Today’s episode of the podcast is on the differences between fitness coaches and personal trainers: their roles, costs, and benefits. Our definition of a fitness coach is someone who is offering their services online. We go over what fitness coaching looks like for an individual and explain why fitness coaching is a more affordable option than personal training. Fitness coaches provide accountability, although workouts are done independently, often with remote support. Personal trainers focus on in-person sessions (think local), provide real-time feedback, form correction, and immediate adjustments. The cost of personal training varies depending on the trainer's experience and the gym setting, with sessions often priced per hour. Personal trainers are ideal for people who need scheduled workouts, hands-on guidance, and direct accountability. We discuss our thoughts on how to choose between the two based on your needs and your fitness goals.
