HELPING YOU GET STRONGER SINCE 2004

Gymchat 164 – Online Training II
Written By : Scott Bird

Quick reminder : in this week’s Gymchat we’ll be discussing the various ways to connect with your trainer (or client, depending on which side of the fence you sit) when you’re not actually in the same physical location. Join us for Online Training II.


If you’re a strength coach or personal trainer, do you offer any online services as part of your training? If you’re an athlete, have you ever used any; or would you like to find out a little more about them?
We first looked at this topic a little over a year ago, following a discussion on Setting Up a Strength Training Facility. If you’re a personal trainer or strength coach, this is an ideal opportunity to discuss the pros and cons of offering online services.
Everything from custom program design to teleseminars and video training.
And if you’re curious about online training from the other side of the fence (as the client), this is a great chance to find out a little more. Helping us do just that is Renaissance FitnessDerek Peruo. Fantastic.
And if you’ve just joined us on Google+, welcome. Join us on April 11th, and add a comment/ask a question or three. Dive in.
