More and more personal trainers we know were doing longer and longer hours and they were left drained by it all by the end of the day. Increasing numbers of them were also being asked for more and more money just to be able to work in the premises.

Now though more of them are running Group Octathalon training sessions and at the end of the day they are running through an Octathalon course themselves just for the fun of it. In addition to that they are all earning far more than they used to.

Why & How …you may well ask.

Having 12 or more people in a group, where people work in pairs and the trainer walks around as a facilitator, is actually much easier than 1:1 personal training. It gives you a higher hourly rate and it taps into a bigger market as more people can afford your services. People really like working together and they like encouraging each other especially if it is towards a common, and easily measurable, goal like an Octathalon event. The fun atmosphere is enjoyed by the Octathalon trainers and that goes on to invigorate them in their work. We really do find our trainers going on to do their training at the end of a long day.

In addition to that, our Octathalon trainers have found that some people who are doing these sessions go on to ask them to do some 1:1 work with them as well.

Why not have a look at the trainer section on this website. Joining is easy and is a one off cost of £25 for which you get a full license and a guidebook to help you start. Go on to form your own online group and you can earn even more. We have lots of free marketing support on this site to help you get started.

Research is showing that short, intense workouts, typically like interval training and high repetition weight training, gets you better results than longer non stop endurance workouts. A person burns calories for up to 2 hours after a short sharp interval workout as opposed to an endurance session where calories stop being burnt up when the session stops.

Fat is your body’s preferred source of fuel for long, low intensity endurance type workouts, whereas glycogen is the preferred source of fuel for short sharp interval sessions.

With short sharp intense workouts your body gets efficient at converting carbohydrates into  glucose and glycogen which in turn prepares it for future short intense sessions like lifting weights or sprinting. In addition to that your heart and lungs get bigger and stronger after short intense workouts.

With low intensity endurance workouts your body becomes efficient at converting carbohydrates to body fat which in turn prepares it for future long distance sessions. In summary, research now says that if you do short, sharp cardiovascular interval work with high repetition weights sessions, you will burn more calories, reduce fat storage and get bigger and stronger lungs. Continue to do this and you will get fitter  faster . 

The Octathalon group training sessions have been designed to take advantage of all these things and to get you quicker and better results which will give you more time for living. Have a look at the other benefits of being a member
