Tips For Choosing The Right Online Fitness Program That Delivers Results!
Introduction
Being physically active is essential for weight management, stress reduction, and overall health and well-being! Now not everyone can afford to have a personal trainer. In-person personal training is a luxury. However, there are many other options out there! Unfortunately, there are too many different options that people need clarification when searching online!
I made this blueprint to help you choose the best online workout programs for your requirements and specific objectives!
Tips for choosing the best online workout routine!
Consider your fitness goals.
Before you start searching for the best weight loss home program, or before you start searching for the best online fitness program for body transformations, you need to ask yourself two main questions:
What is my objective - do I want to lose weight, build muscle, run a marathon, learn how to do a handstand, or learn a new martial arts skill?
Where do I want to exercise - Am I willing to commit to going to the commercial gym, which is a 20min drive away from me, or do I want to get a quick workout at home? Do I want to invest in a pair of dumbbells at home, or do I want to use my own body?
Factor in your fitness level.
Are you someone who never trained before, or have you perhaps consistently trained for years, and now you have reached a phase of diminishing returns?
If you are a total beginner, you can easily start with some light beginner home workout routines, or if you do decide to train in a gym before you look into one on one online coaching, you might be better off scheduling a couple of sessions with a certified personal trainer that can teach you how to execute the basic exercise safely! I always highly recommend that beginners work for at least 3-6 sessions with an in-person fitness coach to master the basic movements, which will help them avoid injuries in the long run. Let's be honest if you have never squatted before and now you watch a video telling you how to squat, you will likely get it all wrong, or perhaps you are not even ready for that movement yet! A good fitness professional will explain, teach and instruct you within 3-4 sessions what is the best way forward!

Think about your schedule.
If you are scheduling online workout classes that have fixed time slots that you can not commit to 2 things will happen:
you will lose money for last-minute cancellations &
you won't get results due to a lack of consistency!
That's why working with a one-on-one online coach with an online coaching program might be better for you, as you can adjust the workouts to fit your busy schedule. Whether you work out in the morning or pm does not matter; getting into the activities regularly matters!
Consider your budget.
In one of my previous blogs, I wrote how getting in the best shape of your life takes a lot of time. Losing 10 kilograms overnight is impossible. Most beginners waste the first few months just building habits and adjusting to the new lifestyle, and only after that start seeing proper results once they get dialed in and regularly follow their online workout programs or in-person sessions with their personal trainers.
So now that we have established that this is a long-term investment, you need to budget for it! What is the point of spending 10 pt sessions when it won't get you anywhere? If you can afford 50-100 personal training sessions, that might bring loads of results and bring you to new fitness levels you never experienced before. Anything less than that is questionable. That's why for people on a budget, I only recommend booking personal training sessions for mastering the technique, improving muscle-mind connection, and nailing down the form in the exercises, which can help you with your online workout program.
Read reviews, testimonials and check for before and after photos.
We all know that nowadays, you can buy reviews and fake testimonials and edit the before and after photos; however, with some due diligence, you can still separate the real quality stuff from all the noise!
See if the online fitness companies or online fitness trainers you are looking to work with have solid Google reviews. See if they have client testimonials and videos of their clients talking about their experiences and results. Check if these are real people, and even do not hesitate to reach out to them directly with a polite message and ask them if they would privately share with you their experience and what objectives they achieved so that you can see if it aligns with your fitness goals!
Suppose you are looking for a body transformation program; an online body transformation expert must have photos of their clients before and after. Why would you honestly pay someone if they do not have anything to show for it?Please do not make a decision purely based on how the online fitness guru looks at himself!

Nutrition Coaching services
We all know that all the fitness programs will only help you if your food is somewhat in order. Each fitness objective requires a different dieting approach. I suggest everyone planning to start their fitness journey opt for one month of nutrition coaching, as that is all you need to gain the skills and build habits that will set you up for life!
You can only do proper strength training and lift heavier if you fuel your body; simultaneously, you can not run a marathon with empty glycogen stores! If your objective is to put on a few kilograms of muscle, you must ensure that you are hitting your target protein and having sufficient carbohydrates! If you want to lose weight, you need to be in a caloric deficit, but having too much of a deficit for too long can impact your metabolism and bring you to a point of diminishing returns fairly quickly. Because of all the above, speaking and learning from someone with the knowledge (degree, certification) and experience is important to help people reach their objectives!
