Why Group Personal Training Works (Even Better Than You Think)

There’s a common misconception that group training is just for people who can’t afford a personal trainer. But the truth is, when done right, group personal training can outperform one-on-one coaching—especially in consistency, motivation, and long-term results.

At 4D Gym, our group sessions aren’t “classes.” They’re structured, semi-private sessions with tailored programming, real coaching, and serious outcomes. Let’s take a closer look at why our South Melbourne members are loving group training—and why you might, too.

1. You Still Get a Personalised Program

The biggest myth about group training? That it’s one-size-fits-all. At 4D Gym, that couldn’t be further from the truth. When you join our group personal training, you get a fully customised training program based on your goals, strength level, injury history, and experience.

Our expert coaches oversee every session, correcting form, adjusting weights, and keeping you progressing—just like they would in a private PT session.

2. You Train in a Small, Private Environment

Forget crowded commercial gyms or chaotic group fitness classes. Our facility is purpose-built for small group strength training, with a maximum of 4–6 people per coach. That means no fighting for equipment, no intimidation, and no being lost in the crowd.

Every session is focused, efficient, and designed to help you get stronger in a supportive, private setting.

3. You Benefit From Camaraderie and Accountability

Training with others—especially people with similar goals—adds something powerful: momentum. You’ll push harder, show up more consistently, and stay motivated when you’re surrounded by a community that’s cheering you on.

And because we cap our sessions and coach every lift, there’s no hiding at the back of the room. You’ll be seen, supported, and coached every step of the way.

4. You Get More Value for Your Investment

Private personal training is powerful, but let’s face it—it’s not always realistic for people who want to train multiple times per week. Group personal training gives you access to expert coaching at a fraction of the cost—without sacrificing quality.

You’ll receive the same personalised program and the same high level of attention, just delivered in a small-group format.
