However, fitness training done in front of a computer screen can actually be quite passive work, and you might not push yourself as hard as you would with a trainer in person.With a personal trainer you will work face-to-face, and you can benefit from human interaction and communication. You are able to ask questions and receive real guidance to make sure you’re doing things right.There are therefore many advantages to working with a personal trainer â€" it can be the most encouraging and effective way to reach personal goals such as weight-loss or body-building. You are forced to be active, and this brings about quick and noticeable results.It is also true, however, that personal trainers come at a serious cost. If you have a gym membership, that might include some personal training as part of the price, but generally personal training is a luxury that not many people can afford.And this is exactly why an online personal trainer is so great! It’s easy to find free, motivational and intense workouts that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home, or when you’re out and about with an app on your phone.
