Why Train Online?

When I tell people that I coach clients virtually they seem to struggle to understand what that actually means. Do we Skype while the client is working out? Is there some kind of elaborate virtual reality program/equipment involved? And also, why would someone want to work with a trainer online? I'd like to take this opportunity to explain why you may want to consider online training and offer you an opportunity to train online with me.

Time
By and far the largest impediment to sticking to an exercise/diet regimen is time.  We're all pulled in          many directions, tied to appointments, meetings, kids soccer games etc.. Finding the time to meet with a trainer in person (when the trainer is also available) can be challenging.  If you attend group fitness classes, you have to revolve your schedule around when they're offered and if you're running late or the class fills up, you may miss your work out entirely. When you work with a coach online such as myself, you work out when it's convenient for you.  You can work out at home with dumbbells and an exercise ball, in a gym or even the park if you want be outside.  

Location, Location, Location
When you train online you aren't restricted to going to a certain gym and you can even work out at home or in the park.  You may live in an area where there aren't many options or maybe the hours at your local gym don't work with your schedule. As your coach I can tailor the work outs to your preferred location as well as the equipment you have available.

Accountability
Next to time, people often say that lack of accountability is preventing progress. Via the Trainerize App I'm able to see when you work out, and follow you progress. There are options to share food intake, photos, as well as measurements. 

Are YOU a candidate for online training?

• Do you have at least 6 months of exercise experience?
• Are you motivated to work out alone, but lack a plan?
• Does your schedule prohibit you from making it to fitness classes when they're offered?
• Do you need accountability to remain consistent?

Is Online Training NOT a good option for you?

• Are you completely new to working out?
• Do you have several injuries that require modifications when you exercise?
• Do you enjoy working out in a group?
• Do you dislike using phone Apps?

Here's what my clients are saying about training online with me using the Trainerize App:

Using Trainerize and having Jen as a our virtual coach made all the difference when we went on a month long road trip. We didn't backslide!! My favorites: the customized workouts that Jen gave us through the app, having her celebrate us when we were doing well, and being able to chat with her at any point. Highly recommend!
                                                                                                                                             -  Lyndsey

What I like best about using Trainerze is having a way to interact with Jen out side of our regular sessions. Sometimes the gym can be overwhelming and I like that the app makes it feel like Jen is right there in the gym with me. She can send me personalized workouts and see each time I complete one. Using the app helps me keep myself accountable and stay on top of my fitness goals.
                                                                                                                                               - Emily

Road trips have never been the place I expected I'd keep up with my fitness goals, yet Jen's coaching, which skillfully utilized the Trainerize app, was a perfect example of a coach-away-from-home. The strong clear focus on key exercises every morning, along with timed intervals for extra self-challenge, kept us healthy, happy, and resistant to the twin challenges of ubiquitous fast food and extended sitting time. It felt like we brought Jen with us, and she was a fantastic travel companion!
                                                                                                                                             - Colin

I'm looking for 3 motivated people who want to get stronger, lose some body fat and feel more confident - and do it through online training at a introductory reduced rate.

Are you tired of working out and not seeing results?

Are you confused/frustrated with the conflicting information about nutrition and exercise?

Do you struggle to work out consistently?

Do you want a program specifically tailored to your time, experience, likes/dislikes and available equipment?

Do you like the idea of having access to an experienced compassionate coach anytime?

If you found yourself answering YES! to many of these questions, take a minute and fill out this questionnaire and then we can see if we'd work well together.  I'll be accepting 3 new clients at a reduced rate so don't miss out on this great opportunity.
