Online personal training has grown to a new level in the past couple of years. So many people are realizing the great benefits of having their very own personal fitness trainer at their fingertips. With this amazing new technology anyone can get a personalized exercise and nutrition program, and available support any time you need it all at a fraction of the cost for in-person training.
Now, I know there are a lot of websites and articles out there on the wonderful world wide web (say that 10 times, fast), but its the same stuff you can get from any magazine or book out there. Online personal training is just what it sounds like: PERSONAL. When you pick up the latest weight-loss book or fitness magazine from the store and check out the magical write-ups that read “Flat Abs in 2 Weeks!” or “Build Your Beach Body FAST!”, do you think that program was written up exclusively for you and your body? Guess again. If those articles were all true for everyone out there don’t you think everyone would look like Angelina and Brad? Everyone’s body, health status, schedule, and resources are different and demand a program that is designed just for them.
According to a Brown University study, “Dieters who received weekly advice from behavioral therapists on the Internet lost three times as much weight in six months as those who just had access to information about diet and exercise on the Internet — 9 pounds compared to 3 pounds.”
With online personal training you still take full advantage of the knowledge and experience of your very own certified fitness trainer without paying $50 – $100+ per session. Instead, you will pay roughly that same amount for an entire MONTH of online training. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Since it’s so cheap you probably get what you pay for. Well, yeah you do. Think about it. When you pay $60 for a session with a personal trainer you’re paying for that trainer’s time to drive to and from the gym, initially consult with you, put together a program for you, and train you. With online training you get the same benefits of in-person training, but you’re not taking up the same amount of time from the trainer’s schedule to drive everywhere and show up in-person which lets him/her train and consult more people in a given day. The prices, unlimited flexibility, and the ability to essentially take your trainer everywhere you travel is what makes online personal training a win-win situation for everyone.
