Start Online Training Yourself

A good professional trainer, whether they’re online or in your town, trains clients on the way to eventually do most of the work on their own. And that means sacrificing some job security.

But that’s part of being a good Online Personal Trainer and coach. In fact, you should be worried if your trainer seems like they’re withholding information. You should never feel enslaved to your trainer.

If you are the more self-motivated type, you can take that autonomy a step further. First, find a basic training plan online. 

Next, consult a trainer with those papers in hand. Finally, ask your trainer the harder “why” questions that they get paid the big bucks for Why do I feel this way when I get stressed? Why are my workouts so inconsistent? Why do I feel like I’m hitting a plateau?

Ultimately, no one except you can decide what kind and level of online training you need to succeed. But follow these basic guidelines to hiring an online fitness coach — and at least feel better about what you’re paying for.

Pay for Contact

Online training plans are a dime a dozen. “You want to spend the money on the contact time, not the written word.” Follow the 90-10 rule: 10 percent for the “written” stuff and 90 percent for the human aspect.

That could mean paying extra or a “premium” level online to be able to call and talk to your online personal training pro about stress and other things affecting your fitness goals. Parameters could be texting a reasonable amount of times per day or week, or even sharing videos, such as proper form when lifting weights.
