Why Online Trainers are Great for Beginners


| Sarah Sponaugle |

virtual online training from DrivenFit

Time, money, and convenience…all are barriers we come across when it comes to committing to exercise, especially if you’re new to the game. Add total confusion on how to get started, and it’s never going to happen! We get it. We get it so much that we have made it easy to break through these workout barriers by creating a comprehensive online training program customized to meet your specific needs…at home or wherever you’re traveling to. Here’s why you’re gonna love it…

You don’t have to think. Trying to figure out an effective workout plan on your own can be overwhelming, which is why it’s best left to the professionals. At Driven Fit + Sponaugle, your online trainer will create a customized program based on your needs and goals. From warm-up to cool-down, you’ll know exactly what movements to do, how many times to do them, and how much weight to use.

You don’t have to go to the gym. Walking into a gym can be intimidating for anyone new to fitness. In fact, it can be the number one reason why someone doesn’t get started! With virtual training, you can work out at home, in a hotel, or anywhere you are in the world. Bonus…you don’t have to worry about what you’re wearing.

You don’t have to break the bank. Pinching pennies? Who isn’t? Online training programs offer a more affordable option compared to the average in-gym personal trainer. Plus, you still benefit from real-time interaction with trainers, including form and technique analysis, accountability, and reviews on progress. At Driven Fit + Sponaugle, we offer a free 50-minute session just to make sure you want to make the investment.

You don’t have to do a one-size-fits-all workout. All online training programs are tailored around your specific goals and workout experience. Are you trying to lose weight? Do you want to add muscle and get toned? Is there an injury that keeps you from doing a specific exercise? These are all variables that are considered when creating a customized online workout plan.

You don’t have to do it alone. Need motivation? You got it. When you invest in an online personal trainer at Driven Fit + Sponaugle, you have to be accountable for regular check-ins and progress reviews. We’re not mean, but we’re not going to let you off easy.

You don’t have to worry about a schedule. Time constraints are another huge barrier, so let’s just take that out of the equation. With an online training program, you exercise on your own time and wherever you want. Want to work out at 6 am? Go for it. Need to squeeze in a 30-minute session at lunch? No problem.

You don’t need a ton of equipment. Many people think that a ton of fitness equipment is required to have an effective online training program. False! If you do have weights available, great. If you don’t, that is fine too. We will cater to whatever equipment you have available even if it’s just yourself and a yoga mat.
