Since 2020, things have become increasingly virtual. For a while, we worked from home, went to school from home, socialized from home, and even visited the doctor from home. Online personal training and group classes also took off during the pandemic — and some people still prefer it!
Three Reasons Why It’s A Great Idea To Hire An Online Coach
Working with an online personal trainer gives you many of the benefits that working with someone in person does. You’ll still have someone holding you accountable, offering expert advice and giving you support every step of the way. However, an online coach also provides a few specific benefits that you wouldn’t necessarily get from in-person coaching.
1. Flexibility
Everyone seems to be short on time these days. Squeezing in time to travel to the gym or meet up with your trainer at a nearby park in person isn’t always easy. On top of that, a trip can throw your entire schedule off if you run into traffic!
The good news is that online coaching is far more flexible than in-person coaching. After all, you won’t have to make it to the gym during busy peak hours, and neither you nor your coach will need to commute.
With the help of a live trainer on video or even some video demonstrations, you can exercise from anywhere. So, it’s no problem if you need to attend a last-minute work trip, can’t make it to the gym, or are planning a vacation. Online coaching offers the support and guidance you need to reach your goals, all while being incredibly flexible around your life schedule. It’s a win-win!
2. Savings
Inflation has been high and countless people across the country have struggled to make ends meet. Personal training isn’t cheap, and it’s often one of the first things to go when money is tight. However, you don’t have to give up your training! Online coaching is great for those on a tight budget. After all, you won’t have to deal with gym fees, and your coach won’t have to factor in commuting times and costs when determining prices.
Prices vary by coach and location, but you can often get an entire month of online training for the price of one or two in-person training sessions. Other times, you can get an even better deal!
Best of all, you won’t have to sacrifice quality. You’ll still receive professional and personal attention, helpful feedback, custom programming, and expert guidance necessary for your fitness journey!
3. A Wider Selection Of Coaches
By opting for an online coaching experience, you’ll also gain access to a broader selection of coaches. After all, you won’t be limited by location. Instead, you can use Facetime, Zoom, texts, various types of messaging systems, and of course calls to receive support while building a strong relationship.
Online coaching will allow you to work with a coach from across the city, the country, or even the ocean! You won’t be geographically restricted and can work with the best of the best, no matter where they are. Plus, using an online coach means that once you find the perfect coach, you can stick with them no matter what. Even if you move across the country (or they do!), you can continue virtually.
