Why Small Group Training Works Better Than Going Solo
Expert Coaching at Fraction of the Cost
One-on-one personal training in Vancouver can cost $100+ per session. Small group training gives you the same level of expert coaching, form corrections, and customized modifications for 60-70% less. You get professional guidance without breaking the bank, making it sustainable to train 2-3 times per week instead of stretching your budget thin with monthly solo sessions.
Built-In Accountability and Motivation
Vancouver can be a lonely city. When you train in a small group, you're not just another face in a crowded gym class. Your coach knows your name, your goals, and whether you skipped last Thursday. The other members become your fitness community, creating natural accountability that keeps you showing up and pushing harder than you would alone.
Personalized Within the Group
With only 5 people maximum per session, you get individualized attention that larger fitness classes can't provide. Troy adjusts intensity, modifies exercises for your injuries or limitations, and coaches your form throughout the workout. You're never left behind or pushed beyond what's safe for your body.
How TSquared's Small Group Training Is Different
Most group fitness classes aren’t built for people over 40. They’re loud, fast, crowded, and often leave you more sore than successful.
At TSquared, we offer an entirely different kind of group training experience.
Our sessions are limited to just 5 participants, giving you the attention and coaching you need while still enjoying the energy and motivation of training with others. Each workout is guided by Troy, your dedicated personal trainer, and adapted to your specific needs.
Whether you’re managing joint stiffness, recovering from an injury, or simply want to move better and feel stronger, our classes are tailored to meet you where you're at, and help you move forward, safely.
What You Get in Every Small Group Session
Full-Body Strength Training
Using the Gravity Training System, you'll work every major muscle group through functional movement patterns. The adjustable resistance means you can scale intensity up or down instantly, so beginners and advanced exercisers can train side-by-side effectively.
Personalized Form Coaching
With only 5 people per session, Troy watches every rep and corrects your form in real-time. This minimizes injury risk and maximizes results. You'll learn proper movement patterns that carry over into daily life, not just the gym.
Customized Modifications
Dealing with a bad shoulder? Recovering from a knee injury? Troy adjusts exercises on the fly to work around your limitations while still challenging you. You get a workout designed for your body, not a cookie-cutter routine.
Progressive Programming
Sessions aren't random. We follow a structured program that progressively builds your strength, mobility, and endurance over time. You'll see measurable improvements in what you can do, how you feel, and how you move.
Community Support
The small group format creates genuine connections. You'll work out with the same people regularly, building relationships with others who share similar fitness goals. It's the antidote to the Vancouver Freeze and the isolation of training alone.
Perfect for Downtown Vancouver Professionals
Located inside the Sandman Hotel at 180 W Georgia Street, TSquared sits in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Whether you work in the financial district near Burrard Station, live in Yaletown or Coal Harbour, or commute from Gastown or the West End, you're minutes away from expert small group training.
Downtown Vancouver workers face unique fitness challenges. Long hours at the office lead to tight hips, forward shoulders, and lower back pain. The high cost of living makes expensive personal training unsustainable. And the Vancouver Freeze makes it hard to find fitness communities where you actually feel welcomed.
TSquared's small group training solves all three problems. Sessions are affordable enough to attend 2-3 times per week. The low-impact Gravity Training System addresses the postural issues and movement restrictions that come from desk work. And the intimate 4-person format naturally builds the kind of supportive fitness community that's rare in Vancouver.
Many of our clients work in the surrounding downtown core, grabbing sessions before work, during lunch, or after leaving the office. The private studio environment means you never have to fight for equipment or wait for machines. You walk in, your equipment is set up, and you're training within minutes.
Who Small Group Training Is For
You're New to Fitness or Returning After a Break
If you've never worked with a trainer before or haven't exercised regularly in years, small group training is perfect. You'll learn proper form from day one, progress at your own pace, and have the support of others who are on similar journeys. No judgment, no intimidation, just expert guidance and encouragement.
You're Over 40 and Want to Train Smarter
You know that the high-intensity workouts designed for 20-year-olds aren't sustainable for your joints. You want to build strength and mobility without the soreness, inflammation, or injury risk. TSquared's Gravity Training approach and specialized programming for adults 40+ gives you real results without beating up your body.
Why Gravity Training Works for Adults 40+
Traditional weight training can be hard on aging joints. Heavy barbells, jarring plyometrics, and high-impact exercises often lead to inflammation, soreness, and injury, especially for adults dealing with previous injuries or chronic pain.
Gravity Training uses your own bodyweight on an adjustable incline bench. You control the resistance by changing the angle, making it infinitely scalable to your current fitness level. The movements are smooth and controlled, eliminating the joint stress that comes from heavy weights or explosive exercises.
This makes it ideal for adults over 40 who want to build legitimate strength without the recovery time and injury risk of traditional gym workouts. You'll strengthen muscles, improve core stability, enhance balance, and increase mobility all in one efficient session. Most clients report feeling stronger and moving better within 3-4 weeks, without the chronic soreness that usually comes with starting a new program.
The system is especially effective for anyone recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions like arthritis, previous surgeries, or lower back pain. Because the resistance is bodyweight-based and infinitely adjustable, Troy can modify intensity instantly to keep you challenged while respecting your body's limitations.

Today marks the day of my 1 year anniversary with T-Squared Personal Training. Troy is a fantastic and caring trainer. He put together a kick-ass program that works around my scoliosis.
The results of training twice a week for the past year is that I've lost approx. 8 pounds and 7% of my body fat. My muscles are also more toned and my posture has improved tremendously.I would highly recommend Troy and T-Squared Personal Training if you wish to become stronger and more fit!
I admire Troy's expertise and experience as a personal trainer in Vancouver. I have been attending T Squared for 5 months and Troy is dedicated through the whole time. Definitely he provides the best fitness class in vancouver.
I recommend Troy as a fitness trainer for a full body workout. I’m getting much stronger in general and also appreciate working on balance exercises that help me stay active outdoors and help prevent falls. Troy has me work hard and I’m now doing exercises I didn’t think I’d be able to. Thanks Troy.
