Convenience
Online training with a streetefit Personal Trainer is convenient for several reasons. Taking out travel time, online training with a Personal Trainer from streetefit can be done in a more efficient manner. Literally, you only need to walk into your lounge room or workout room, set up the computer and your equipment and be ready in a matter of minutes. Most of the time, it’s possible that a streetefit trainer can be flexible with your time and if you’re running late or need to reschedule it is possible to do so without too much difficultly.
Online training is accessible. You need a quiet room, a computer with internet access and your equipment which can be stored in a cupboard.
Online training with a Personal Trainer from streetefit is time saving and cost effective. You save time as there is no travel to the gym or the trainer’s place of work and more cost effective as there are no extra gym fees.
A streetefit online Personal Trainer has the expertise to personalise your workout to meet your specific goals and adapt to any injuries or health concerns you may have.
Customisation
Each client is special and is treated as a person not a number. Therefore at streetefit, we take the time to assess your base fitness with a discussion via Skype where we discuss your specific needs and goals.Using the SMART acronym we design a program specific to you.
S = specific
M = measurable
A = achievable
R = realistic
T = time
The program is then is tailored made with the above details after careful assessment of injuries, goals and health concerns. Each session is taught live and recorded if you choose to so that the trainer can correct technique and motivate you and to see your progress and suggest modifications whilst doing the session.
With regular sessions comes regular assessments of how you are reaching your goals. The goals can be changed as you progress by adding intensity, changing exercises or adding a new challenge.
Flexibility
As mentioned above, a streetefit Personal Trainer can be flexible in scheduling and location – if you live out of the trainer’s location, you can do your session wherever you have room, a computer or phone with internet access. streetefit has several remote clients who find online training the only way they will train as there is no other option available to them where they live.
Your individulised program can be flexible, it’s not a one fits all program. Each session is tailored to fit the individual client and their needs and goals.
A streetefit personal training session is done in real time. In the live sessions the Skype session is not on mute allowing both client and trainer to communicate during the sessions.
Affordability
A streetefit online Personal training session is more cost effective for both the client and the trainer. For the trainer there is no rent or cost of fuel to get to and from the gym. For the client, there is no added gym membership as well as the cost of fuel there and back. With that in mind, the cost of each session is cheaper than if you would go to the gym. You are able to buy multipacks to fit your budget. You can also join a small group fitness class run by streetefit where your goals and individual needs are met through a live class. At the moment, small group fitness classes are up to 5 people, so you get the individual help as the trainer can watch everyone execute the exercise. You will see the trainer doing the exercise with you so that technique is perfected.
Expertise of Knowledge
A streetefit Personal Trainer has undergone extensive training. Many years of courses, experience in the industry and dealing with a multitude of clients with very different needs has given us the tools to assist you and your individual needs. We have learned from the best, we have mentors who we regularly connect with and we always keep learning. Ideas and the mechanics of exercise change rapidly and we are on top of the game.
Edwina’s expertise is well rounded. She has many years’ experience in Pilates, Nutrition and weight training amongst other programs which is given to her clients in specific packages. The training for Strength and Conditioning has come from personal weight training sessions with another trainer/mentor and she has done several cardio based courses where exercises are included in the Strength and conditioning classes. Edwina is a stickler for technique, you will learn how to execute an exercise correctly from the beginning. If you learn correctly, then you reduce the risk of injury. This helps you understand how your body works and what muscles are used. Edwina is very motivating, her motto is “exercise is boring so you have to make it fun, have a laugh, enjoy the time, then you’ll learn to love your body”.
Nutrition that is taught at streetefit is based on the Metabolic Precision program. No meal plans are provided, you make the choice of meals yourself with a very simple formula of what macros to include in your meals. You learn how to eat and train in an efficient manner, you learn how to burn fat, increase muscle mass and keep healthy forever.
Accountability
Online Personal training gives you accountability. You meet with a trainer, you exercise to your goals and you are assisted to get the best out of your session. You can treat your trainer as a “gym buddy” or you can organise to have a two on one session with a friend. You and your friend along with the trainer creates accountability three ways. You will learn that you don’t want to let anyone down. You cut the excuses and get on with the session.
When you are accountable, you will find that you smash your goals because you are consistently training and getting better so you can push yourself that little bit more. Once you do that you will find the hormones kick in and exercise is addictive. You begin to see changes in your body.
Training with a trainer who gives you feedback is essential in achieving your goals. You are guided through the session with care.
Technology and Resources
Online training with streetefit is done via Skype. This is a free app and all group sessions are recorded and are available to the group members for 30 days.
Virtual training is done in your own home where you will have personalised feedback. However, even though you are doing your session at home, you can be part of a community. One of my clients lives in a remote area and she loves the classes as she can speak to the other members of the group before and after class.
With smart watches, you can see your exercise sessions and break down the results. Where you were in fat burning, cardio or peak heart rate zones. You can add the amount of water you drink with some watches, add calories (although I don’t recommend that). You are able to see how many steps you’ve taken for the day. A smart watch can assist in accountability.
streetefit doesn’t use apps but will send clients information via email and videos. If you chose a package with separate weight training sessions then each weight training exercise is videoed by the trainer showing you the correct technique. This is necessary as you can go back to the video and watch how the exercise is executed safely. If followed your risk of injury is minimal.
