Benefits to Online Fitness Training

In the last few months, I have had an increase in clients. Not just personal training clients, but also the number of people participating in my Strength and Movement Groups, both outside on Wednesday mornings and online on Mondays at lunchtime.

Maybe you have thought about doing some training online but you are not sure if it is for you. I have therefore put together some of the advantages you can get out of joining an online class:

1. If you work from home, you can stop work, train for an hour, and then get back to work. This makes your day more efficient.

2. No travel time — no need to travel to a park or gym to do your workout.

3. Easy to fit into your weekly routine. Because the class is at the same time every week.

4. No gym membership costs on top of the class. Because only bands and small weights are used in the class, there is no need for an expensive gym membership.

5. You can continue training with the group when you are on holiday or on a business trip.

6.  If you feel like training outside, you can bring your screen outside and join in your garden or local park.
7. And when the weather is bad, you don’t even need to step outside your front door.
8. You have a connection with others compared to if you train alone. This is good for your mental health, especially if you always work at home with little connection.

Of course, there are some limitations in this format of training. I don’t see everyone from all angles and that limits the amount of correction I can do. Also, the class is less social than my Wednesday class. Participants tend to be on mute to avoid background noises irritating others, but it is always welcome for those to come off mute and ask questions and/or share their experience during the class. But, as you can see from above, there are so many benefits to online training

If you are at home on Mondays at 12:00, you are welcome to join your first session for free (sign up here). All you need is a mat and a few resistance bands.
