After working in the sports and fitness field for over 20 years, I never would have thought that online and live virtual training would be possible, much less quickly growing methods of training. I have always worked with clients at fitness centers, gyms, fields and other locations --- now I am training several clients across a computer screen.
In the past two months we have become accustomed to communicating with colleagues, family and/or friends from a distance using virtual meeting applications like Skype, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Why should coaching and training be any different?
We are making many personal sacrifices to stay home and stay safe. Fitness and wellness are sustainable via Live Virtual Training (fitness and sports coaching with a live trainer via smart phone or tablet) and Online Training (video and other media accessible via mobile app or on web).
Although some might be reluctant to start training from home or outdoors, etc., there are many benefits, such as:
- Affordability – There are no travel costs and you can make that post-workout shake from your own kitchen. Also, rates are typically lower for online and live virtual training.
- Convenience – Schedule at your convenience with a live trainer, or train anytime with online media.
- Flexibility – Work directly with a live virtual trainer to get the personal attention and motivation you need on some days; on other days, use the personalized workout plans and videos to train.
- Privacy – Already have a home gym or a space to work out? Live virtual training adds the missing element to a home gym. It is a great opportunity for anyone who is uncomfortable being in a gym environment.
