What semi-private at 5EW actually is.

FAQ

Three questions the consult usually covers anyway. Here first, in case they’re the blocker.

How long is each session?

Forty five minutes on the floor, in a small group of 3–6. Long enough to warm up, do the programme, and finish ready for the rest of your day.

What if I’m new to gyms, or returning after years off?

Most of our semi-private members started there. The four-week programme cycle means we start where you are: movement and composition first, load second. The small-group format means you get coaching attention, not a class to keep up with.

How does pricing compare to 1:1?

Semi-private is cheaper per session than 1:1, with most of the same coaching attention. Pricing is membership-based and shaped around how often you train. We walk you through it on the free consult. No online packages to buy before you’ve met a coach.
