01 — THE FOUNDATION

NOT AN ADD-ON.
THE WHOLE
THING.

At Alex Reader Fitness (ARF), Small Group Personal Training isn’t something we offer alongside everything else — it’s the entire foundation of what we do. Every session, at both our Exeter and Budleigh Salterton studios, is delivered as small group personal training. Capped numbers. Programmed coaching. Real attention. Real results.

We’ve built ARF on the belief that the best training environment isn’t a packed gym floor or a generic class — it’s a small, focused group with a coach who actually knows you, your goals, and your body.

02 — DEFINITION

WHAT IS SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING?

Small Group Personal Training (SGPT) is exactly what it sounds like: personal training delivered in a small group. It bridges the gap between expensive 1:1 coaching and impersonal group fitness classes.

A coach guiding every session — not a class instructor counting reps
A programme built around progressive, not random workouts
Form coaching, technique cues and individual scaling
A small, capped group of people training alongside you
An environment where you’re known by name, not by membership number

03 — WHY IT WORKS

THE BEST OF BOTH
WORLDS. WITHOUT THE
TRADE-OFFS.

REAL COACHING

Every session is led by a qualified coach who watches your form, scales the work to you, and knows your progress.

REAL PROGRAMMING

Sessions follow a structured plan built to drive strength, conditioning and body composition results — not random workouts.

REAL COMMUNITY

You train with the same faces week in, week out. People who know your name, your goals and your lifts.

REAL VALUE

1:1 personal training in Exeter typically costs £30–£60 per session. SGPT delivers that same coaching quality for a fraction of the cost.

04 — THE STUDIOS

TWO PRIVATE STUDIOS. ONE STANDARD.

Our private studios in Topsham, Exeter and Budleigh Salterton are built for serious training — without the intimidating gym feel.

No queues for equipment. No mirrors-as-a-measure vibe. Just a focused space where members of every level train hard, get coached well and leave better than they arrived.

05 — WHO IT’S FOR

BUILT FOR ADULTS WHO WANT TO TRAIN PROPERLY.

01

Want to lose body fat and build strength

02

Are returning to training after a long break

03

Have tried gyms, classes or PTs and want something more sustainable

04

Want accountability, structure and a coach who notices when they’re not there

05

Most of our members are professionals, parents and busy adults aged 30–60 who simply want to look, move and feel better — and want a coach to take the thinking out of it.

06 — HOW IT RUNS
