How do I choose an online fitness coach?

Pick a coach whose experience matches your goal, ask how they check your form, and start with a single trial session before committing. Live video lets them correct you as you move.

What to look for

Matching experience. Look for a coach who has worked with your goal, such as weight loss, strength or recovery.
Form checking. Ask how they will watch and correct your movement.
A trial session. Try one before paying for a bundle.
Clear communication. You should understand what each exercise is for.

Live video versus a plan in an app

A written plan tells you what to do. A live coach also sees how you do it and can change the session on the spot. Mention any injury or health condition first, and check with a doctor if you are unsure.
