Online personal training for weight loss can be a powerful tool to help you achieve your fitness goals. Statistics show that individuals who follow a customised plan, tailored to their lifestyle, are more likely to stick to it for the long haul. 

Weight loss can be a complex journey that requires consistency and an energy deficit over an extended period. An online personal training service, tailored for weight loss, should be designed to create accountability around the essential elements. 

• Movement and strength training

• Calorie intake and food management

• Based on achieving a caloric deficit over time.

Common weight loss struggles

Despite the apparent simplicity of weight loss, we understand that many people struggle with it for several reasons. 

• The prevalence of pseudoscience on social media often confuses people and promotes weight loss products that don't work. 

• Work-life balance creating stress meaning poor food choices and a lack of energy

• Ineffective training routines, and poorly designed nutritional diets

• Unrealistic expectations for the level of input

• Lack of knowledge on where to start 

• Excessively restrictive plans

We commonly see a snowball effect with people's weight gain, where they put the weight on for whatever reason, then give up trying to lose the weight due to a lack of hope. But that desire to get back into shape & improve their health is always there, it just gets buried under the lack of progress. 

Crash diets can provide rapid weight loss results, but people often put the weight back on plus more. This leads to a yo-yo effect of dieting and weight gain which is caused by the unsustainable nature of crashing your diet. That’s where a really good online personal trainer can help you solve these common issues and provide the stability your nutrition needs.

How an online coach can help you lose weight

Every coach is different in their approach but the fundamentals should still be there for a quality, result-driven programme. We’ll use More Than Muscle as an example. 

Our service starts with a bespoke 30-minute video call. This allows us to establish your weight loss goals, health status, and realistic time frames to achieve the result.

The consultation call allows us to do two things:

1. Manage expectations

Often we hear of people being promised highly unrealistic results in a very short timeframe. This not only affects your perception of training, but also psychologically it can cause you to disengage from future fitness goals. Secondly, as a personal trainer and online coach, we are driven by getting our clients the best results. To do this we offer a premium service that includes educating our clients on everything we do. That’s what creates the long-term sustainability of your results. Not a generic 90-day programme.

2. Diagnose & create a tailored pathway 

We use the information we gather from our call to create a super specific weight loss program. It includes the right training and nutritional guidance, tailored to your unique needs. All of this is available to you 24/7 in the palm of your hand. Check out this post here for some nutritious meal ideas on-the-go.

Our coaches are highly skilled in this area and understand both the physical and psychological aspects of coaching and training someone through a weight loss program. They have all experienced their own challenges when training, so they are well-equipped to understand where clients may be coming from.

Sustainable Weight Loss Support

An online coach gives you the resources & support to not only achieve your weight loss target, but sustain it long-term. The focus is on creating sustainable lifestyle behaviours that seamlessly support your weight loss goals to prevent the yo-yo effect. 

We have worked with a diverse range of clients, from busy executives & city workers to busy mums. Tailoring our approach to your unique situation is the key to unlocking results. The benefits of working with an online coach means you are empowered to build that lifestyle you want, with the flexibility you need and the guidance to keep you on track.

For example, our training app allows us to track important metrics, communicate with you, and offer training videos and demonstrations, so you have our support every step of the way. Wherever you are in the world.

Flexibility of Online Personal Training

If you travel frequently, finding the opportunity to get to a physical gym for a 1-1 might be incredibly difficult. In that case, an online coach can tailor the program to the gym environment you’re in at the time. 

The same applies if you use a specific gym or have a home gym setup. 

Whatever your situation, a good online coach will set up your programme bespoke to you. Weight loss is a sum of output being greater than input. By managing & processing the variables around your life, we can make sure this happens as seamlessly as possible.

What gets measured, gets managed!

An online personal training service designed for weight loss is an excellent investment in your health and well-being.

• You can build sustainable habits to reach your desired weight/shape/outcome and have the resources to hold on to your results and even improve them if you wish to.

• You can say goodbye to yo-yo diets and expensive weight loss products once and for all.

With the expertise and support of an online fitness coach/personal trainer, you can achieve your weight loss goals and enjoy the benefits of a healthier, happier you.
