If money grew on trees, everyone would love to pay a fitness professional to design their exercise program and keep them motivated and accountable. Although money and time are extremely tight for many people, there is a solution for those who want to lose weight and feel better at a fraction of the cost of traditional face-to-face personal training. Introducing Online Health Coaching by LDS Fitness Network!

How it works…

Rather than paying a personal trainer to stand by you and count reps during a 60 minute training session, there is now a more affordable option.  A fitness professional (A.K.A your health coach) meets with you virtually using the power of Skype, phone, or emails to discuss your health goals and objectives. After the initial discussion and medical questionnaire are filled out using the Health & Fitness Provider Network (HFPN) platform, your coach then designs an exercise program that’s tailored to your specific needs. After your exercise program is created, the coach contacts you again at a scheduled time. During this second meeting, the coach explains how to access your exercise and food logging programs where you can view video demonstrations of your exercises and keep track of your caloric intake. You’ll also be able to print off your programs for future use as well. From there on out, your coach will contact you on a weekly basis to give the guidance and education you need to reach your goals and make exercise and nutrition a lifestyle, not just a 12-week program.

What’s the cost?

There are essentially two costs to use online health coaching. First, the cost to use the online tools provided by HFPN and second, the cost to use a health coach to guide and keep you accountable. Here are the prices for both:

HFPN Online Subscription – $9.99 / month or $99 for 1 year

LDSFN Online Health Coaching – $19.99 / week; $39.99 for 1 month or $99.99 for 3 months

There is the option to purchase just the HFPN online subscription, without the health coach if you only want to use the online tools. However, a HFPN online subscription must be purchased in addition to the health coach fee because that is the only way your coach can keep track of your physical activity and caloric intake using the online software.

To give you a sense of how affordable this service is compared to traditional personal training, let’s compare apples to apples and crunch some numbers…

2 different clients want to work with a fitness professional for 3 months:

Client #1 using traditional personal training: Pays $42 per session for 2x a week for 12 weeks.

Grand Total for 3 months = $1,008 or $336 / month

Client #2 using online health coaching: Buys one 3 month coaching package ($99.99) + 3 month HFPN subscription ($30).

Grand Total for 3 months = $129.99 or $43.33 / month

Conclusion: For about the same price as two people going out to dinner, you can finally afford to get control of your health! However, only a limited number of spots will be available, so get moving!
