The latest trend sweeping the globe in the Health and fitness Industry is the mass growth of online fitness coaching.
Often you will see advertisements across social media for online coaching packages and transformation challenges. But what do you really get without face to face contact?
Well having made myself available as an online coach, I can attest there is a great amount of benefit too it.
If you are time poor, work away, don't have a gym membership or don't want one, are just some of the markets that can be attracted to this style of coaching.
It is also generally cheaper than face to face and the good online coaches will be available online at the drop of a hat to answer your questions or provide feedback on your progress.
Obviously to this upside there is a downside with many taking advantage of this movement in coaching and offering substandard advice and training.
As a coach and recognised PT, my advice would be to do your research.
Check their website, social media platforms and reviews. Ensure they are insured and registered and are who they say they are.
Another way is to view their results. If it is weight loss you are after, ask to see previous clients results. If it is bodybuilding or size you are chasing, request photos of previous clients. The greatest marketing tool an online coach has is photos.
A good online coach will have before and after photos of all their clients (with their permission of course) to be used down the track to prove their worth.
Bad advice, in person or not, can have long lasting negative effects to your health and fitness so choosing the right trainer or coach is an important decision.
There is a lot out there now, and its not just locally based. you can source well renowned coaches from all over the world.
In my opinion, face to face is a much more rewarding and satisfying experience and will get you your results sooner, however if you do fall into one of the categories listed above then online coaching and still being accountable to someone may in fact do you the world of good.
Final tips when seeking out an online coach.
1. Check their website
2. Check there social media pages and reviews
3. Ensure they are insured and registered
4. Source result photos
They can promise everything under the sun but when its time to deliver, fall well short of these promises so be confident in the decision you make.
