Semi-Private Training

Two people, one hour, two individual programs. From $75 per person. The same coaching and the same programming as a 1-on-1 session — you just share the hour, and it costs each of you less.

This is not a class. I write your program and your partner's separately, around each of your goals, and coach you both through your own work. Most pairs are a husband and wife, two friends, or a parent and an adult child — but it works just as well with someone you've never met (see below).

Prices are per person, and you each buy and book your own. Booking together keeps it simple and makes sure neither of you gets charged the 1-on-1 rate by accident.

Three ways to pay for it

1. A single session — $75 each

Nothing to commit to. Go to Book a Session, pick a time and pay there — and have your partner do the same for that time.

Book one session

2. A pack — good if your schedule is unpredictable

Sessions bought up front and used whenever you like. Packs last six months.

8-session pack $560 $70.00 each
12-session pack $816 $68.00 each

3. A monthly membership — the lowest rate

Billed monthly per person, renews automatically, cancel any time.

4 sessions a monthAbout once a week $270/mo $67.50 each
8 sessions a monthAbout twice a week $520/mo $65.00 each
12 sessions a monthAbout three times a week $720/mo $60.00 each

Sessions are a monthly pool, not a fixed weekly slot — use them however suits you that month. They don't carry into the next month. You and your partner don't have to be on the same plan.

Start a membership

No partner? You can still get this rate.

Plenty of people want semi-private and have nobody to bring. You have two ways round it, and neither costs you anything extra:

  • Take an open partner spot. On Book a Session, any time marked "partner spot open" is a session another client has already booked and is happy to share. Book it and you pay the $75 partner rate.
  • Ask me to find you a regular partner. Type your email on Book a Session and tap "Find me a partner", then tell me which days and times suit you. I'll match you with another client looking for the same thing and introduce you. You can come off the list any time.

If you'd rather not share at all, that's a 1-on-1 session — see 1-on-1 training.

Find a partner spot

If your partner doesn't come

If you end up training alone, that hour was a 1-on-1, so you pay the 1-on-1 rate for it — unless your partner cancelled inside 24 hours. Then you still pay the partner rate and they're charged for the late cancellation. You're never penalised for someone else's no-show.

Where you train, and the off-site fee

The Fairfield studio is the default and carries no extra charge — see the equipment list. Semi-private also runs at Focus Fitness Lab in downtown Lexington, on exactly the same rules and rates.

  • Single sessions and packs off-site: a flat $25 per appointment — one fee for the hour, not per person, so by default the two of you split it. If your partner cancels in time, it falls to whoever is still training, because I'm still making the drive.
  • Off-site memberships: travel is included, so no per-session fee at all — $311, $602 or $843 a month per person for 4, 8 or 12 sessions.
  • At your own place: the fee depends on the distance — ask me before you book.

What comes with it

  • Your analytics dashboard — included free with a membership, $15 a month for pack and single-session clients.
  • A participation agreement by email when you book — a couple of minutes, once, signed before your first session.
  • 24 hours' notice to cancel, and the session goes straight back into your balance.
How to start
  1. Just one session? Go straight to Book a Session — pick a time and pay in one step.
  2. Pack or membership? Buy it first, using a button above. Your partner buys their own.
  3. Then both of you go to Book a Session, type the email you paid with, and pick the same time.

Rather not do this online? Call or text me at (540) 324-9603 and I'll set both of you up.
