THE YEAR OF VIRTUAL WORKOUTS Is a Personal Trainer App Worth It?

According to Sensor Tower, health and fitness apps experienced a 45% download increase year-over-year in 2021. If you’re joining the virtual fitness craze, but want to learn from an expert, a personal coaching app might be your best fit — but there are almost too many options! How do you tell whether or not a personal training app is for you? Here’s our brief buying guide. Low Budget, Low Weight Loss Motivation: Team RH App If your goal is to lose weight, and you have no idea where to start, this app just might be your perfect fit. For $82 a year, you can get personal training with an expert fitness coach — that’s right, there’s no charge per session, like most apps. With Team RH, you’re in complete control of how much you want to

move as well as diet limitations. Your coach allows full personalization of your weight-loss journey. The app will calculate your calories, macros, and daily steps for fat loss; your coach will guide you from there. Make It Personal: FlexIt If you want a more personal connection with your workout coach, FlexIt is an excellent virtual, one-on-one training app that lets you exercise live with personal trainers. You can choose from HIIT, boxing, Pilates, barre, and many more. Join challenges, mix and match trainers, and even receive physical therapy, nutrition coaching, meditation and mindfulness, and pre- and post-natal support. Although sessions vary in length (30–60 minutes) and packages, you’ll often spend around $40 per session.

For All Walks of Life: 99 Walks Want to join a group while still taking things at your own pace? All 99 Walks classes are group walking-focused classes where coaches engage individually with members via email, social media, and on the app. For $16 a month, you’ll get access to a constant source of fitness advice, support, and wisdom within their responsive social channels and in-app coaching teams! Although many gyms and workout programs are returning to in-person classes, sometimes, you might want to exercise in the comfort and privacy of your own home. If you’re in that mood, give these a try!

The biggest compliment you can give us is referring friends and family. Thank you for all of your referrals, and keep them coming! We love our clients!

SUCCESS STORY

“They truly know the body, how to assist in the healing process, and how to listen. I recently needed pre-op PT. I went to another local practice because I thought all PT was equal. Within two sessions I realized I was wrong. And with the advice of my nurse, I fired them. Thankfully, I found Focus Physical Therapy. They are a five-star operation. They offer private treatment rooms, highly skilled PTs & PTAs, and above all, they listen. The first place wanted to build the muscles. They did not listen and could not properly access that it wasn’t strength I needed. I needed to relax the muscles after an accident. Focus immediately saw the need to give me relief from the tightness, and they addressed the issue quickly. I could immediately feel the improvement.” –Gina V.
