Online Personal Training
Online Personal Training
Over the first couple years of AskTheTrainer.com I have got numerous requests for various combinations of workout programs and online personal training. Unfortunately I’m so busy with developing the site, answering questions and my tourism and photography sites there is just no way I could devote the necessary time for online clients.
Best Online Personal Trainer System
Lucky for me and anyone looking for an online personal trainer I have developed a great way to refer people looking for online trainers to a personal trainer that specializes in their goals.
I have created an Online Personal Training sub-site to accompany the AskTheTrainer.com information site. OnlineTraining.AskTheTrainer.com allows users to click an, activity, sport or group specific fitness goal which brings them to a list of trainers who specialize in helping people achieve those specific goals.
The online personal trainers must have certifications, education and/or experience in the specialty they are listed for. I verify every trainer’s certification and degrees and display them on the page to show that AskTheTrainer.com is dedicated to providing only the best gimmick free information, products and services.
First 4 Trainers On board
The first 4 trainers who have signed up are all certified by the major certification organizations and all 4 also have a 4 year college degree to accompany their certifications. The first trainer Dan Tatro, NSCA-CPT is a personal trainer training clients out of Orange County California. He is also a US Army veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq who wrote the very popular Army Fitness Workouts article
The second trainer Jason Spencer, ACSM-CPT, CSCS is an ex college football player who trains clients in Manhattan New York and carries two of the very best certifications out there. Jason has already contributed to the site by writing a few articles and answering dozens of visitor’s questions which are all viewable from his page JasonSpencer.AskTheTrainer.com.
The 3rd trainer Matt Hines has an exercise science degree from ECU as well as the ACSM-HFS certification (Health & Fitness Specialist) which enables him to train in clinical settings. He currently trains clients in the wellness center of a North Carolina Hospital. MattHines.AskTheTrainer.com is currently being finished up.
The 4th Trainer signed up is Julian Brown, ACE-CPT who trains out of the Phoenix area. Julian is a former collegiate baseball player. Even though Julian received his 4-year Bachelor of Science degree in business Julian is a career personal trainer with an burning passion for health and fitness. JulianBrown.AskTheTrainer.com is currently being finished up.
Free Pages for the First 10 Online Personal Trainers
I will only create 6 more pages on a first come, first serve basis for free. I have enjoyed creating sites for the first few trainers but I know once the online personal training service takes off there is going to be way too many trainers to keep up with so I’m going to have to eventually charge for the service.
I will eventually charge a set fee to set up the subsite which does a great job of getting any trainer exposure on major search engines I might add. In addition to the set up fee I will charge per placement on various specialties putting a system in place which determines which trainers can be listed in which categories.
It’s not final yet but it will be something like each degree equals 4 specialties and each certification equals another specialty including specific certifications such as Olympic weight lifting or kettlebells. Proof of specific experience will also count for an icon on the trainer’s listings.
Independent Online Personal Trainers
I’ve created the AskTheTrainer.com online personal training system with a model similar to that of independent personal trainers. Like independent personal trainers all the trainers who take part in online training can train people how they like, offering whatever programs they like and charging whatever rates they want. This allows personal trainers to use methods of training (teaching) which they deem most effective based on their style and availability.
Most online personal training sites I know would be analogous to gym personal trainers. Most gym personal trainers are slaves to a system which they always don’t agree with. Like gym trainers, most online personal training sites determine rates for the trainers and create generic cookie cutter webpages. I do everything by hand to put the “personal” back into online personal training.
