Looking for a way to hire a Personal Trainer at a FRACTION of the cost? Lucky for you, technology has gotten so savy that it’s gotten quite inexpensive to have a relationship with someone to help get you in shape.

There are some definate pros and cons to hiring a PT online. The major CON would be that the trainer doesn’t have any “hands on” ability to really help you utilize proper form and alignment while exercising. If you have injuries, then online PT would not be the answer for you.

However if you have a solid history of exercise, and you’re looking for a way to keep things fresh and new, then working with someone online may be a great option.

How does it work?

For anywhere from $10 to $100 a month, you can get access to an online account that will provide you with pictures/ videos of workouts to help you meet your goals. For the cheaper sites these workouts are usually automatically generated based on your answers to a medical feedback form. For the more expensive sites, there may actually be a Personal Trainer who is taking a look at your info and designing the workouts for you. In addition to the exercise help, the site will recommend cardiovascular exercise and help to monitor your nutrition. Nutrition help can vary from site to site but most will actually provide you with a menu to help meet your goals.

The main reason most people succeed with Personal Training is accountability. If the site can provide this for you, then take a closer look at this option for your fitness needs. Here are some various sites and different prices points to check out:
