Recently, I’ve gotten several questions about what online training is, and what Take Charge Fitness is all about more specifically.  Questions have included:
  • “Is it just an app?” (Nope)
  • “Who writes the training programs?” (Yours truly)
  • “So, there’s videos?” (Yep)
  • “Will I get the same level of expertise and support I’d get from an in-person trainer”? (Absolutely)
  • “Is this a franchise, or your own business?” (Own business, unless there’s something I’m not aware of!)
All kidding aside, these are all great questions and I’ve gotten several others.  The best way to answer as many as I can is to describe what online training is as simply as possible and then explain some of the pros and cons versus in-person training.  I’ve also included thoughts about the type of person that may benefit the most from online training.  So, if you’re curious, read on!​
