline. Training with others builds momentum.
Our small group personal training model (4 clients max) creates just the right amount of social support and healthy pressure. You’ll be surrounded by others who are working just as hard, cheering you on between sets, and making the effort feel more enjoyable.
Unlike a big box gym class, our group sessions are structured around your individual program—so you still get the precision of a private coach, without losing the camaraderie.
Expert Programming That Works
Whether you choose private or group personal training, our coaches do more than just count reps.
Every member receives:
A customised training program tailored to your goals, history, and experience level
Progressive strength-based programming to ensure continual improvement
Expert supervision on every set to help you move safely and efficiently
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter workouts. Our expert PTs meet you where you’re at—and help you level up.
Flexible, Affordable, and Sustainable
Let’s be honest: private PT sessions five times a week aren’t realistic for most people. But that doesn’t mean you should settle for less.
At 4D Gym, we make it possible to train up to four times a week, under expert guidance, for a fraction of the price of traditional 1-on-1.
It’s personal training, done smarter—not cheaper.
And with private infrared sauna and red light therapy included in many packages, you’re getting a premium training and recovery experience all under one roof.
Designed for Real People (Not Gym Rats)
We work with clients in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond—people who want to get stronger, feel better, and build long-term habits. You don’t need to be shredded, young, or experienced to thrive here.
Our South Melbourne facility is clean, private, and welcoming—no mirrors, no crowds, no egos. Just progress.
