Online coaching is a sensitive game.
The first 3-4 weeks are critical to push clients into a regular schedule and make a habit of training. They need to learn the names of exercises. Both the coach and trainee need to figure out if they learn better by seeing someone do it and follow along. Or verbal cues produce better outcomes. There’s a lot to get right.
We start with an assessment to get a basic sense of client expectations and to get a sense of how they move.
We follow it up with one-on-ones to coach clients on how to perform basic exercises effectively and tailor it to their strength levels.
We take 2-3 sessions outside of the group classes to get this done. After the one-on-ones, we move clients into the group classes.
The timings of these sessions are listed below. The key to our online service is to help clients pick the right exercises based on their strength levels. And also pick a variety of patterns to ensure every major joint and muscle group in the body gets healthy and challenging dose of movement. Clients aim to train for between 4-6 sessions a week with us online.
