Industries are evolving every day. They are learning how to take advantage of the social aspect of the internet, making it more affordable to their clients by reaching more people. But one industry that been lagging behind in that aspect: personal training.
Personal training has historically been an in-person one on one approach to helping people reach their health and fitness goals. However, obtaining the professional expertise of a personal trainer, registered dietitian, or nutritionist can often be costly. So, how do health and fitness professionals lower their cost without being undervalued? Simple: Reach more people through virtual online personal training.
Chris Johnson, a personal trainer and coach from the Boston area who trains people through his site improvewithchris.com, first thought of virtual personal training when his clients were demanding more time but his schedule was full. He said, “I’m busy as a personal trainer and collegiate strength and conditioning coordinator, yet I want to help more people. There just isn’t enough time in the day. That’s when I came up with FitZos.com to design, track, and motivate more clients. This way my clients might not be able to meet with me in person, but at least they are getting the accountability and professional guidance they are asking for.”
FitZos.com is not just a social network or workout generator (although it does have both features). Chris Johnson M.S. | NSCA-CSCS | NASM-PES & CES | ISSA-SET | USATF | RRCA, who is also a sponsored runner participating in numerous events including the Boston marathon, takes the time to design these workouts himself with specific goals in mind. “You pick the workout based on your goals, then the workout progresses you forward.”
Coach Johnson also noticed the boom with social media so, FitZos.com is a fully capable social network as well. “What’s better than seeing you reach a life changing transformation? Sharing it with all of your friends and challenging each other along the way, that’s what! Fitness can be fun on your own, but it’s a whole new experience when you share it with others.”
FitZos.com Virtual Personal Trainer’s most notable features are perhaps it accountability factor. Your daily plan is laid out for you and if your friends see you didn’t accumulate any rewards points for the day because you didn’t follow it, you are more likely to follow through with your workout and diet. You and your friends can also create groups for events such as ski or snowboarding trips, running clubs, or Saturday morning power lift.
Also, your nutrition scorecard and activity log keep track of your progress for you. If your weight, strength, or endurance is going in the wrong direction you know it’s time to step up your efforts.

During Chris’s time as a personal trainer and coach, he has learned that “if people are given professionally made workouts and diet plans designed to meet their goals and advance them both safely and efficiently, they will enjoy their time working out much more.
