SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING

Semi-Private Personal Training

Personal Training at Vitruvian Fitness is the same type of individualized and customized programming you get with 1-on-1 training. Since 2010, we've had a unique approach that we call Semi-Private Personal Training. The only difference between 1-on-1 and Semi-Private is that you’re sharing the time of a personal trainer with up to 4 other people in a Semi-Private session. It's still an exercise program designed specifically for you - not a small group class. You get all the attention you need and all the room to thrive.


It’s a team-oriented approach and it’s highly effective.


You may be working out side by side with a person who is rehabbing an injury, training for Ironman, someone improving body composition, a new mom working their way back to fitness, or maybe a retiree who is lifting weights to reclaim their energy and strength. Everybody is here for their own reasons, working on their own program, experiencing and enjoying the camaraderie of working hard together.

Frequently Asked Questions

See some common questions and answers below, or call us at 303-455-0437

  • What is semi-private personal training?

    Semi-Private Training is individualized and customized exercise training. Instead of one-on-one, you’re sharing the time of a personal trainer with up to 4 other people. You get all the attention you need and all the room to thrive. It’s a team-oriented approach and it’s highly effective.

  • How do you match me with other clients?

    We don’t! Everyone on the training floor is working on his or her own program. Nobody is matched up or grouped into ability-levels.

  • How does that work when you have clients of very different abilities training together?

    It actually works exceptionally well. Everyone gets all the attention and coaching they need while providing support and inspiration to the others in the group. Teamwork makes the dream work!

  • Do I need to bring a friend or my own group for this to work?

    We’d love it if you brought your friends but that’s not at all necessary. You pick the days and times you want to work out. We’ll fill the rest of the hour with other clients. If we don’t have anyone else to work out with you that hour, you’re still doing your own program and we still call it “semi-private.”

  • How do you design my training program?

    Vitruvian Fitness Personal Training is a totally customized training program designed for your specific goals. We evaluate your exercise history, injury and health concerns, and current movement abilities. Then we design a program that will get you from where you are today to where you want to go.

  • What is the Functional Movement Screen?

    The “FMS” is a series of 7 simple movements we’d like all people to be able to do with some degree of proficiency. It’s a measure of your movement abilities, not strengths. Your starting point in your program is based on what we observe when you do the screen.

  • Do you do One-on-One Training?

    In some circumstances, one-on-one training may be appropriate based on your unique concerns, goals, the time you have to allocate to your training, and other factors. However, you should know we have trained clients with major medical issues in a semi-private environment with great success.

  • What fitness levels do you cater to?

    We cater to all fitness levels provided your doctor has given you medical clearance to exercise in a non-medical environment. We’ve worked with people who get winded walking in from the car and we’ve worked with elite, extreme, and collegiate athletes and everyone in between.

  • What kind of shoes should I wear for working out?

    We can answer this question on several different levels.


    1. Clean and Dry Shoes! Please don’t wear shoes inside that you were wearing outside - even just in from the parking lot. You will be spending a lot of time on the floor – often face down – and we want to keep the floor clean for everybody. If you're tracking in dirt, mud, sand, water, snow, goose or dog poop, you or the next person is going to be lying in it eventually.
    2. We like shoes that don’t have a heel lift. We especially don’t like running shoes with artificial arch supports, stabilization, and elevated heals. Running shoes are for running. Lems, Xero, Altra, Converse, New Balance, Merrell, Five Fingers, Nike and others all have versions of a shoe with minimal support and no heel lift.
    3. Bare Feet. We believe that feet usually don’t need any external support and will thrive if left “un-shod.” Of course, if you’re at risk of stubbing your toe OR you have a fungus OR medical instruction to wear shoes, then bare feet aren’t for you.
  • Do you have towels?

    Yes. 

  • Do you coach bodybuilders or MMA fighters?

    That’s not our specialty and if that's what you are looking for, you'd be better served in a gym that specializes in those specific activities.

  • What does Vitruvian mean?

    In 1492, Leonardo Da Vinci drew the Vitruvian Man based on the works of a Roman architect named Vitruvius. Da Vinci took these concepts and observations of balance, proportion and symmetry as they relate to architecture and applied them to the human body in his famous drawing.

  • I don't get your domain name, vmfit.com. What's it mean?

    Vitruvian Man Fitness. Vmfit is short and easy to write and not that prone to misspelling. And it was available when we registered it!
