(30min) Private Home Studio 1:1 Personal Training

Details

Thirty minutes, one job

A short session isn’t a compressed hour and we won’t sell it as one. Thirty minutes buys one focus done properly: the lift you’re trying to own, the sprint mechanics you keep almost fixing, the rehab work you never do at home. One thing, coached start to finish, with nobody waiting on the rack and nobody working in behind you.

The constraint is the point. An hour lets a session sprawl. Half an hour forces a decision about what actually matters this week, and most people train better for having made it.

Open to adults and to teen athletes, with the session built around whoever is in front of us.

Who the short session suits

Adults who already train and want a coach’s eyes on the part they can’t see from the inside. Anyone starting again after a long break, where thirty honest minutes is plenty of load and the habit matters more than the volume. Anyone training around something that hurts, where the limit is tolerance rather than clock. And anyone whose week has a half-hour in it and not an hour, which is most people.

For a teen athlete it does a specific job. In season, when practice and games have already filled the week, more volume is rarely the answer and half an hour of technical work is. Out of season, it’s where a young athlete learns to lift properly before joining a group, or spends four weeks on one thing that’s actually holding them back, a slow first step, a landing that collapses, an overhead position that won’t cooperate. It sits alongside team practice and our teen groups rather than replacing either.

Parents: you’re always welcome to stay for the session, and we’d rather you did for the first one. More on where we train below, and you’ll want to read it.

If you want strength, conditioning and accessory work in the same visit, book the hour instead. We’d rather tell you that now than have you leave a short session feeling it was cut off.

What a session looks like

A warm-up built for the one thing you’re about to do rather than five minutes on a bike. Then the work, coached rep by rep, with the weight and the tempo decided in the room, not on a spreadsheet written a month ago. We finish with what to do between now and next time, which matters more on a short session, because the work you do on your own is carrying more of the load.

Every session is still programmed for the individual: goals, training history, injuries, schedule, and for an athlete, the sport and where you are in its season. It gets adjusted as you go, because the plan that was right in week one usually isn’t the one that’s right in week six.

Where you’ll train

Our studio is a private training space in North Austin: a strength room with racks, bars and dumbbells, plus a climate-controlled room for conditioning, mobility and assessment work. It’s deliberately small, never more than three people in it, by appointment only.

We’ll say plainly what it is, because we’d rather you know before you book than be surprised at the door: this is a converted garage and a converted office at our home, not a commercial gym. If what you want is a big floor, a locker room and a membership card, we’re honestly not it. If what you want is a coach, good equipment, and half an hour where nothing competes for attention, it’s better than any gym floor we’ve ever worked on, and we ran one for eight years.

For anyone under 18, that matters more, so we’ll be direct about it. A parent or guardian is welcome at every session and we encourage it, particularly the first. You’ll get the exact address and arrival instructions once the first session is booked, and parking is on the street directly outside.

Pay what you can

This product carries a regular rate and a minimum. You choose any amount at or above the minimum when you buy, and nobody is ever asked to explain the number they picked.

We’ve run our group training this way for years and we’ve extended it to the studio. The reason is simple: we’d rather coach you at a rate that works than have you priced out of coaching altogether. Pay the regular rate if you can, it’s what the work is worth and it’s what keeps us doing this. Pay the minimum if that’s what this stretch allows. Pay above it if you want to make room for someone who can’t.

Nothing about the session changes based on what you pay. Same coach, same programming, same half hour, same attention. We don’t know what you chose while we’re coaching you, and we wouldn’t train you differently if we did.

Nutrition comes with it

Personal training clients get nutrition guidance and accountability included, on the short session exactly as on the hour, for as long as you have sessions on your account. It isn’t an upsell and it isn’t a handout you never open. Training is the easy half; what happens the other twenty-three and a half hours is where results are actually won or lost, and that’s truer here, not less true, because the session is short.

We start with what you’re already eating, not a template. From there: practical targets, food you’ll really buy, and adjustments as your training changes. One structured check-in each week and a longer review once a month, through a single channel so nothing gets lost, with a reply inside one business day. For athletes under 18, a parent or guardian is on that channel and sees everything we send.

We provide general nutrition guidance for healthy people. We’re not dietitians and we don’t provide medical nutrition therapy, diagnose anything, or advise around medication or a diagnosed condition. If your situation calls for that, we’ll say so and refer you to a registered dietitian we trust rather than guess.

How it works

Buy your sessions and name your price at checkout. You’re taken straight to the scheduler to pick your times, and your sessions sit on your account until you use them, you can see what’s left and what’s coming up any time from your account.

Booking for a son or daughter? Add them as a family member on your account first, and their name becomes selectable when you book, so the sessions, the waiver and the schedule all stay under you.

Sessions are booked around your availability rather than published in advance, so if you don’t see a time that works, tell us when you can train and we’ll find one.

Practical

• Thirty-minute sessions book thirty-minute slots. Two of them can’t be joined into an hour, so if the hour is what you want, buy the hour.
• Everyone who trains signs a waiver once, online, before the first session. The link comes with your confirmation email and takes a minute on a phone.
• Athletes under 18 are welcome. A parent or guardian is welcome at every session, and under-18 waivers need a parent or guardian’s signature.
• Bring normal training kit and indoor shoes. Everything else is here.
• Sessions run to thirty minutes. Arriving five minutes late costs you a sixth of the session rather than the one after it, there’s usually someone booked behind you.
• Sessions expire 60 days after purchase, so buy the pack you’ll realistically use.

Want longer, or training with someone else?

The same room and the same coaching for a full hour is (1hr) Private Home Studio 1:1 Personal Training. Bringing a spouse, a friend or a training partner costs less per person: adults see Semi-Private Studio Personal Training and teens see Teen Semi-Private Personal Training, both capped at three with everyone still on their own program. If getting to us is the problem, see Come to You Personal Training instead and we’ll bring the session to your home, garage or yard.
