Unpopular take: group classes are worse for your progress than solo lifting

Ngl, I've trained 60+ clients over the last 5 years and the ones who only do bootcamp style classes plateau way faster than those who hit the gym alone. The energy in a class masks your actual effort, so you think you're pushing hard but your form degrades and you skip the last 2 reps. Has anyone else seen this split in their own fitness journey?

My 47 bootcamp regulars all stalled at the same weight for months, solo lifters kept adding plates every week.
