It’s not difficult to find a personal trainer, especially with Crossfit gyms (and the like) opening up on every corner like Starbucks. That said, you may ask yourself why you would want to download another app, in addition to all of the ones that are already taking up space on your mobile device for fitness. Yet, a lot of people are turning to the internet to inspire their next workout. Why is that? Here are five reasons that you can benefit from online fitness training.

1. Time Management

​

We are constantly on the go and when we do find time to workout, it may be at odd hours or we may find ourselves too exhausted during the time that we already scheduled to be with our trainer. Training online gives you flexible times for your workouts.  Here you can do half in one sitting and half in another, or when you find time to squeeze it in when you’re available or are running on a little extra energy(caffeine).

2. No Restraints on Location

​

When you are on the go, on vacation, or traveling for work, you can still access your necessary regiments. Online fitness training generally uses equipment that you already have available or  without the need for any at all. Especially now that we are finding ourselves in the season of perpetual traveling and eating all that you have to do is log in from wherever you are at and whenever you feel motivated. Or perhaps you may have a great in-person trainer, but a little extra help never hurts when you can’t sync your schedules together.

3. Cost

 

Sometimes the idea of a gym can seem daunting. They often come with long contracts and a pretty hefty bill, especially when you void the contract before it is over. Training with a certified trainer online can cost a fraction of a gym membership. training online typically cost less a month than one in-person gyn session. Plus a lot of online trainers add a helpful meal-plan that you can have in the palm of your hands along with your workout guide.

4. Stress Free

​

Sometimes in-person training sessions come with added stress. You may not feel you look your best that day and prefer to see, well, lets face it, nobody. We all have those days where we just don’t want to socialize, no matter how much your trainer may be your best friend or you just don’t want to run into that person in the gym today. Online training gives you the freedom to be on your own, in your own head and if you aren't paying attention you can simply rewind.

5. Results

​

Training online has proven results and most online trainers post their clients successes for you to see. They also help you track your success as well. If in-person training is too costly for you or if you already have a great personal trainer but find yourself on the go, for a few extra dollars you can boost your current workout regimen.

At the end of the day it is up to you to get yourself motivated to stay healthy and finding the ways that work best for you is key.
