Let’s talk about some of the most common reasons people site for not sticking to a consistent exercise program

1.        Lack of time – Sure, this is a common excuse for everyone. We’re all busy and have difficulty making time for physical activity.  With mobile training, you are saving your client the time it normally takes to drive to and from the gym.

2.           Convenience – How more convenient can it be than to deliver your services to your client’s doorstep.  Plus, there’s no dealing with parking, locker rooms, crowds, etc..

3.        Lack of instruction – This one surprised me because most gyms have floor staff.   Then I remembered the education of most floor staff and flashed back to when I served as a floor staff member.  Heck, I was still in high-school and new next to nothing about fitness.  What I did know was what I learned from my high-school PE coach,….say no more!  Again, as a traveling trainer, you are providing the instruction sought by your client.

4.        Family and Work Commitments – This is a tough one because you must work to survive, and who can argue with family time.  Well, what better way to make fitness a family priority than by exercising as a family?  Even the former Surgeon General suggested that families be active together as a way for parents to instill physical activity as a value to their children.  What do we see now.  We see parents encourage their kids to get outside and be active, then they sit on the couch and watch Oprah!  Mobile training is already saving people time and making fitness convenient – but it can also provide a great opportunity for families to be active together. 

5.           Inaccessibility – Here’s proof that people think that physical activity is synonymous with a gym if they are citing inaccessibility as an adherence issue.  Inaccessible to what??  One of the jobs of mobile training is to show your client how to be active anywhere they are regardless of the available equipment.    

6.        Cost – Sure, there is definitely a cost to personal training.  The benefit of mobile training is that your client doesn’t also have to pay a membership fee in addition to the training like they would have to do at the gym.  

7.           Weather – With mobile training, you can train anywhere!  If it’s cold outside, you can train in the house.  If you want to train outdoors, go outdoors.  If you want to train at the beach or in a park, no problem!
