PREMIER SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING IN BEDFORD, NH

PERSONAL COACHING. SMALL GROUP ENERGY.

Follow a training program created specifically for you while gaining expert coaching, flexible scheduling, and accountability from a supportive community.

YOUR PROGRAM. YOUR PROGRESS.

WHAT IS SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING?

Premier Small Group Personal Training combines individualized programming with the encouragement of training alongside others. Sessions include no more than six members, but everyone follows a program created for their own goals, abilities, experience, and movement history.

This is not a general fitness class where everyone completes the same workout. Our coaches guide each member through their personal program, provide feedback, and make adjustments throughout the session.

PERSONALIZED SUPPORT IN EVERY SESSION

MORE THAN A GROUP WORKOUT

100% PERSONAL PROGRAMMING

Your exercises, training level, and progression are selected according to your goals, abilities, experience, and individual needs.

SMALL GROUPS OF SIX

Sessions are limited to six members so our coaches can provide meaningful instruction, feedback, encouragement, and personal attention.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING

Choose available training times that work with your schedule instead of being restricted to one traditional class time.

COMMUNITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Train alongside supportive members who encourage consistency while everyone continues working toward their own personal goals.

TAW offers a great opportunity for athletes of all ages. Coming here will help you build muscle and motivation without feeling overwhelmed or overworked. All the staff here are incredibly kind and are always ensuring that everyone has proper form and a clear mind!

Aaron Spiritos

Kyle and his team do an amazing job. Before joining, I had been stuck at the same weight for 15+ years. After 2 months, I gained 10 lbs and felt stronger than ever. His program is dynamic, his team is extremely helpful, and they will no doubt help you achieve your fitness goals, no matter that they are.

Linda Mitchell

The Athletic Way is an amazing group of athletic trainers who care about your journey and meet you where you are. They recognize sometimes you have to go back to move forward and they are there to support you every step of the way.

christine Anderson

The team at The Athletic Way is top notch! Extremely professional, with individualized plans for each client. They go out of their way to be helpful and supportive. I enthusiastically recommend TAW to anyone who is considering a strength training program.

Mallory Phaneuf

I was recommend to try TAW by my physical therapist after acl surgery and subsequent second kid- I couldn't get back to my former self. As a former college athlete and a mom of two, I was hesitant about the time commitment, but I am so happy I tried it. Less than a year from having my second, and 2 years from my acl surgery- I'm training for a marathon again. I feel as strong as I did in college, and have made some great friends. The trainers at TAW are supportive, yet push you to go harder-- which is what I need. Can't recommend enough!

Maria Lussier

I first want to say that The Athletic Way’s atmosphere fits my workout style perfectly. It took a lot of trial and error over the past year to finally find a gym that truly worked for me. I tried so many different types of exercise: Orange Theory, Pilates, and various outdoor activities, but nothing really stuck. After asking some athletic friends for recommendations, TAW came up repeatedly. I made a phone call and was immediately connected with Kyle. From the start, Kyle was incredible! He never once pushed me to join. Instead, he asked thoughtful questions to understand my needs and goals. That was when I knew this style of gym, one built around personal coaching, was exactly what I was looking for. The team created a personalized plan based on my concerns. I had been struggling with back and hip issues, and after a year of consistent coaching and encouragement, I feel so much better. They teach proper technique so you can get the most out of every workout, and the coaches are genuinely impressive, knowledgeable, supportive, and invested in your success. The physical changes are noticeable, too. I’m stronger, more agile, and far more confident in my health journey.

Jeff Lessard

Kyle and his team are great at what they do. As an ex-college athlete and avid weight lifter, I was riddled with several injuries from college sports and lifting. Kyle has elevated my workouts significantly. The phrase "you're only as strong as your weakest link" is so true when you've torn your ACL, lower back .. and Kyle and his team has allowed me to work past it, strengthen my core and supporting muscle groups. I'm lifting with healthy intensity again, skiing again, it's refreshing to lift with this type of perspective with longevity and function at its core.

Marianne Bleszinski

Thanks to The Athletic Way (TAW), my most unexpected highlight of 2025 was discovering the joy of strength training. As a 60 yr. old woman, I knew the importance of strength training but I was very hesitant and fearful of working out at a gym.However, at TAW, with customized workout plans and very competent and compassionate coaching, I experienced a transformation. I feel more confident, stronger, and my overall fitness has notably improved. I highly recommend TAW for anyone who truly wants to work hard and get stronger!

Mari-Briege Dunn

As a mom of three young children, I never imagined I would be as strong and as fit as I am but with help from Kyle, I have reached goals I never thought possible. The environment and community of the gym is truly the best. Kyle and the trainers at The Athletic Way are better than you can imagine. I am incredibly grateful for TAW!
