Home fitness and online trainer
The market of home fitness or even home fitness represents an expanding market and has led many personal trainers, instructors and teachers of fitness or various motor disciplines to specialize and orient themselves towards teaching on virtual platforms. Very often those who had one or a trusted teacher decided to follow him / her in his virtual path and this required patience, adjustments and new forms of interaction. But what if our trusted trainer doesn’t feel like it or doesn’t share the concept of online lessons? Or how to choose if you want to start from the beginning a take lessons online, how to find your way around the many offers?
Sometimes sponsorships and the hype don’t necessarily mean value and immediate trust. Of course, those who have the power to make themselves known perhaps start from an important customer package base, but things are not always this way. Must follow your intuition and agree on some basic conditions related to what you are looking for in a trainer. Not necessarily a good live trainer turns out to be such even online. And not always those who throw themselves on the online have technical skills adequate. This is why it becomes very important to know how to choose.
Good online trainer: 6 clues
Let’s see together six clues that make you understand that you are facing a reliable and competent person.
Structure a program together on concrete objectives
The fact that the lessons are online does not mean that the training program should be casual or unorganized (unfortunately for many online trainers this is the way it is). A good or good online trainer takes you by the hand and structures one with you precise and organized roadmap on the basis of the actual time that you agree together in relation to the free time that allows you to dedicate yourself to the moment of training.
Look at the screen and correct you
Be wary of all those online trainers who take teaching on a virtual platform as a way to show themselves and who often look at the screen but do not observe in detail the way you perform the movements. Trust who instead shows you the technical execution and, once the exercise is shown, it also observes you in detail and corrects you in the best possible way also according to your physical structure. Observing also means seeing when the person’s body becomes fatigued, even though these are online lessons, and being able to change as you train.
He listens to you and motivates you
Training also means asking. Ask the person how they are doing, how they are doing, how they perceive the changes that occur in the body, how they progress between one workout and another. Listening to a trainer remains a key key and motivating means being able to push the person to better version of herself. This often reveals an important talent of the trainer, as motivating online can be difficult.
Adjust the schedule according to your evolutions
A trainer remains a flexible person, who observes and performs as the flow goes on and progress is made. The program it proposes has its own structure but varies according to how it changes physical and psychological reaction to the proposed exercises. Having a pupil means having clay to be modeled in your hands, something that gradually takes the harmonic shape. Ready to question his predictions and plans, the expert knows how to adapt and change when needed.
It starts from your real motor experience
If you start a path and the trainer does not ask you the right questions about your motor experience, it is not the right person and we advise you to change immediately. The construction of the program must be done on the basis of who you really are, your current strengths and past injuries. You must do it specific questions on your physical state, on any acute or chronic pain. Be very strict on this aspect. Since the training is done at a distance, it becomes even more important to have someone who knows a lot about the current physical conditions given by previous events.
Punctual and organized / a
Time matters a lot and you need to make sure you find a trainer who is punctual and well organized. He must send the recordings if he offers the option and he must be able notify you of any changes in time, in case of technical or personal problems. Of course, if you run into network problems outside of your control domain, that’s out of your responsibility, but it needs to give you the feeling that you can proactively deal with it.
What not to expect from your online trainer
The online trainer does not have among his tasks that of solving yours Technical Problems which concern your connection, your device and your ability to use the platform that is used to carry out the lessons. It does not fall within his duties to understand if you do not communicate in time changes related to technological aspects that prevent you from teaching and he is not responsible for responding to your messages. at all times of the day in which you do not teach.
He has a duty to remain available but remember that, like you, he certainly follows other customers and it is not fair to imagine that he is available 24 hours a day. communications and try to help him / her do his job by maintaining a clean and functional connection.
