Hey, LEX — Molly here. 👋 I’ve been a Peloton addict for over a year now, but one thing I’ve been missing is the community feel that comes with working out in person. Now that we’re in the season of summer dresses + shoulders showing, I was thrilled to have my first personal training experience at LiveWELL Training Club.
What we tried (with pricing):
Co-owner and trainer Keaton Jones led my semi-private training session. I had a customized workout made especially for me based on my goals + current fitness level. The specialized plan can be scheduled at your leisure, with plans ranging from one training session per week at $160 per month to four training sessions per week (that’s 16 per month) for $420.
Bonus: There are no sign-up, freeze, or cancellation fees + no minimum commitment.

I’m a yogi, so lifting weights is not exactly my strong suit. And honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous about pumping some iron with some strangers. But I was in great hands and company — I couldn’t have felt more welcome and supported at LiveWELL.
We warmed up as a group, and then everyone got to work on their own individualized plan.
My workout was broken into sections with two exercises focusing on a specific area of the body. Keaton thoroughly explained + demonstrated the movements before observing and giving cues. The “get-up sit-ups” were probably the most humbling experience of my life.
Pro tip: Don’t be afraid to communicate that you need to scale down or modify — two-way feedback is highly encouraged.

What not to miss:
The new friendships you’ll form + that next day, hurt-so-good soreness — both will make you feel strong and motivated for more.
How you can experience this:
The Start Well session. At this free introductory meeting, you’ll discuss any history of injuries with your trainer and get a baseline for your fitness levels + your areas of focus (strength, cardio, mobility, etc.).

What we’re still talking about:
I loved the small-group setting. Keaton gave the right amount of attention + direction to all participants. Everyone was there to cheer each other on, offer motivation, and help you smile through the struggle of feeling your biceps about to burst.
