Why Altered Athletics No Longer Offers Traditional 1-on-1 Personal Training

We didn’t stop offering in-person 1-on-1 personal training because it didn’t work — we stopped because something worked better.

Over time, we noticed a clear pattern:

  • Clients stayed more consistent in small group environments
  • Motivation increased with built-in accountability
  • Results improved when coaching, community, and structure worked together

Traditional 1-on-1 training often relied too heavily on motivation alone. Miss a session, and momentum stalled. Small group training solved that problem — without sacrificing personal attention.

For clients who truly need individualized programming and flexibility, we kept online personal training as a true 1-on-1 coaching option.

Our goal is simple: deliver the best results, not cling to outdated models.

Our small group training and 1-1 Online Personal Training are our most popular programs, offering the same expert coaching with the added motivation of a supportive community—at a lower cost.

What Replaced 1-on-1 Personal Training (And Why It Works Better)

Number 1 icon

Small Group Training (Our In-Person Focus)

Small group training is what replaced traditional 1-on-1 at Altered Athletics — and for most people, it’s the better choice.

You still receive hands-on coaching, form correction, and programming guidance — just with the added benefits of accountability, energy, and support.

Why clients love small group training:

  • Individual coaching inside a small group setting
  • Strong accountability without pressure
  • Consistent scheduling that builds habits
  • A supportive, women-focused environment
  • More motivation, better adherence, and real results

Online Personal Training (True 1-on-1, Delivered Remotely)

For clients who prefer training at home, travel frequently, or want fully personalized programming, online personal training remains available.

This option delivers true 1-on-1 coaching — without the scheduling and location constraints of in-person sessions.

Online personal training includes:

  • Personalized training programs
  • Direct coach access and guidance
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Ideal for busy or remote lifestyles

You don’t have to figure it out alone—your personal fitness trainer will make sure you have the right tools to fuel your success. Woman, we got you!
