If you’re hoping to get fit for your big day, you might be thinking about getting a personal trainer.
However, for one reason or another, perhaps in person training won’t work for you. Maybe you don’t
live near a gym that offers personal training, or maybe you’re still trying to avoid crowded places.
Some people work long hours, so the last thing they feel like doing when they get home is driving to a
personal training session. In all of those situations, an online personal trainer could be the solution
you’re looking for. Here’s how it works:
Just like real world trainers, there are different levels of training that an online fitness trainer might
have, and just like real world trainers, the best thing you can do is ask about their credentials.
Some trainers specialize in a particular type of training, others offer nutrition and training services and
more. So when you’re looking for an online personal training service, be sure to find out what your
trainer will be able to do for you.
Just like real world training, your online personal training service will probably want to know where you
are starting from, in terms of your body type and your fitness level.
They will probably ask you for some information about your weight and height, eating habits and
exercise or activity levels. They might also ask if you have any health conditions or mobility problems.
This will help them to start developing a plan that will work for you.
Some personal trainers will ask you to provide measurements or pictures of your body too. Again, this is
all so that they can develop the right training program for you.
There are several ways that you might do online personal training sessions, depending on the trainer
and service you choose to use.
Some might do all live action video training sessions, while others might give you access to prerecorded
training videos and chat, or email based support for your questions. Others might offer a mix of both, so
you can do your online personal training workouts at a time that works for you.
When you use an online personal training session, your trainer will need to get information about your
progress from you. They may ask you to weigh yourself and take your measurements once a week or
month, or they might recommend that you use an online service to track your activity, calories burned
and more.
As your online personal training process advances, your trainer will probably adjust the exercises and
workout routines you do as part of your training. That’s because, as you get fitter and stronger, the
workouts will become easier, and you’ll need more reps, slightly different exercises and other
adjustments to get the same results.
Online personal training is not as hands on as in person training, because it’s all done online. However, it
can certainly give you the same results.
