Fitness program offers personal attention with lower costs
BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com
The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center is kicking off a new training program with the motto "Small Group, Big Results."
This program allows students and faculty members to attend personal training in groups of three to six people. Participants can enroll in either one- or two-monthlong plans, with sessions twice a week.
The group personal training program starts at $7 per session, which Webb says is the most cost-effective package for students and staff.
up and be randomly placed with an exercise group.
"A well-trained personal trainer will provide life-changing advice, motivation and fitness education, which can ensure that you are getting the most out of the time that you invest in your fitness training."
The goal is for participants to reap the benefits of exercising with friends while working with a personal trainer.
Unlike personal training, this program offers participants benefits of group support, such as increased motivation.
Long recommends working with a personal trainer rather than just going to the fitness center to exercise with a group of friends.
Registration for the group personal training program began last
week. Actual sessions begin next week.
"They will get group motivation and individual attention. This can lead to more accountability and ultimately goal achievement for each person," Amber Long, coordinator of fitness for KU Recreation Services.
"A good personal trainer is well worth the investment." Long said.
For more information, visit the office in the fitness center.
The exercise groups can be formed in a few different ways. For example, a group of friends can choose a specific time to exercise,and then a personal trainer will be assigned to them. Or, a group of friends can choose a specific personal trainer and have a time assigned to them. The final option is for an individual to sign
"Knowing that others are counting on you to attend group exercise sessions makes you more likely to continue showing up. This accountability is extremely important for those who are beginning exercisers or for those who struggled with consistency in their exercise programs," said Laura Webb, program manager for KUFit.

David Wilson, the personal training program manager, said exercising with a group could also help individuals push themselves more than if they were exercising alone.
"In a group environment, each person tends to work harder and push themselves just a little bit further." Wilson said. "Most of this is because group training can foster a healthy sense of competition, which gets everyone more involved and makes our job as trainers fun and rewarding."
