If I have a busy schedule, would online coaching work for me?

Online coaching is perfect for people with busy schedules.  There is no travel time required; online appointments are scheduled at a particular time, therefore no waiting room time; follow up appointments may be done by email so information can be read or responded to at a time that suits you.

Online coaching has been shown to be as effective as in-person coaching as the support, motivation and accountability required for successful coaching can be provided virtually.

Virtual training can be an option for you because it works around your busy schedule.  Some of the main reasons that people stop using live personal trainers are that they have too many obligations (family and work) and the cost can be prohibitive.  With virtual coaching, people are now able to access trainers on their own time without the burden of the commute to the gym, time away from their family, and/or other personal commitments.  Research has shown that internet-based programs can be as effective as live personal training sessions with a more efficient and cost-effective delivery method (Steele, 2009). Virtual coaching is becoming widely accepted and can offer options to people who claim they have little time for the gym but who need the support and guidance of a coach.
