Benefits of Using an Online Personal Trainer

Working with a personal trainer can help you get back in shape and meet your fitness goals. Not only will your trainer teach you the basics and help you establish an effective workout routine, but they can also provide invaluable support and encouragement to help you stay motivated.

However, in-person training isn’t the only option available these days. When you hire an online personal trainer, you’ll get the same benefits as you would working with someone in-person, plus a few others. Here are a few benefits of using an online personal trainer. 

It’s Safer

Masking and social distancing are some of the best ways you can slow the spread of COVID and protect yourself and those around you.

When working with a virtual personal trainer, you can work out when and where you want in the safety of your home. You won’t have to worry about wearing a mask or keeping your distance, so you can put all your energy toward exercising! 

It’s More Flexible

Booking one-on-one, face-to-face appointments with a trainer can be challenging with everyone’s busy schedules. Not only will you have to coordinate your schedules, but you’ll also likely have to commute to the gym where they work or wait for them to come to you. 

Online personal training eliminates in-person meet-ups and commuting times so you can work out on your own schedule. Plus, if you travel or move a lot for your job, you can stick with your personal trainer, no matter where you are!

You’ll Have a Wider Selection of Trainers

Without any location restrictions, you can find a trainer who is an expert in the area you want to focus on, whether they live within commuting distance from your house or in another state. You’ll also be able to find someone whose personality you’re compatible with — not just someone with whom you’re geographically near.

It’s Customizable

Online personal trainers are just like in-person trainers. They’ll give you individual attention, create personalized plans that take your goals, lifestyle, and ability into account, and adapt your workout plans so you can continue to get the most out of your training.  Your online trainer can still identify specific exercises and a routine to help you reach your fitness goals more effectively. 

It’s More Affordable


One-on-one, in-person training sessions often carry a hefty price tag. Luckily, online training sessions are usually significantly less expensive than in-person ones. When you opt for virtual training sessions, you’ll cut back on costs while still reaping the same benefits you’d get from in-person training sessions.

Your trainer won’t spend as much time directly supervising you, but they will still be able to teach you how to perform workouts properly and encourage you when you need it the most.  Your trainer can still adjust your workout plan as you go and give you individual attention.  With technology these days, you can easily upload your workout videos to your trainer via an app and your trainer can give you immediate feedback.  As long as you’re dedicated to your workout routine, you can get the same results, in-person or not.
