The Paseo Club is a social club in the Santa Clarita Valley that has supported the community in meeting their fitness goals for twenty years.
In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about all the small group training programs at the Paseo Club — what they are, the benefits, when they are, and the costs.
What are small group training programs?
Small group training is specialty exercise classes at the Paseo Club. These classes are innovative, challenging, and fun. They are led by skilled instructors with many years of experience so that you are getting the best in fitness training.
Small group classes are small, meaning the number of students is limited to between eight and ten people. This allows each member to get personalized attention during class, and help you learn proper technique and form. Also, if you have any injury or limited range of mobility, the instructor can scale or modify movements according to your ability.
What are the benefits of small group training?
Attending small group training programs has several benefits.
- Faster results happen when you attend small group training. Instructors know how to encourage you to reach new levels of fitness. They also design classes to maximize your progress.
- Accountability increases when you work out in a small group. Fellow attendees become friends and team members, each of you supporting the other in meeting fitness goals. This inspires program adherence so you never miss a class.
- Nutritional support is an essential part of learning how to be healthy. Greatest Results and Pilates Body Makeover offer guidance and advice about how to eat well.
