Choose the Option that’s best for you:
One-on-One and Small Group Options — You Choose:
Not everyone trains the same way. MCC offers both one-on-one personal training and small group sessions so you can find the format that fits your schedule, budget, and learning style.
- One-on-one personal training — a dedicated session entirely focused on your goals, your form, and your progress. Your trainer tracks your metrics session to session and safely challenges you beyond what you’d push on your own.
- Small group personal training — coached group sessions (typically 2–4 members) that combine the energy of a group with the attention of a personal trainer. A lower-cost path to certified, individualized coaching.
Available in 30-Minute Session | 50-Minute Session
What a Personal Training Session Looks Like
A typical session runs 45–60 minutes: a dynamic warm-up, a strength or conditioning block built around functional movements, and a cooldown. Common personal training exercises include compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, rows), kettlebell circuits, core work, and cardiovascular intervals — all scaled so every member trains at the right intensity for their level.
Your trainer tracks your progress session to session, adjusts loads and tempo as you improve, and coaches your form throughout. Beginners and experienced lifters train side by side safely because every exercise is programmed with modifications built in.
