What is it like to work with an online personal trainer?

If you are looking for an online personal trainer in the UK, you want a plan that fits your week and someone who notices when it stops working. Here is exactly how it works with me.

How it works

  1. Apply. It takes about a minute. Tell me your goals, experience and the coaching you are interested in.
  2. We talk. I read every application myself, then we agree the right service, fees and support before you start.
  3. Your plan. I build your training and nutrition around your goals, your schedule and the equipment you have.
  4. Weekly check-ins. Every week we review your progress on WhatsApp and I adjust the plan. Send me videos of your lifts for technique feedback.

What you get for £200 a month

  • A personalised training plan
  • Calorie and macronutrient targets, with sample meal plans
  • Nutrition and supplementation guidance
  • Weekly WhatsApp check-ins and programme adjustments
  • Technique feedback and progress tracking
  • WhatsApp support between check-ins

Available in the UK and worldwide.

Is it right for you?

  • You are happy to train on your own, following the plan.
  • You will share honest updates, even on weeks that did not go to plan.
  • You do not need to be experienced. Just tell me where you are starting.
  • If you would rather have me beside you, personal training in Rainham may suit you better.
