What Makes PPS Small-Group Training Different?

Small-group strength training is exactly what it sounds like. A coach, a group of people, and a structured strength program that everyone works through together.

The part that matters is the ratio. At PPS it is eight people to one coach, and everything about how we run the session is built around that number.

If you have only ever seen group fitness classes or one-on-one personal training, small-group strength sits somewhere in between, and it is not a compromise between the two. For a lot of people it produces better results than either.

How To Train for Strength and Muscle for Men and Women aged 35+

If you're 35+, based in Perth, and trying to get stronger and build muscle without living at the gym, you've probably run into two extremes:

  1. The bro-split — bench Monday, back Tuesday, legs "eventually" — built around training 5-6 days a week, often for hours at a time.

  2. The "just train harder" crowd, who treat more gym sessions as the default fix for slow progress.

Both miss the point for busy Perth professionals with a job, a family, and a body that doesn't recover the way it did at 22.

Here's the good news: effective strength training in Perth doesn't require six days a week. You need the right frequency, the right structure, and consistency — not more hours under the bar.
