Why work with an online personal trainer?

Someone asked me the other day, with fitness information, programs and videos so readily available online, why do people still work with personal trainers?

These are some of the things I’ve heard from clients:

making a commitment to their goals and plans without relying on always feeling motivated (who does? ) – the time is booked and they just have to show up

they already do lots of thinking and planning at home and work – they don’t want to overthink their movement sessions, it’s nice having someone else be a guide

some time out of the week that is just about them doing something for themselves

there’s a lot of information out there, and also a lot of misinformation – and it’s a lot to sift through. A trainer can cut through all of that and give them the information that’s relevant to them

some people genuinely don’t enjoy exercise in and of itself, but know it’s important for their wellbeing, and find it easier and more pleasant to do with someone else there alongside them

personalised sessions that are adapted to how they’re feeling in the present moment, as well as working around any injuries they might have
