Many gyms were shut down as a safety precaution to minimize the risks of infection for gym-goers when the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year. With that, many were forced to find alternative methods to staying and getting in shape. The use of home gyms increased and the virtual fitness training industry exploded. Many people found this to be the better option for them over going to a gym. At Paru Fitness, we believe anyone can find success on their fitness journey with virtual training. If you’re still unsure if it’s right for you, we have five reasons why virtual training is better than going to a gym
You work out on your own schedule
Twenty-four-hour gyms have managed to tap into the needs of many people who have a busy schedule. Whether you prefer to get your workout done early in the morning or function better as a night owl, your schedule likely doesn’t match that of other people who go to your gym.
One of the best parts of virtual fitness training is that it can be done according to your schedule while saving you time. You don’t have to account for travel time to and from the gym, equipment clean up, or waiting your turn on a machine. If you have the equipment you need at your house, you can get through a complete workout when it’s convenient for you.
There isn’t anyone around to “help”
Your fitness journey is your own and you deserve to have some privacy if you want it. There are times at a gym when you’ll be going through your workout and simply minding your own business when someone who considers themself an “expert” comes over to “help” with what you’re doing. With an online trainer, you can have as much privacy as you want. Whether you want to work out in the comfort of your own home or take your device to the park, the choice is yours.
Easy access to expert training
Finding a trainer that’s right for you can be tough. Hopping from gym to gym while paying fees to work with a variety of trainers is not only ineffective, it’s expensive. You can more easily find an expert trainer by working with an online training service like Part Fitness. You have a chance to meet with a trainer without jumping through all the hoops it takes to meet someone for the first time at another gym.
Less expensive than traditional training
When you hire a trainer at a traditional gym, you not only have to pay for the trainer, you pay for the overhead that comes with them. Virtual trainers are able to operate at a fraction of the cost of what you would pay a traditional trainer because they aren’t employed by the gym and can reach a larger demographic than the gym caters to. This also means that they’re able to provide you with custom workout plans that more easily fit your needs.
You have access to a variety of programs
If you’re a regular gym-goer and enjoy attending the classes that are available, you understand that they can sometimes get boring and stale. This is nothing against the trainers and instructors, it just means that you’ve been an avid attendee to these classes and you’re looking to mix it up. With a virtual trainer, you can do exactly that. You have the ability to work directly with your trainer to try a variety of programs that are designed to fit your needs and maximize your effort.
