How does Online Personal Training Work

At the moment this is a question a lot of people are asking and in truth it’s basically the same as in person. That seems a very simple way of putting it but it honestly is not much different with individual training programmes specific to your goals. Talking to someone face to face for example is better than talking via Facetime etc. but essential the conversation would be the same

There are actually a lot of pros to doing it online:

1) It’s very time convenient & flexible, we all have busy lives; you don’t have to travel to a gym, worry about traffic or leaving work on time. You can choose a time which suits you

2) If you are not comfortable being in a gym environment with other members, mirrors etc. you are in your own home or garden without that worry. Set up is easy thanks to either Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp etc. and you get your programme emailed over upon completion

3) Accountability – having a session booked in means you will be training at that time and I’m also only 1 click or message away at any time to check in. The results are the same as with any other form of training, you will be putting in the hard work

4) Access to all the equipment planned. If I plan for you to use a certain set of Dumbbells when squatting in the gym and they are in use I adapt my plan which is no problem but ideally everything I plan you have access to. Bodyweight exercises will also feature – you don’t always need a lot of equipment for an effective workout

5) You can inspire other people in your household; your kids, partner etc. are all more likely to want to work on their own fitness if they see you doing so. The impact this can have on your kids is huge.

6) No gym membership fee

But it’s easy for me to say all of this, here are what some of clients have to say about transferring from doing personal training in the gym to doing online:

‘I have trained with Ross for a while now normally at Sporting Village in Basildon. With Covid19, today I had my first online training session. This was really good and was almost as good as a face to face session. In fact I'm thinking of making this format a regular thing. If you're not sure about this format, give it a try and you'll be surprised.’

‘I haven’t posted on Facebook for nearly 5 years, but I wanted to break my silence in support of my Personal Trainer Ross Taylor PT. He is superb at what he does and is looking to find ways to keep his clients active during the current lockdown. Today we did a lunchtime PT session via Skype. I was in my garden in the sunshine whilst he was in his living room giving instructions, monitoring my technique, etc. The session was still as tough as they always are with him so there was no getting off lightly. Highly recommend him to anyone that’s considering PT. Also a big shout out to his wife Danielle Taylor who is also a PT.’

‘When you can’t go to the gym, bring the gym to you!! Even had Ross Taylor PT with us via Skype!! If anyone is lacking motivation at the moment try online PT with Ross!! That’s gonna hurt tomorrow... Matthew Wilson 🙌🏼💪🏼👍🏼’

‘The last two weeks or so have made me more aware of my physical health and mental well being. I will aim to undertake regular exercise at least 2-3 times a week and maybe focus on some home yoga. I really recommend my PT instructor Ross Taylor PT, who as set up a home work out/video system that seems to work really well and is a great way for anyone who sometimes lacks self motivation like myself!’

‘Kalli and I just had a great PT session over Skype with Ross - it’s good to maintain our routine in these testing times! Unfortunately it was just as hard as it is in the gym, so DOMS tomorrow... 😂’
