When it comes to working with an Exercise Physiologist, one of the first decisions to make is whether to join a group exercise session or book one-on-one appointments. Both offer excellent benefits—but the right choice depends on your goals, health needs, and preferences.

💪 What Is Group Exercise?

Group exercise involves working out in a small, supervised group led by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist. These sessions often focus on general fitness, strength, balance, and chronic condition management.

Benefits of Group Exercise:

✅ Motivating and social
✅ More cost-effective
✅ Supervised and structured
✅ Encourages consistency

It’s a great choice if you enjoy exercising with others and thrive on group energy.

👤 What Is One-on-One Exercise Physiology?

One-on-one sessions are private appointments tailored entirely to your needs. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a health condition, or wanting a more customised experience, this option gives you the full attention of your Exercise Physiologist.

Benefits of One-on-One:

🎯 Highly individualised programs
👂 Personal attention and feedback
🔒 Private and at-your-pace sessions
🩺 Ideal for complex or clinical needs

These sessions are best if you’re starting out, managing a medical condition, or want specialised support.

🤔 Which Option Should You Choose?

Choose one-on-one if: You’re new to exercise, need help with pain or injury, or have specific medical conditions that require individual support.
Choose group exercise if: You’re confident with your movements, looking for a social atmosphere, or want a fun, cost-effective way to stay active long-term.

✨ Many clients start with one-on-one and transition into group sessions for maintenance and motivation!
