Group HIIT vs. Private Training
- Timed stations, same class for everyone that day
- High energy, community atmosphere
- Lower per-session cost
- One coach watching 20–30 people
- Great for general conditioning and accountability
- A program built for your body, goals and injury history
- One coach, one focus — you
- Form corrected rep by rep in a private suite
- Train on your schedule, not a class timetable
- Best for specific goals, comebacks from injury, or faster progress
Which is right for you?
If you thrive on group energy, want a set-it-and-forget-it schedule of daily classes, and your main goal is general fitness, a group HIIT studio is a solid, affordable choice. There’s a reason formats like F45 are popular.
Private training earns its place when the details matter: you’re working around a nagging shoulder or back, you have a specific target (drop body fat, add strength, prep for an event), or you’ve plateaued in classes and need programming that adapts to you. In a private suite, your Self Made coach adjusts load, tempo and exercise selection every session — something no 25-person class can do.
Many of our Del Mar clients have done both. They came from group classes wanting a level of personalization those classes can’t offer, and stayed because the results tracked their own goals, not the day’s whiteboard.
