What is online personal training?
Online personal training is exactly what it sounds like — professional fitness coaching delivered virtually, so you can train anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s through video calls, custom workout plans, app-based programs or regular check-ins, you get expert guidance without needing to show up to a physical gym.
Whereas, in-person PT is the traditional format of working directly with a trainer — whether in a gym, private studio, outdoors, or in your home. You meet face-to-face, follow a plan tailored to your goals, and receive hands-on guidance through every step of your workout.
The online format is especially popular with busy women who want flexibility, structure, and support, without giving up hours commuting or being tied to a rigid schedule. Compare online and in-person training here.
How online PT works
Every coach delivers online training slightly differently, but here's how it often looks:
You complete an in-depth consultation and goal-setting session (via video or form)
Your trainer builds a personalised training plan that fits your schedule and equipment
You access workouts, track progress, and receive support via an app or messaging
Optional video check-ins, form reviews, and nutrition support are included
It’s not a one-size-fits-all program — it’s a structured plan tailored to you.
The benefits of online personal training
1. Train on your time
No commute, no booking windows — just the freedom to train when it suits you, whether that’s early mornings, after the kids go to bed, or on your lunch break.
2. Affordable support
Online coaching often costs less per month than one in-person session per week — but still gives you access to expert guidance and accountability.
3. Stay consistent, even when life is hectic
Sick days, travel, childcare, work stress? Online PT is built to flex around life — not cancel it.
4. Build independence and confidence
Learn how to train smart, listen to your body, and build habits that stick — all while being supported behind the scenes.
