Group Training vs. Personal Training — What’s Best for You?
🥊 Group Training vs. Personal Training — What’s Best for You?
When you're ready to get fit, feel stronger, or simply de-stress, boxing is one of the most effective workouts out there. But one big question comes up for many people when starting out: Should I join group boxing classes or invest in personal training?
The answer depends on your goals, personality, and where you're starting from. Let’s break down the pros and cons of both — and help you choose the right fit for your body, mindset, and lifestyle.
💥 GROUP BOXING CLASSES: Energy, Motivation & Community
Group classes are the heartbeat of many fitness studios — and for good reason. They offer a sense of momentum, community, and fun that’s hard to beat.
✅ Key Benefits:
High energy & group motivation
Structured workouts with variety — boxing, strength, circuits
Affordability — great value for multiple weekly sessions
Connection & community — meet others on a similar journey
Accountability — you’re more likely to show up when others do too
At Fitness Ring, our group boxing classes are led by experienced coaches and run in a safe, supervised, and welcoming environment. No egos, no pressure — just great vibes and real results.
Ideal for you if:
You enjoy training alongside others
You’re looking to improve general fitness, reduce stress, or stay consistent
You want variety in your workouts
What people search for: “boxing classes near me” — and that’s exactly where we shine.
🥇 PERSONAL TRAINING: Customised Coaching for Real Results
Personal training gives you a fully tailored experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner, returning after injury, or training for a specific goal, your program is built around you — and only you.
✅ Key Benefits:
Custom program — boxing, strength, rehab, technique, conditioning
One-on-one support & feedback
Faster progress with focused attention
Work around injuries or limitations
Flexible scheduling to suit your week
We offer Melbourne boxing PT sessions for all levels. These are especially powerful for midlife clients who want to regain energy, lose weight, or find structure in their training.
Ideal for you if:
You’re new to boxing and want to build a solid foundation
You’ve got a specific goal (fat loss, strength, confidence, stress relief)
You want privacy, accountability, or more in-depth coaching
Many of our members combine group classes with occasional PT for the best results — especially during our 6-week or 12-week transformation programs.
