Online Personal Training - What is it? The best info for clients and trainers - how be began our business and more
We are only accepting old clients for online training - thank you so much for this success
Online Personal Training is a great method of offering personalized programs to clients who have advanced to the point where they no longer need supervision.
A true online personal trainer is a professional trainer who also does in-personal consultations and classes.
They will offer a telephone consultation, (either through skype or another Internet based interaction vehicle.) a certain amount of direct e-mail contact and monthly updates to your "interactive" programs.
Online training requires the instructor to have access to a great a reputable software that will allow them to track your progress and make changes to the program as you need them.
There will a certain amount of e-mails included in your online price as well as a once a month telephone update lasting about 30 minutes or more each.
A true online training package will also allow you to purchase additional contact with the trainer. Additional e-mail support, telephone support and even in-person support.
Online Personal Training Frauds- what not to spend your money on!
I will not mention names or companies - but there are some companies that offer "Online Personal Training" for a small monthly fee of 6.99$ a month or 9.99$ a month.
These are computer generated "basic"- pre-made programs. They take your money and often spit out the same programs over and over.
A real trainer, who does online personal training can not live on such a small fee. It takes time to create a personalized program and time to read and answer personal e-mails and telephone calls. Computer generated programs are no-better than free programs. Do not waste your money on them.
If you are past the beginner stage, an athlete, dedicated long term fitness buff or even a fitness trainer looking for some new ideas then I recommend finding a real trainer that does online personal training, purchasing videos for your workout subject or purchasing access to a large library of programs pre-made by experts in each field.
The Real Cost Of Online Personal Training
We at Bodyphysix charge 75$ a month- on a recurring basis to our clients for online personal training. Our in person programs usually cost 140$ a month and our live sessions are about 40$ plus applicable taxes for a 30 min to 45 min session.
In our online package we include 1 30 minute telephone update and 4 emails to each of our clients every month.
Our online training spots have therefore offered us more secure revenue- but still require a lot of our time. But we love it and are blessed.
We are not trying to make a sales pitch. We are relating our business structure because we would like to make clear that real "online personal training" has a real person following you and not the "cheapest" sales pitch.
Workout Pass - A Great Wrokout Resource for Fitness Minded Individuals
Some people are intermediate or even advanced fitness "buffs"- they do not truly need a trainer. They have been working out for a while- managed to get to most of their health goals- but need something different to keep their "workout passion" alive.
This often happens to athletes and even over worked trainers. They need inspiration and may not have the time to consult a "tennis trainer specialist" - a "hockey coach" or even just a "postural fitness consultant". Trainers and even physiologists can not "experts" at everything.
I am sorry - it takes time and dedication to become a true expert in any type of training. If someone declares they can "do anything" they are probably desperate for clients and will give you a mediocre program.
Workout Pass had brought together over 43 different workout websites and access to all of them for a very low price. I have personally used their programs with my clients and recommend their service to "intermediate clients and higher level individuals." They have Golf workouts, Basketball, Ab Programs, Pregnancy Specific Workouts and more, all created by "different" and "specialized" experts in their field. This is not Online Personal Training, it is a great Workout Resource.
If you are a beginner please do not purchase tis program- unless you would like to use the programs with your own "live" personal fitness instructor.

Great Personal Fitness Trainer Resource
This might be a great resource if you know of any "new" trainers and instructors. They can learn new training techniques and as a beginner you will have a high quality program from and expert and the motivation and supervision of a live trainer. It is a win- win situation. You pay less for your trainer and he or she will learn new techniques.
Purchasing books and going to workshops costs a great deal of money and takes a lot of time. You can use workout pass for educational purposes and also get paid to try these workouts on your own clients.
This is a note to any trainers reading this - do not take credit for a program created by someone else. Your clients will respect you much more if you tell them that you researched their needs and found them an expert program. Tell then that you would be honoured to teach it to them.
You will them be respect and seen as a "true" health professional, dedicated to their success.
