What is Tar Heel Group Training?
Tar Heel Group Training is a coach-led small group fitness program designed to help you build strength, confidence, and healthy habits in a supportive community environment. With personalized coaching and a small group setting, you’ll receive individual attention while working alongside fellow Tar Heels who share similar fitness goals.
Whether you’re new to exercise or looking to take your training to the next level, our program is designed for all fitness levels. Each 6-week training cycle follows a progressive plan that gradually increases in challenge, helping you develop strength, endurance, power, mobility, and balance while building confidence in the fitness center.
