How to Get a Personal Virtual Trainer

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended every part of life for most people, including their workout routines. With gyms closed and schedules disrupted, it’s a lot harder to focus on fitness and exercise. That’s where a virtual personal trainer comes in. Next Phase Studio is proud to offer personal training online during this difficult time, giving you convenient access to a fitness expert to tailor workouts to your goals and lifestyle. 

How Does Virtual Personal Training Work?

The gym is closed for now and contact with people outside of your household is discouraged—so how can you safely meet with a personal trainer? Your virtual personal trainer will communicate with you completely digitally. You can text, call, or message your trainer for tips and motivation, and work out with your trainer over video chat. Your trainer will discuss your fitness goals with you and create a custom plan that will help you get there. This way you get the personalized help you need, when you need it, while still staying safe.

What Are the Benefits of a Virtual Personal Trainer?

Just like working out with a trainer in person, working with a virtual personal trainer has a number of benefits, including:

  • Individualized attention. The internet is filled with free at-home workout videos, but none of these are aware of your individual goals and needs. A virtual personal trainer combines the convenience of at-home exercise with the boost of regular, personal access to a fitness expert. 

  • Injury prevention. A personal trainer takes your strengths and limitations into mind when creating a workout plan just for you. This can help prevent injury while still keeping you challenged.

  • Flexibility. The online format means flexible options for meeting with your personal trainer.

  • Custom fitness plan. What kind of exercise equipment do you have at home? Your virtual personal trainer can create a fitness plan that works toward your personal goals, is well-rounded, and incorporates the resources you have at home.

What Kind of Workouts Can You Do with a Virtual Personal Trainer?

Your personal trainer will create a custom program that incorporates various types of exercise designed to help you gain strength and endurance. At Next Phase Studio, your virtual personal trainer will incorporate these types of exercises:

  • Strength and resistance training

  • Hypertrophy and toning

  • Endurance 

  • Power

Your personal trainer can develop a fitness program that will fit a variety of goals, including gaining strength, losing weight, building lean muscle, boosting athletic performance, and preventing and treating injuries. Your individual situation will be considered as well—for example, your trainer will offer workouts tailored to athletes, seniors, and new or expecting mothers.

In addition to strength and cardio workouts, next Phase Studio virtual personal trainers can also lead you through a TRX workout, and we are one of the only fitness studio in the area that can offer this option.

You can keep up your fitness, even when every other part of life is disrupted. Ready to get started? Set up an appointment with a Next Phase Studio virtual personal trainer today.
