You can work with what you’ve got.

You don’t necessarily need a gym membership to complete the workouts that your online personal trainer puts together for you. “The more equipment available, the more variety I can include in a plan,” says Reale. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t provide a solid training plan for at-home workouts.” (Related: Household Objects That Improve Your Fitness)

“If someone is limited financially, but does want to include some extra weight equipment in their workout, we will improvise and use whatever is around them—water jugs, phone books, and so on,” says Whalen, who favors body weight exercises. “I do mainly callisthenic training with my Skype clients because I have found this to be just as good and sometimes even more beneficial and demanding than using equipment.” When weights are used, Whalen keeps it simple: “The clients I do train with equipment use mainly free weights, a Swiss ball, a Bosu ball, and an exercise mat,” he says.

If you’re a fan of the gym, that’ll work, too. “I work with clients who train with me via Skype and also go to their gym on their own to do cardio or whatever else I have planned for them,” says Whalen.
