Health is wealth, and maintaining a consistent fitness schedule is essential for a long and healthy life.
Working out looks different for everyone. Some people like to attend classes, while others prefer to work out in the comfort of their own homes. If you have never really upheld a consistent workout schedule in the past or worked out at all, you may prefer the idea of learning in a more private setting.
A big mistake people make when working out from home is not accepting support. If you don’t have any experience in planning exercises, you may not end up targeting the right areas, and many people who don’t see the results they are looking for tend to give up.
One way to ensure you stay on track and achieve your goals is by receiving support and guidance from an online fitness coach. At POW8R, we offer a variety of online coaching options through our fitness app, perfect for every health journey.
Read on to learn more about how online fitness coaching can change your life.
What is Online Fitness Coaching?
Online fitness coaching is one of the newer exercise management and training innovations. If you have had a face-to-face personal trainer in the past, it is not too dissimilar to how a fitness coach designs a personalised fitness program, encourages consistency and offers support.
However, online fitness coaching is entirely online, meaning that all fitness plans and programs can be accessed through an online platform or with brands like POW8R, an app.
With the POW8R app, you can access over 600 workouts whenever and wherever you want, take part in live classes and browse nutritionally beneficial meal plans- now, can you get all that out of a personal trainer?
Now that you’ve a clearer picture of online fitness coaching, let’s explore its benefits.
Exercises Can Be Completed Anywhere
One of the major drawbacks of using a personal trainer is the limitations that come with it. Not only do you have to work to your schedule, but you also have to consider that a standard PT likely has several clients and a limited schedule too.
By using an online fitness coaching service, you can access a wide variety of pre-recorded workouts whenever you want and can carry them out wherever you want.
If you cannot leave the house or are away on holiday, you can still maintain your workout schedule and stay on track with your fitness journey. Working out should fit around your schedule, not the other way around, and online coaching allows that flexibility.
Comfortable Workouts
Another big benefit of online personal training is the potential for comfort while working out. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, it’s only natural to experience times when you feel self-conscious or insecure.
When you are not feeling positive about your appearance, it can be difficult to focus on achieving the best results when working out in front of others.
With all of our POW8R workouts and challenges, the only equipment you will need is a kettlebell and mat. This means that you can do all of our workouts in the privacy of your own home if you prefer, ensuring that you feel comfortable on days when you aren’t feeling yourself.
Accountability
Sure, it is possible to work out without the support of an online fitness coach, but will you achieve the results that you want by going it alone? When you work with an online personal trainer, they will hold you accountable and ensure you stay on track.
The POW8R app fosters a community space where users can talk to others on a fitness journey, hold each other accountable, share progress, and encourage each other.
Sometimes, we all need encouragement to keep us motivated and on track. It’s important to remember that fitness is a journey and it can be easy to waver, so having people there to support you is important.
Monitoring Progress
Another huge benefit of attending personal training classes online is the ease of monitoring your progress. When you work out at home alone, tracking which areas of your body have been worked out can be difficult.
Following online training sessions will give you an accurate account of your progress and let you know exactly which workouts you have completed.
With regular check-ins with the personal trainers, they can give you feedback on your workouts and update you on your progress.
Live Workouts
You will benefit from live workouts if you like to feel more in touch with your trainers and develop that personal connection. The beauty of live workouts is the freedom to take it at your own pace while still receiving live expert advice and asking questions.
Sometimes, knowing that you have to attend a workout at a specific time can help you manage your time better and help you stay on track.
Motivation
We get it. Waking up at 5 a.m. to attend a personal training session before work is not very motivating. This is why online fitness coaching is ideal, as it can easily fit into your schedule.
Having convenient access to workout tools makes working out feel less of a chore and improves motivation, leading to much better results.
More Cost Effective
Personal training can be incredibly costly. In Merseyside, you can expect to pay around £34 per training session, which can add up if you have several monthly sessions.
With an online fitness coach, you tend to pay a fixed subscription which is much cheaper than a personal trainer. At POW8R, our monthly subscription cost is £29.99, which means that you have unlimited access to support for the cost of one standard personal training session.
We also offer big discounts on quarterly and annual memberships to save you even more money.
If you are looking to save money, online training is certainly something that you should consider.
