Online personal fitness training

An online personal fitness trainer can be defined as an individual who educates and trains clients over the internet in the performance of safe and appropriate exercises to effectively lead his clients to their fitness goals.

An online personal trainer should know about Exercise Programming, Exercise Physiology, Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics, Assessments and Fitness Testing, Nutrition and Weight Management, Basic Emergency Procedures and Safety, Program Administration and Human Behavior/Motivation.

The online personal trainer certifications should be accredited by the NSCA, ACE, ACSM, NASM, ISSA or an equivalent organization. There are two different kinds of online personal training websites. The first one and proven to be the most effective one, film their own exercise videos which enables them to customize exercises for their client’s personal need. The second kind of online training websites use computer-animated exercise videos and/or picture sequences which sometimes can be hard to understand. The rates for online personal training are ranging in between $40.00 to $200.00 per month.

The advantages of online training are:

  • cheaper rates than a regular personal fitness trainer would charge,
  • a process as effective as regular personal training,
  • ease with which people can work out at home,
  • that people do not get embarrassed training with a personal trainer in a gym and
  • most online training websites offer 24-hour e-mail or live chat support.

    Online personal training websites work as follows: A client signs up for online personal training, the trainer develops a workout and nutrition program, the client is getting taught the exercises through videos and live chat, every four weeks the program gets adjusted.

    The most popular online personal trainers are Fabian Borgmann, Dan Taylor, Martin Stuck, Denise Hako, Janine Pilau, Fadi Malouf and Monica Alonso. Please be aware that there are some scam websites or trainers who give very poor services.
