Does anyone do partner/couple introductory sessions?

I have more demand lately from couples, especially retired couples, who want to train together. I do train a couple of couples, but I’m wondering how other trainers are structuring the introductory session with two new people. Would love to hear your insights and perspective!

I train multiple people as partners. People actually like the break in between sets. I tell them it is harder solo. I think it’s good to do what makes them feel most comfortable. I trained a couple Friday as an intro and they left so jazzed, feeling like they both received a great workout and they didn’t have to do it alone. I like pairs when the couple is focused and each is encouraging the other. I don’t like training couples when there is too much talking. It truly has never reduced conversion doing partner intros or single intros.💪🏼

Are there any plans to make women specific machines? As much as I love Medx, I find them to be large for women and the handle circumference large for women’s hands.

This is great! A client just asked me yesterday , can I still build muscle at 75? I told him absolutely. I always tell people, there’s only one way out of here, might as well get strong! 😂💪🏼🙌🏼

@Justin Frost Hi Justin, I usually do some variation of a squat, pull and push which includes 6-8 exercises. Usually, this includes, a leg press, shoulder press, pull-down, chest press or dip, seated row, (I like to add in BW exercises, or non machines, whether this is push ups, bar holds, pull-ps, deadlift, BW abs( and usually finish the workout off with calves, ab rotation and or spine lumbar. Total time under tension is about 15-20 minutes. I find the more muscular, more conditioned one is, the less exercises one needs to get a good result. I prefer training just 1x weekly and find most clients can do it well and get a good result. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@Lawrence Neal it’s usually about 60 sessions, 8 pf those being partners which takes about an hour. And then 3 group classes that are 45 mins. I choose to train Tuesday-Friday and ends up being about 40 hours. 💪🏼
