Can Online Personal Training Deliver the Same Results as a PT?
Join our 8 week spring challenge- starts 10th March 2025
When it comes to getting fitter, stronger, and healthier, many people assume that working with a personal trainer in the gym is the only way to see real results. But in today’s digital world, online personal training is proving to be an incredibly effective—and more flexible—alternative.
At Mari Carmen Fitness, we understand that busy mums juggle family, work, and personal responsibilities, making it difficult to commit to fixed in-person training sessions. That’s why our online coaching program is designed to provide expert guidance, accountability, and personalised support—without the limitations of a traditional gym setting.
1. Expert Support at Half the Cost
Hiring an in-person personal trainer can be expensive, often costing £45-£70 per session. If you’re training 2-3 times a week, that adds up quickly.
Online personal training offers a more affordable solution while still providing access to an expert coach. Instead of paying for just one hour of attention per session, you get ongoing support, tailored workout plans, and personalised nutrition guidance—all at a lower price.
2. Around-the-Clock Accountability vs. One Hour a Week
Traditional PTs typically train you for one hour per week, leaving you to stay on track for the remaining six days on your own. With an online PT, accountability is constant. Your coach checks in regularly, tracks your progress, and adjusts your plan when needed.
Many online coaching programs include:
Weekly check-ins via messages or video calls
Real-time feedback on workouts and nutrition
Daily support to keep you motivated
This means you’re never left feeling lost between sessions and always have guidance when you need it.
3. Support at the End of the Phone
With online coaching, you have direct access to our coaches via messaging apps, email, or scheduled calls. Got a question about your workout? Need advice on what to eat? Your coach is just a message away, rather than having to wait until your next in-person session.
This level of accessibility is a game-changer for busy mums who need quick, practical solutions that fit into their daily routines.
4. Personalised Nutrition and Exercise Plans
Unlike one-off PT sessions that focus only on workouts, online personal training includes a comprehensive approach to your health.
At Mari Carmen Fitness, our online coaching includes:
Customised workouts designed around your schedule, goals, and available equipment
Nutrition guidance tailored to your dietary preferences and lifestyle
Habit-building strategies to ensure long-term success
It’s not just about training hard for an hour—it’s about creating a sustainable lifestyle that works for you.
5. Flexible and Convenient for Busy Mums
One of the biggest struggles for mums is finding time to train. Between school runs, work, and household responsibilities, getting to the gym for a scheduled PT session can feel impossible.
Online coaching removes these barriers. You can:
Train whenever it suits you—whether that’s early morning, during nap time, or after bedtime
Work out at home, at the gym, or anywhere you prefer
Have your plan adapted to your daily routine, so fitness fits into your life rather than disrupting it
Final Thoughts: Is Online Coaching Right for You?
If you’re looking for expert guidance, accountability, and a plan that works around your lifestyle—without the high price tag—online coaching could be the perfect solution. With support at your fingertips, flexible scheduling, and a more holistic approach to fitness, busy mums can achieve incredible results without the need for traditional in-person PT sessions.
