Personal trainers are defined by the American College of Sports Medicine as being fitness professionals who are involved in developing and implementing individualized exercise programs to generally healthy individuals, or to those who have received medical clearance to exercise.  Sessions are performed one-on-one, usually in a gym or studio setting although some personal trainers make home visits. Sessions can be expensive; a personal training session can range from $45 to $150 or more.

Our PT for Health program makes these personalized fitness training services more widely available and at a lower cost to you, via online personal training.  Whether you are across the street, across the country, or on the other side of the world, our certified personal trainers and exercise specialists can design a PT for Health online personal training program customized for you, with the goal of reducing your health risks while enhancing body composition, increasing strength and endurance, and improving balance, speed, power or flexibility.  Oversight by our medical director – a M.D. physician who is also a certified personal trainer and certified fitness nutrition coach – makes sure that your online fitness program stays safe and focuses on reducing your health risks, so that you can stay healthy for years to come.

With our PT for Health program, you’ll have the benefit of a personal training program designed by physicians and exercise experts – but you’ll maintain complete control over the pace.  While “regular” personal trainers can sometimes be confrontational when trying to “inspire” you to push yourself in your program, our PT for Health program lets you work with the best of the best – while still letting you be the boss.

• An initial 30-minute consultation with your assigned online personal trainer and health coach;
• Design of your customized six-week PT for Health™ program;
• Unlimited e-mail support from your assigned online personal trainer and health coach during our center’s open hours; and

How does the PT for Health online personal training work?
With our PT for Health program, our certified personal trainers and exercise specialists create a personalized online fitness program for you.  We begin with an in-depth analysis of your health risks.  We will also have you complete several questionnaires, giving us information on your current fitness status based on your own measurements and/or information from your physician.  We then design your online exercise program, structured to your realistic goals and using equipment at your own gym or at home.  The program spans six weeks, and is performed from five to seven days per week depending on your level of fitness.

Once your program is designed, you’ll receive the first week of your personal training program via e-mail, along with specific instructions (with photos) on how to perform your exercises.  Your initial 30-minute health coaching session with your online personal trainer will give you an opportunity to review and discuss any health risks that have been identified, help you focus on your health and wellness goals, and answer any questions you may have.

Then, you’ll be ready to perform your personalized online fitness program at your own gym or even in the comfort and privacy of your own home, using your own equipment or our PT for Health Home Gym package.

What happens if I need some help with my online personal training program?
Unlimited e-mail support is available from our staff of personal trainers, wellness coordinators, and physicians during our center’s open hours.  Rest assured that if you have a question, we will be there for you when you need us.  Your health coach / personal trainer will also discussing any problems you may have encountered along the way, and make adjustments to your program as needed in order to keep you moving forward.

Once enrolled in your online fitness training program, you’ll also have access to our members-only page [coming soon], which includes video clips of our physicians and staff performing the exercises.  This way, if you ever forget how to do a particular exercise correctly, you can just log on and view the clip to see how it is done.
