Personal training in El Dorado Hills
Personal training in El Dorado Hills, built around you
One coach, one plan, one focus: you. Whether you're starting over, training around an old injury, or chasing a specific goal, one-on-one coaching at EDHFIT moves faster than anything you'll do alone.
When one-on-one is the right call
Group classes are the heart of what we do, and most members thrive in them. But some people want, or need, a coach's full attention. Personal training exists for them. If any of these describe you, it's worth a conversation:
- You're working around an injury or a nagging issue. An old knee, a cranky shoulder, a back that flares from desk work. A coach watching every rep can build a plan that strengthens around it instead of aggravating it. (We coach, we don't diagnose, if you're in active rehab, we'll work alongside what your physical therapist tells you.)
- You have one specific goal. A first pull-up, a heavier deadlift, getting ready for ski season or a sport, dropping weight before an event. One-on-one work points every session at that target.
- You're returning after time off. Months or years away, a recent surgery cleared by your doctor, a pregnancy behind you. Starting privately, at your pace, takes the intimidation out of day one.
- You want privacy or a schedule that bends to you. No group to keep up with, no fixed class clock, just you and your coach at a time that works.
If you're not sure whether one-on-one or a class is the better fit, that's exactly what the free first class is for. We'll ask about your goals and your history and tell you straight, even if the honest answer is that coached group fitness gets you there for less.
What's included
Every session is yours, end to end
Personal training here isn't a trainer counting your reps while they check their phone. It's coaching with a plan behind it.
Personalized programming
Your coach designs your training around your goal, your experience, and whatever you're working around, then adjusts it as you get stronger. No copy-paste plan off the internet.
True one-on-one coaching
Eyes on every rep. Real-time cues on technique, breathing, and positioning, so you learn to move well and safely instead of just grinding through a workout.
Accountability that's hard to skip
A standing appointment with a coach who knows your name is the most reliable way to keep showing up. Someone is expecting you, that changes everything.
Progress you can see
Your coach tracks your training and revisits your goals over time, so the plan keeps moving forward and you can see exactly what's changed.
Want results to round out your training? Many one-on-one clients pair their sessions with nutrition coaching, because how you eat decides how much of your effort in the gym actually shows up.
How it works
There's no mystery to getting started, and no commitment to make before you've met a coach. Here's the path from "I'm thinking about it" to training:
- Book your first class free. No cost, no pressure. Book into a class that fits your schedule, tell us where you want to go, and a coach gives you extra attention through your first session.
- Assessment. Your coach gets a read on how you move and what you're working around, so the plan starts from reality, not a guess.
- Your plan. We map a training plan to your goal and recommend a frequency and format, one-on-one, classes, or a mix, plus the pricing that fits it.
- Sessions. You train one-on-one with your coach, progress gets tracked, and the plan adjusts as you do.
Prefer a group format once you've found your feet? Plenty of members start one-on-one and graduate into coached CrossFit classes once the movements feel like second nature. The door swings both ways.
What it costs
We quote personal training at your free first class, because the right plan genuinely depends on your goals and how often you want to train, one focused session a week is a different number than three, and a personal-training-plus-classes mix is different again. We'll lay out the options and the transparent ranges on our pricing page, match you to the one that fits, and let you decide. No contracts you can't get out of, no hard sell.
Meet the coaches you'd be working with on our coaches page, see what members have accomplished on our results page, or just book your free first class and we'll take it from there.

Questions about one-on-one coaching
How is personal training different from group classes?
In a class, one coach scales a shared workout across the whole room. In personal training, the entire session is yours, the programming, the pacing, the cues, the warm-up, the corrections. Your coach builds the plan around your goal and your body, watches every rep, and adjusts on the spot. It's the fastest way to learn movement well and the best fit if you want privacy, a flexible time, or focused work on one specific thing.
Can I combine personal training with group classes?
Yes, and a lot of members do exactly that. A common setup is one or two personal-training sessions a week to drill technique and chase a specific goal, plus group classes for the community, conditioning, and consistency. We'll map out the mix that fits your week and budget at your free first class.
Do I need any experience to start personal training?
None at all. Personal training is often the best starting point precisely because you have zero experience, your coach teaches the movements from the ground up, at your pace, with no group to keep up with. Complete beginners, people returning after years off, and athletes refining advanced lifts all train one-on-one here.
How often should I train one-on-one?
It depends on your goal, your schedule, and your budget. Some members train one-on-one twice a week for the structure; others use a single weekly session to dial in technique and supplement it with classes or their own training. Your coach will recommend a frequency at the free first class and adjust it as you progress.
