Straight answer

Is Online Personal Training Worth It?

Yes: online personal training is worth it if you want a plan made for you and someone to check your progress every week, for about £18 a week instead of £40 to £60 for one gym session.

And if it is not right for you, the 14-day money-back guarantee means you lose nothing by trying.

It is worth it if…

You start strong, then stop
The weekly check-in is built for this. Someone notices, and your plan changes before you give up.
You don’t know what to do
Every exercise, set and rep is written for you, with simple instructions.
You are short on time
Workouts of 30 to 40 minutes, at home or in the gym, planned around your week.
Diets have not worked for you
A nutrition plan built on food you like, so you can keep eating that way.

It is not right for you if…

We would rather tell you now. Online coaching is not the best fit if:

You want someone beside you for every single rep
You need medical supervision to exercise, for example after surgery or for a heart condition
You will not send a check-in each week, because the check-in is where the coaching happens

If none of those is you, online personal training is one of the best-value ways to get fit, lose weight and get strong.

The maths

One session with a personal trainer in a UK gym costs about £40 to £60. Our Coached plan costs £79 a month, about £18 a week, and your first month is £39.

For that you get a training plan, a nutrition plan, a check-in every week and messages with your coach any time. If you would rather pay once, the 12-Week Kickstart is £199 for 12 weeks.
