Workouts fit your schedule, not your trainer’s.
“With a physical gym and trainer, you have to factor in the commute to the gym and any time you spend waiting for your trainer, and book your workout around when your trainer is free,” says Amir Hosseinpour, senior vice president of product strategy for FitOrbit. “Plus, if you cancel your session, you may have to still pay the fee.”
While Skype sessions operate on-schedule similar to how gym sessions work, you’ll save yourself travel time by working out at home. “Clients enjoy the flexibility of knowing that they can schedule in a 30-minute private session, receive a great workout, and be back at work or enjoying their vacation right after,” says Jennifer Blaine, founder of Jennifer Pilates, who offers private and group sessions via Skype.
If you connect with a trainer using a program like FitOrbit, your workout for the day will arrive in your inbox and you can complete it whenever you find time. Reale’s services work the same way—she sends her clients month-long fitness plans that include both cardio and strength training sessions and checks in via email to answer questions and see how they are progressing with the program.
Another time-saver: you can exercise anywhere, which is ideal for frequent travelers “The client only needs enough space to stand up and lie down,” says Whalen.
