The Importance of QUAD Training and Group Training

Some of the best trainers here in Markham have some advice for you all looking to join a community revolving around health and fitness. 

We know that starting a fitness journey can be easy, but sticking with it is the hardest part. A lot of people join a gym or start working out, but after a few weeks of training, they lose motivation and stop going entirely until the new year, and they promise themselves that they will go more that year. 

If you’ve been searching for a gym in Markham or looking for ways to stay consistent with your fitness journey. The answer isn’t just working out harder; it’s finding the right support system for you.

At The Markham Gym, we offer Quad training, our unique small group personal training program where four people train together with one expert fitness coach. 

Quad training gives you the best of both worlds: the personalized feedback of a 1-on-1 personal trainer combined with motivating, high-energy, affordable group fitness classes. With only four members per session, your trainer actively monitors your form, adjusts exercises to your level, and prevents injuries. 

If you’re searching for a beginner-friendly gym in Markham, entering a crowded weight room can feel intimidating. Small group training provides a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can learn foundational exercises with close, step-by-step coaching.

Other benefits of group training is the friendships you make along the way. Since there are only four people in a QUAD training session, the coach can watch everyone’s form and what changes need to be made when needed. This is helpful for beginners who may not know how to do certain exercises, and it can also help prevent injuries. At the same time, seeing the same people every week makes the gym feel less scary and more welcoming. Many people stay consistent because they enjoy the people they train with, not just the workout itself. 

For example, imagine a person named Sarah. Consider Sarah, who’s tried to get fit before but always quits after a few weeks. She joins Quad training, feeling nervous about her lack of experience. Her coach teaches her the basics, and her group encourages her. A few weeks later, she wants to skip a workout because of a long day. Her group messages her to come anyway. She goes, finishes the workout, and feels proud of herself. Moments like these help her stay on track and motivated. Quad training works because it makes fitness feel less isolating. With a coach, a schedule, and a supportive group, people are more likely to show up consistently, and that’s what leads to real results.
