Familiarize yourself with online training

Keep in touch with your customers
Never leave out the customers you already had, whether they were in person or online. If your training center has closed due to obligation, you have to find ways to keep customers active. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you neglect them and the abandonment rate is high. Keep in touch with them every day, think that this is a difficult period and they need more motivation than ever, both physically and emotionally. This is a good time to strengthen ties with them and make them see that distance should not stop you through online training and advice.
Work out some workouts to do at home
Think first about what materials people usually have in their homes, so as not to continue doing the routines you used to do before, mainly because people don't usually have items to train at home, in fact, some don't even have rubber bands. You are a personal trainer, so adapt to the situation by planning workouts with everyday objects such as water bottles, backpacks with books, exercises in the living room, etc.
Use video calls for follow-up or training
Keep customers seeing you, even if it's through a screen. Using a video call for personal training can help you to correct the client live and directly while motivating them to execute the plan you have prepared for them. On the other hand, it is the most effective way to follow up on the plans and to be able to talk about progress and progress.
Set challenges to do at home
Finally, we recommend that you don't be static. In addition to making plans to do at home, it is good to include commitment actions that pose daily challenges for your clients through training challenges at home. This can also serve as a window and exposure for them to publish their challenges on social networks, sharing them with others and thus giving you visibility as a professional.
