Pro's and Con's of Virtual Training

I don’t think Live Fit ever imagined a day when all of their training sessions would be performed via Zoom or FaceTime! Covid-19 has forced us to change our business plan from majority face to face training to Zoom training during the Stay at Home order in Johnson County. Since the Stay at Home order has been lifted we have found that several of our clients still want to continue Virtually Training; so today I wanted to chat about the pro’s and con’s of Virtual Training.

Pro’s of Virtual Training:

  • Can be performed anywhere! Business trips are no longer an excuse.

  • Limit’s the time needed to get in your training session. (no drive time)

  • Customized Workout from the comfort of your home.

  • Continued support and technique guidance via video chat.

  • And let’s be honest, the most important one….you can workout in your pajamas!

Con’s of Virtual Training:

  • No hand’s on correction.

  • Limited access to equipment.

  • Prevents ability for stretching assistance and massage.

I am thankful we have discovered how well Virtual Personal Training can be performed during the Stay at Home order. I do not think it is for everyone but I think it can be extremely beneficial for so many people! If there is a positive I can take away from Covid-19 is my comfort level of Virtually Training. I have so many business moms/dads, or busy professionals that are forced to skip workouts because they cannot make it into the gym. Virtual Personal Training has limited those issues!
