On Fire Training's Small Group Fitness Classes

Join our supportive Small Group Fitness Classes and challenge yourself while having fun with like-minded individuals. Here are some reasons why On Fire Training's Small Group Fitness Classes are beneficial to you:

1. Personalized Attention

• Small group settings, limited to six participants or fewer, allow trainers to focus on individual participants, ensuring proper technique, form, and safety. This minimizes injury risk and helps each person progress effectively.
• Statistics: The American Council on Exercise (ACE) highlights that small group training provides nearly the same level of attention as one-on-one sessions, improving outcomes by 30% (ACE, 2016, p. 5).

On Fire Training Advantage: 

• Our one-on-one coaching within small groups provides tailored support, maximizing each participant's potential, while maintaining individual focus despite the group setting.

2. Community and Motivation

• Exercising with others fosters camaraderie and creates a supportive environment that enhances motivation.
• Research: A study by Iowa State University found that participants in group fitness settings are more consistent, arrive on time, and are less likely to drop out compared to solo exercisers (University Study, 2018, p. 3).

On Fire Training Advantage: 

• Our small group sizes foster a tight-knit community, ensuring everyone encourages each other, amplifying motivation and progress.

3. Cost-Effective

• Small group training offers high-quality coaching at a lower price than one-on-one personal training.
• Data: The National Health and Fitness Association reports that the average cost per session in a small group setting is $33.96, while the average fee paid for personal training was nearly twice as much, at $65.86 per session. Making it accessible across income levels (Health and Fitness, 2019, p. 12).

On Fire Training Advantage: 

• We deliver personalized training in a group setting, offering premium service at an affordable rate, making fitness accessible for all.

4. Structured Programming

• On Fire Training's Small Group Fitness Classes  are designed to provide balanced workouts that include strength, endurance, and mobility. The programs are structured for gradual progression, ensuring participants improve safely and effectively over time.

On Fire Training Advantage:  

• Our expertise in crafting personalized programs ensures that each participant’s needs are met while building progressively, at a pace that suits them.

5. Accountability

• The group dynamic in small classes of six people or fewer helps participants stay accountable to their fitness goals. Knowing others are expecting them to show up creates an additional layer of commitment.
• Support: According to the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (2019, p. 45), accountability in group settings has been linked to a 22% increase in exercise adherence.

On Fire Training Advantage:  

• Our supportive and motivating environment makes it easier to stay on track, as our community holds each other accountable every step of the way.

6. Competitive Edge

• A small group setting promotes friendly competition, encouraging participants to lift heavier or perform more reps, which drives greater progress over time. This healthy rivalry helps participants push beyond their perceived limits.

On Fire Training Advantage: 

• Our trainers create a supportive but competitive environment where everyone challenges themselves and gets the extra push to exceed their goals.

7. Mental and Emotional Benefits

• Regular participation in group fitness significantly reduces stress and improves emotional well-being.
• Study Findings: Research published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association found that group exercise reduces stress and enhances overall quality of life (Journal of Osteopathy, 2017, p. 22).

On Fire Training Advantage:  

• The community support in our small groups promotes an emotional boost, where participants experience reduced stress and enhanced well-being while achieving their fitness goals.

8. Increased Metabolic Rate

• Weightlifting increases muscle mass, which plays a key role in boosting the body’s metabolic rate. Muscle tissue requires more energy to maintain than fat, meaning individuals with higher muscle mass burn more calories even at rest. This effect supports long-term weight management and improved energy levels.
• Evidence: According to a study in the Journal of Applied Physiology (2018, p. 84), every pound of muscle added can increase resting metabolic rate by approximately 6-10 calories per day, amplifying overall calorie burn.

On Fire Training Advantage:  

• Our balanced programming, which focuses on strength training, helps participants boost their metabolism and sustain higher energy levels throughout the day.

9. Social Interaction

• Small group classes, capped at six participants, create opportunities to build friendships and connect with like-minded individuals, making fitness more enjoyable and sustainable.
• Evidence: The International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology found that group cohesion positively predicts exercise enjoyment, which enhances consistency (Sport Psychology Journal, 2020, p. 31).

On Fire Training Advantage:  

• On Fire Training fosters a close-knit fitness community where social bonds are formed, making workouts fun and sustainable for everyone involved.

10. Health and Functional Fitness

• Weightlifting enhances muscle strength, metabolism, bone density, and functional fitness, which are crucial for overall health and chronic disease prevention.
• Data: The American Heart Association reports that strength training programs reduce the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and diabetes by up to 40% (AHA, 2020, p. 15).

On Fire Training Advantage:  

• Our carefully structured strength training routines help build overall health and functional fitness, reducing the risk of chronic conditions while improving quality of life.
