FAQ

What is Online Fitness Coaching?
Online fitness coaching is the next best thing to in person training.
You’ll get personalized training programs with instruction videos and session guidance. Each session will have sets, reps, rest periods, tempo, and anything else your coach programs for you. You’ll have weekly program updates based on your progress and needs. Your coach will respond to your workouts with tailored video feedback within 24-48 hours so that you’ll have form corrections and considerations for your next workout.
Why Choose an Online Fitness Coach?
Online fitness coaching allows for flexibility in your schedule and convenience so that you can train when you have time; without having to worry about meeting your trainer in person at a set time. You can do workouts on your time with your equipment, but still get detailed professional feedback on your movements and intensity as well as top notch programming; all for a fraction of the price of in person personal training.
How is Online Fitness Coaching Different Than Personal Training?
In our post on Fitness Coaching vs. Personal Training, we explain that a fitness coach is a certified professional who is typically remote (non local), creating individualized programs, and coaching you asynchronously. Programs range from extremely involved, with regular meetings and feedback, to relatively hands-off and templated.
A personal trainer, on the other hand, is a certified professional who creates your programming and works with you in-person (local), monitoring your form and performance while giving you feedback in real time. In this article, we also include a helpful questionnaire to determine which one is right for you, based on factors like time commitment, affordability, and fitness level.
We use a fitness app called Truecoach to deliver your workouts at the start of each week. Each training session has demonstration videos and detailed instructions so you know exactly what to expect getting into your workout. While we can’t be in the room with you, we can give you feedback quickly after you upload videos of your training.
Is Online Fitness Coaching Worth It?
Online fitness coaching is ideal if you value flexibility, want personalized programming, and are comfortable working out independently. The benefits of online fitness coaching include:
- Flexibility: Work out when and where it suits you. This is ideal for those with unpredictable schedules or who prefer working out independently.
- Affordability: Online coaching is often more budget-friendly than in-person training, with prices ranging from $200–$300 per month for experienced coaches.
- Customization: Programs are tailored to your goals, fitness level, and available equipment, making it a versatile option for home, gym, or travel workouts.
- Wide Access to Coaches: Since it’s remote, you can select a coach who aligns with your specific needs, regardless of location.
- Nutrition Support: Many online fitness coaches offer additional guidance on nutrition, including calorie and macro tracking, making it a holistic approach.
However, If real-time feedback and hands-on guidance are more important to you, in-person training might be a better fit.
How to Choose a Personal Trainer or Fitness Coach
In our blog post on What to Look for in an Online Workout Program, we compare finding a great online fitness coach to dating—it takes effort to sift through the options and avoid the many potential red flags.
The ideal personal trainer or fitness coach is someone who takes the time to understand your background, goals, and any past injuries. They should know when to challenge you, how to keep you motivated, and connect with you on a personal level. Whether you’re aiming for powerlifting, bodybuilding, strength and conditioning, or need guidance on nutrition, the right trainer will align their expertise with your unique needs and aspirations.
