Online Training: Personalized Accountability for You

August 20, 2013 by sumi Leave a Comment

Although everything these days seems to be online or mobile, plenty of people (including the typical gym member), are unaware that they can be coached OUTSIDE the gym as well, from the privacy of their own home and online.

Online training provides an extra push anywhere you are, additional guidance, and accountability to your trainer. All you need is the desire for change and results, basic knowledge of a gym setting and exercises, and a computer! If you’re the type of person who enjoys working with a trainer one-on-one, but can’t afford it, or find it hard to make it work with your schedule, or just want more guidance to complement your current training, online training might be for you.

Here’s what online training can look like:

Here’s what a couple of my online clients have had to say about it:

One for the guys:

“I highly recommend Sumi as an online trainer. I originally worked with Sumi in person, but her move to Austin made that no longer feasible. She suggested an online training arrangement and I agreed to try it. I have achieved results even better than when I trained with her in person- primarily because:

– Increased flexibility. I no longer have to worry about scheduling a time that is mutually agreeable with my trainer

– Affordability. I can get the same level of customized training for a more affordable price

– Accessibility. I actually communicate with Sumi more as an online client, as it is easier to email a quick question than wait until the next training session if I have a question.

Of course, the primary reason the training works is because of Sumi’s dedication as a trainer. Her follow-up is exceptional and she combines expert knowledge of weight training, cardio training and nutrition to provide a customized program that has helped me achieve my goals.”- Chris Morris

And one for the ladies:
” A lot of people think that you don’t need an online coach or trainer, that you can just go to Google and search out a few good diets and workouts and head out on your own.  Well, if it were truly that simple, you would already be at your ideal body weight and so would the rest of the world struggling to meet their fitness goals.  I use an online coach and trainer to keep me on track.

My check-ins with Sumi ensure that I am held accountable for my actions and she can evaluate the work that I have done and offer any feedback or tweaks to the program as necessary. If I have hit a plateau, I can count on my coach to provide recommendations.  If I exceeded my fitness goals for that week, it’s an amazing feeling to have someone there cheering for me.

When choosing an online coach and trainer, you need to find one that isn’t just providing you a generic routine and diet, but rather someone can truly evaluate your goals and provide you with a program that fits who you are. Otherwise, what you have is just someone doing the “Googling” for you.
Think of an online trainer as your best friend who is cheering you on so that you’ll meet your goals.The only difference is, this friend is armed with the knowledge and know-how to share with you so that you end up crossing your fitness finish line.” -Michelle Jenkins

As your coach, know that I will be with you every step of the way towards your fitness goals, offering the push, advice, and motivation you need to succeed. If anything needs to be tweaked, changed, or modified, we can make it work to fit YOU.

It begins by filling out a simple questionnaire to help me better understand your goals. I put together an entire program (e.g., for fat loss, muscle building, photo shoot prep, strength gains), will tell you what exercises to do, and for how many reps and sets to do them for, and how much cardiovascular activity to include. I will also provide you with sound nutrition guidance to help you make better choices to fuel your workouts. Every week, you have a scheduled check in so we can trouble shoot along the way.

Your training will be planned around your schedule. I will design the entire program from start to finish; all YOU have to do is carry out your plan.  You are not in this alone. If you’re looking for that extra push to take it to the next level for you, please contact me for online coaching at sumi@shailafitness.com

Abuela Gets Hot

March 5, 2013 by sumi Leave a Comment

So before anyone scrolls any further down, I got to warn you this girl is hot, hot, HOT!  She’s an online client of mine, a super dedicated trainee, and get this- she’s an abuela (Spanish for grandmother). I’m pretty sure there are 20 year olds that would like to look like her NOW. Although her before and after pictures speak a thousand words, I wanted to conduct an interview to get her perspective on the 8 week journey. Her answers are short (with English being her second language) but she gets the point across.

Q: What made you decide to hire an online coach? What’s makes it different from training on your own?

A: The huge knowledge of Sumi. By my own is like going to the gym blind and lost.
