Small Group Strength

Coached training. Group energy.

Up to 15 members per coach, every session built on ME Method principles. The energy of a bootcamp with the coaching and real strength programming of a proper gym, and a community that shows up together.

Members working through a coach-led small group strength training session at Studio ME Fitness in Northeast Minneapolis.

Strong coaching. A room full of people who show up.

Small group training at Studio ME is coach-led and built on the same principles that drive everything we do: progressive loading, movement quality, and programming with a purpose. Nobody is guessing, and nobody is going through the motions.

Your coach is in the room for every session, moving through the group, correcting form, adjusting weights, and making sure each person is working at the right intensity. Up to 15 members means real energy and a pace that pulls you forward. It also means your coach knows who you are and notices when something is off.

Some people train best when a room full of people is working hard alongside them. Small group is built for that. If you have loved the energy of a bootcamp but wanted real coaching and programming behind it, this is it: deliberate strength training, a coach who keeps it honest, and a community that makes the early morning or the end-of-day session feel worth it.

Real programming, not random workouts

Structured warm-up, deliberate strength work, thoughtful finisher. The ME Method principles apply — progressive loading, movement quality, nothing left to chance.

A coach in the room

Up to 15 members per coach. Your form gets corrected, your weights get scaled, and someone notices when you are off your game. This is not a self-directed class.

Energy that pushes you

Some people do their best work in a room full of people moving hard toward the same goal. Small group gives you that energy without losing the coaching that makes it safe.

A schedule you can count on

Set weekly class times make it easy to build a routine. Show up at the same time each week and the consistency takes care of itself.

In their words

A community of people who train smart.

Small group FAQ

Still have a question? Reach out. We usually reply the same day.

How many people are in a small group training class?

Up to 15 members per session with one coach. That's big enough for real group energy and momentum, small enough that your coach knows who you are and can adjust your weights and form every session.

What makes Studio ME's small group training different from a bootcamp?

Our groups are built on the ME Method: progressive loading, movement quality, and programming with a purpose. Your coach is coaching the whole time, not just counting reps. Everyone is working at the right intensity for their body, not just going through the motions.

Is small group training right for me if I'm new to strength training?

Yes. Your coach adjusts the weight and intensity for you each session and corrects your form in real time. Small group training works because the programming is deliberate and the coaching is personal.

Do I need experience to join small group training in Minneapolis?

No. Your coach will meet you where you are and scale the movements and weights to match your level. The group energy pushes you forward, but the coaching keeps you safe and working smart.
