iPod Video Revolutionizes Personal Training Industry in Bucks County

By Kareem F Samhouri, DPT, CSCS, HFI

New horizons have been reached in the personal training industry through the inclusion of the iPod Video and iPhone as new tools for training long-distance clients. Long-distance personal training has been a growing trend for years. For some fitness professionals, this may seem a bit disconcerting, as a portable demonstration of exercise can sometimes be more effective than a single, live demo. With a constantly increasing level of self-awareness and health provisions, it's no wonder that people are finding a solution that reaches further than one can drive.

In fact, some fitness professionals have even managed to create video courses, simulating public speaking environments with Powerpoint format and video voice over in order to offer people an even greater value through their subscription to iPod workouts. It is actually possible now to enjoy many forms of multimedia through an iPod video or an iPhone, not just music.

One example of the "portable personal trainer" that is taking place involves an email delivery service, where you receive a couple of workouts for the week. You can then download the corresponding videos to your iPod, from which you can carry the exercises to the gym. Previously, the large majority of online fitness training stemmed from home workouts and/or e-books. Through the use of video, that is accessible on an iPod, new horizons have been reached and new levels of long-distance fitness coaching are available.

As a fitness professional, it's important to remind readers that you should not hire a personal trainer because of convenience. Instead, it's more important to evaluate them for their skill set and educational background, regardless of price or environment. Remember, this is your body. Be sure to choose wisely when asking someone to help you take care of it.

Technological advances, such as the iPod Video, are causing many fields to improve. For example, portable exercise video has allowed, for the first time, the ability to hear and see exercise at the same time while at the gym. It's important to acknowledge that advances in technology have allowed barriers between long-distance fitness coaches and clients to be broken. - 17269
