Take a deep breath. It's easier to train groups because you cut out a lot of chit chat.

I would set up a few mini-circuits of 3-5 exercises. There are several options from here... Have on start the first set, then when he finishes he moves on to exercise #2 and client#2 starts exercise #1, or you can just have both start at the same time on different exercises and they both just slide sequentially to the next set in the circuit.

I find that I prefer the second option unless there is a reason that I have a specific order to the exercises. Example:

A1 push-ups
A2 RDL
A3 DB Row

B1 Lunge
B2 Cable cross-chop R
B3 Cable cross-chop L
B4 Static lateral hold

C1 Turkish get-ups
C2 band-resisted back pedal towing
C3 Speed skaters

It doesn't really matter where in the circuit that they start. Have them do 2-4 circuits, maybe have them do it for time instead of for a specific number of reps (depends on what their goal is I suppose).

Don't be nervous. You'll kick ass. Go in smiling, work their butts off, keep on them for good form, don't cut them slack, and remember that you just leveraged your time and are making more on that hour than you normally do. In other words, get more of these going and you will start to make real money at this.
