In researching how Personal training was being offered on the internet there seemed to be a few options available. Sites offering systems for you to build your own workouts and sites offering you mini clips of one exercise repeated over and over again, all by the same trainer!!!!
One thing that struck us as odd is that actually Personal Training is “personal”, so actually, no site should be claiming to be offering it at all. It is another loop of jargon we are all so familiar with, that we almost don’t even notice it.
In realising this, we were able to develop what we believe is a superior system for giving people gym workouts on the internet. The tipping point in our minds was that some (not all) Personal Trainers have different areas of expertise. My own is Brides and High BMI, infact running marathons and weight training I know comparatively little about. So, again a one man site offering “Personal Training” is actually limited to the knowledge of the person running the site.
On all the sites we researched there was not one example of me looking at a trainer and wanting to look like them, this concerns me, because unless you are passionate about one area, you won’t be “body ready” and you will be generic as apposed to specialist, you will be theory as apposed to practice.
We felt that we could go far, far better than offer you the chance to build your own workout from lots of different exercises clips (which could be at worst a waste of time) by bringing in the “horses mouths” for you to learn directly from. They are “the horses mouths” because they train themselves in a specialist area and therefore look the look and walk the walk.
Our Gym Concept is therefore unique to our site and brings you specialist knowledge of a workout in the gym which is closest to the body type or sport you are tying to achieve. For each Gym Workout there is a technical video and a workout video. We separated them out because we figured you would only want (or need) to watch the technical video once. The workout is downloadable to your i-pod or as a document. It is shot in clips so you can watch the next clip in your rest period and it will demonstrate the next exercise and remind you what your reps, sets and safety tips are.
The shoots have been a challenge for our trainers to shoot, we think they have done an excellent job, we know their workouts will work for you and they have even written mini articles to give you extra information to assist you.
You are our clients, so please, write into us and tell us how you get on with this format? Are you achieving your goals? Are you comfortable with this format and what improvements can you suggest? We are listening…………..meanwhile, go well and train hard!!!
