5 Reasons to Hire an Online Personal Trainer

Getting sweaty via Skype or email makes one-on-one training possible for almost anyone

There’s a better selection of trainers.

Your gym has a limited staff of trainers who may or may not be able to meet your needs. But on the web, your options are endless. “Different people look for different qualities in trainers based on their own personalities and preferences,” says Reale. Someone who’s just signed up for a 100-mile bike ride might want to work with a trainer who specializes in endurance—not a muscle-bound Schwarzenegger type who hasn’t ridden a bike since 1985. “Skype provides the client a great deal of freedom in choosing a trainer, without concerns about geographical location,” says Whalen.

Need help narrowing options? Fill out a few questionnaires about your fitness goals, favorite activities, schedule, personality type, and any medical problems, and FitOrbit can match you to one of its 300 personal trainers.
