In today's episode of the podcast, we share all the information you need to know to find a solid online workout program and what red flags to look for when you're about to purchase one (or even get a free one). If you want to buy your favorite influencers program, take a pause and consider the following questions: Is there an overarching goal? What are you trying to accomplish? We discuss why effective online programs need to have specific targets, include rest periods, and incorporate progressive overload with a plan for progression. Then, we go over why it's essential to research the program provider's qualifications, understand the overarching goal of the program, read reviews, and check for additional support like FAQs, community aspects, or follow-up options. Online programs are a great choice for a tight budget, but are not ideal compared to fitness coaching or personal training. By the end of this episode, you'll have key takeaways for selecting the best online program for you. STRONGER is our 12 week online strength training and mobility program that has gotten a lot of positive feedback from our clients.
