One of the most common questions we hear at Functional Effect is:
How much does semi-private personal training cost?
It is a fair question. Before you commit to a fitness program, you should understand what you are paying for, what is included, and which option makes the most sense for your goals.
At Functional Effect in Downers Grove, our semi-private personal training combines individualized programming with hands-on coaching. You train alongside other members, but you follow a program designed specifically for you.
For new clients, one of the best ways to get started is with one of our 12-week coaching programs.
12-Week Semi-Private Personal Training Packages
We offer two primary 12-week options depending on how frequently you want to train.
Silver Package: $99 Per Week
Our 12-Week Silver Package is $99 per week and includes semi-private personal training twice per week with a coach.
This is a great option for someone who wants a consistent training schedule, professional coaching, accountability, and an individualized program without needing unlimited sessions.
Over 12 weeks, you have the opportunity to establish a consistent routine, learn how to train properly, and begin building measurable strength and fitness.
Gold Package: $139 Per Week
Our 12-Week Gold Package is $139 per week and includes unlimited semi-private personal training with a coach.
This option is designed for someone who wants to train more frequently and take full advantage of the coaching environment at Functional Effect.
Rather than being limited to two coached training sessions each week, Gold gives you the flexibility to train more often based on your program, goals, schedule, and ability to recover.
Silver vs. Gold: What's the Difference?
The biggest difference is training frequency.
Silver: $99/week
12-week program
2 coached training sessions per week
Individualized programming
Professional coaching and accountability
Gold: $139/week
12-week program
Unlimited coached training
Individualized programming
Professional coaching and accountability
Neither option means everyone is doing the same workout.
That is one of the biggest differences between semi-private personal training and traditional group fitness.
What Is Semi-Private Personal Training?
Semi-private personal training gives you many of the benefits of personal training while allowing several people to train with a coach at the same time.
However, you are not simply joining a class and following the workout written on the board.
Your program is built around your goals, abilities, training experience, limitations, and progress.
Someone training next to you may be working toward a completely different goal and following a completely different program.
You get the energy and community of training around other people while still receiving individualized programming and professional coaching.
Why Not Just Join a Regular Gym?
A traditional gym gives you access to equipment.
Then you have to figure out the rest.
What exercises should you do?
How much weight should you use?
How many sets and repetitions?
How often should you train?
Are you performing the movements correctly?
What should change when you stop making progress?
What happens if your knee, shoulder, or back starts bothering you?
For experienced exercisers, figuring those things out independently may be perfectly reasonable.
But many people do not need another gym membership.
They need a plan.
Functional Effect is built around providing that plan.
What Are You Paying For?
You are not paying someone to count your repetitions.
You are paying for coaching, programming, accountability, and a system designed to help you make progress.
Our coaches help determine what you should be doing, teach you how to perform your exercises correctly, monitor your progress, and adjust your program as your capabilities improve.
And because Functional Effect combines fitness, chiropractic care, rehabilitation, and recovery under one roof, we can take a much more comprehensive approach when limitations or injuries become part of the equation.
Is Semi-Private Training Good for Adults Over 40?
Adults over 40 are one of the primary populations we serve at Functional Effect.
As you get older, individualized programming becomes increasingly valuable.
You may have previous injuries.
Your mobility may have changed.
Your recovery may be different than it was 20 years ago.
And your goals probably are not the same either.
You can absolutely continue getting stronger as you age.
But that does not mean you should blindly follow the same workout as everyone else in the room.
Your training should make sense for your body and your goals.
What If I'm Completely Out of Shape?
You do not need to get in shape before coming to Functional Effect.
That is our job.
Some people come to us after years of consistent exercise.
Others have not trained in 10 or 20 years.
We start with where you are today and progressively build from there.
You do not have to keep up with anyone else.
Your starting point is your starting point.
What Happens After the 12 Weeks?
Twelve weeks gives you an opportunity to build consistency, learn the system, develop your strength and fitness, and experience what training at Functional Effect is actually like.
From there, clients who want to continue can transition into one of our ongoing membership options based on their goals and desired training frequency.
The goal is not to create a 12-week quick fix.
We want to help you develop a sustainable approach to fitness that can become part of your life for years.
