Small Group Coaching

What is Small Group Coaching?

“It helps us get moving. It makes me feel strong… I’m not very good at self-motivating, so having a time that’s like, ‘We’re doing this right now, it happens every week, it’s part of the schedule,’ it’s helpful… we spent years of college trying to work out together and it never worked, just because we have interests and preferences, but you make everything so fun…and you’re able to blend what we both wanna work on in a way that doesn’t make the other person absolutely miserable…”
– Nick & Hannah

Small Group Coaching is a great way to train and connect with friends and family! These sessions are designed by one of our expert coaches and guided by your group’s goals and dynamics.

This type of coaching is for 2-4 people who know each other and have a common focus – for even more individualized attention, consider our 1:1 Coaching, and for larger groups, explore our Team Coaching options!

Why Strive & Uplift?

We take a team approach to personal training at Strive & Uplift. Each one of our coaches offers their own unique skill set, and we want to make sure you get the absolute best coaching for your needs! There are so many aspects to health and wellness, and our coaches have a huge variety of expertise in these different areas. We often ask each other’s advice, and if clients are interested in working with multiple experts, we love to collaborate in designing programming and coaching!

We know the value of human interaction, but want to make sure we’re caring for everyone’s physical and emotional safety! We offer virtual and in-person sessions both outside and in training facilities. Due to the pandemic, in-person sessions are subject to change and specific health measures in response to state and local health guidelines, as well as coach and participant comfort.

“Strive & Uplift was a health-saver for much of our family during the Covid pandemic. During a year when my two high-school teenagers should have been enjoying full seasons as a senior captain and first-year varsity player, ultimate was reduced to occasionally throwing in the park. With 2-person training sessions led by Allison and customized for ultimate players, we were not only motivated to stay active each week, but also had the flexibility to train outdoors together as a family or with one of my kids inviting a masked friend. Usually I worked out with my daughter, but some weeks my two kids would train together, and in others when only one of them was available they would include a podded friend. We really appreciated this flexibility as it gave us social and familial options to keep our mental health stronger along with our core.” -Scott V.

Flexible Pricing Structure

The ability to connect with a small group under expert guidance shouldn’t be reserved for only those who can pay top dollar!

We use a flexible pricing model to allow people to pay a range of prices according to their overall financial position. Our flexible pricing system was inspired by countless Black, Indigenous, and People of Color-led organizations working to undo systemic economic inequity. The chart below is based on the sliding scale programs of Both / & and Embracing Equity.

How it Works

People with more access to money, family wealth, and overall financial stability pay more for the same services than those who are less financially secure. That way, everyone pays closer to a similar percentage of their expendable income for our services. While the world still runs on money, this is the best way to ensure our coaches can continue providing awesome instruction and support to everyone!
As you decide whether you should pay more, less, or the same amount as our “Value of Service” rates, consider the following:
- Your household income
- Your access to family assets & wealth, or assistance you provide to your family
- Your debt to income ratio
- The relative costs of meeting your basic needs (e.g. do you need to spend more than others on healthcare?)

Rates for small group coaching vary according to how many people are in the group, and there are different options for how to pay (each person pays vs. one person pays for the group). Payment is due at or before the time of service.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes long, but that’s subject to change according to COVID guidelines for in-person sessions. The price points listed below are before sales tax is added, which is currently 10.25%. Payment is due at or before the time of service.

	2 people	3 people	4 people
Session Rate Range Per Person	$50-70 ($60 average)	$33-47 ($40 average)	$25-35 ($30 average)

Your coach may want to start with a 25-minute consultation to direct your work together and make sure you’re a good fit for each other! This has a $20 flat fee — let us know in the interest form if this cost is a barrier to your group!

Value of Small Group Coaching

Small Group Coaching sessions deliver individualized support in a fun group setting! You and your coach(es) invest in each other in a relationship built to serve your needs. Our coaches offer their expertise, collaborate as a team to solve problems, and constantly develop our practice as movement professionals. It’s an intimate and highly rewarding way to develop new skills, get support and accountability, strive for your goals as a group, and know that you’re working with an expert who’s focused on just a handful of people with a common intention!

Cancellation & No Shows

You can cancel your enrollment up to 24 hours prior to the start of the session without penalty by messaging your coach.
Please cancel your enrollment as soon as you know you cannot make it.
Any cancellations made within 24 hours of the start of the session are considered Late Cancels/No Shows.
You may be able to work with your coach to reschedule, but if your coach cannot reschedule then it will be treated as a Late Cancel/No Show if you cancel within 24 hours.
Coaches may cancel sessions due to adverse weather, activation of COVID exposure procedures, or coach illness. In the event of this kind of cancellation, clients will not be charged.
Late cancellations (made within 24 hours of a session) and no shows (do not attend an enrolled session) may incur a fee; for coaching sessions one pass will be deducted at your session rate.
Life happens! Every person is allowed 1 late cancellation per year (for no charge).

See our Enrollment & Cancellation Policy for more details.
