History has shown us that by working as a team we gain far greater results than when we work out on our own. TRIBE Team Training® is all about building our tribe, our team, and ourselves. At TRIBE Team Training® our aim is to be the best, work hard and exceed expectations. No one in our TRIBE gets left behind. We unite together, we work together and as a result, we grow together.

President / Co-Owner
Jeffrey started his fitness journey shortly after having his son Elijah, back in 2010. He was fat, out of shape, two pack a day Black and Mild smoker who wanted to be healthier for his new role as a dad. He started out taking classes in the Inlet Group Fitness room with little success. Slowly gaining confidence, building strength, and dropping weight, he was asked to become a Group Fitness Instructor. Jeffrey began teaching Spin and was known for his EDM/Hip Hop remixes. He quickly gained a loyal following due to his unique ride style, sick beats, and GLOW SPIN. The owners asked Jeffrey to begin instructing a new format called HIIT in the fitness studio. With his first-class comprising of one person, Jeff built his Friday HIIT class into a packed house. With infectious music, ever-changing format, and supreme motivation, Jeff rose within the ranks of instructors at Inlet Fitness. He then began teaching Cross Training, Bulgarian Bag, TRX, and Kettlebell classes. After years of laying a foundation, Jeffrey was asked to become a TribeCOACH with Tribe Team Training®. Finding great success with the TRIBE Program, Jeffrey was named North America Coach of the Year for 2019. Jeffrey now runs the largest TRIBE in the entire Tribe Team Training® Program with Four Full TRIBES. Alongside being a certified TribeCOACH, Jeffery is certified in ACE, ASFA, Suples Bulgarian Bag Level 2, and Primal Swoledier Kettlebell Level 2.
Team training fills the gap between high-cost personal training and group exercises classes (that are free with membership). In our post COVID world, it is the safest and most cost effective way for team members to join the same small team (6-10max) who train together at the same time (two or three times a week) for eight week seasons. They are led by their team coach (who remains the same coach throughout the season), and who gets to know and understand each team member’s goal and motivation behind exercise. Team members will experience fun, belonging, support, reassurance and genuine results all in a dynamic motivating environment.
From a member’s perspective
Group exercise classes are a great exercise option for those who enjoy large groups (often 50- 100) and doing exercise routines that follow the music. There’s a set routine to each song. When the song is replayed, the routine is repeated. You’re exercising in a group, at random times, and you’re anonymous.
TRIBE Team Training® organizes members into small teams (6-10) in a program of choice. The team members are exercising safely under the guidance of their coach and always progressing by learning new exercises. Each session is different in order to maximize the training effect. Although there’s background music to match the program’s energy, members are not moving to the music. Each team member works at their own pace and is guided and coached towards their goal.
From a coach’s perspective
With group exercise you’re leading by demonstrating. You’re doing the class. The main emphasis is on leading the group. It’s challenging to provide individual attention in a large group.
With TRIBE Team Training®, you’ll coach new exercises (including progressions and regressions) at the start of each session and then you’re coaching the team and the individuals to fulfil their exercise goals. It’s a combination of sports team coaching and personal training. There is the team focus and environment along with one-on-one coaching. TRIBE empowers the coach to do what they do best – deliver! The TRIBE system does the marketing, helps them recruit teams and removes the headache of having to come up with new lesson plans.
From an operator’s perspective
The decision whether or not to offer group exercise is fundamental to the business plan and market positioning for each fitness business. The business of group exercise works well for a high volume club where class numbers are at least 50. Most centers license their group-ex programming to ensure quality, variety and consistency for members.
Every club has a group of members who, if exposed to TRIBE Team Training® would be willing to pay for it (a fraction of PT costs) and become long-term team members in their respective programs. Many TRIBE operating clubs have a minimum retention rate of 70%. TRIBE can also boost much-needed secondary revenue. It’s possible for TRIBE to earn the club as much (and more) than they earn from personal training.
