4 QUICK FACTS ABOUT ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING
-
Go Outdoors
Most public gym facilities are closed, but if yours is still open, we recommend avoiding it until public health officials say otherwise. Instead, take your fitness into the fresh air outside and opt for activities such as:
- Hiking
- Jogging
- Cycling
- Walking
Have Children? Encourage Outdoor Play
Younger athletes can also benefit from outdoor play, either by themselves or in small groups. Be sure to supervise kids playing in small groups or alone, and discourage the use of sporting equipment or jungle gyms to minimize direct contact with each other and surfaces.
-
Engage in Non-Contact Activities
Limiting physical contact is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of coronavirus - and any other virus. Social distancing guidelines recommend maintaining 6 feet of space between people, and there are many activities that will allow for this, such as tennis or biking.
Other group activities that fall in this category include:
- Running/walking
- Bodyweight workout routines
- Fitness videos
If you are using any equipment, make sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect it before and after use, even if you are the only one using it.
-
Work on Improving Your General Fitness
Having a strong core and aerobic fitness level is key for good fitness. You can work on strengthening your core and cardiovascular condition without compromising the safety of those around you by using:
- An online personal trainer
- Home-based video workouts
- Web-based exercise programs
At our Calgary gym, we want to encourage activity and improve morale throughout our city and country. We are offering online personal training programs, as well as free phone consults to help you maintain your fitness during this time.

Exercise Using Your Body Weight
Using your own body weight with a circuit-type program can be an effective way to maintain strength and aerobic health in a short period of time. Body weight workouts can incorporate a variety of movements that don’t require equipment, including:
- Push-ups
- Yoga
- Lunges
- Squats
- Burpees
Pro Tip: Remember that with any exercise program, you should gradually increase frequency, intensity, and duration to avoid injuries.
-
Stay In Touch With Your Fitness Community Online
Whether you are a competitive athlete, a regular gym-goer, or you’ve just started out, consider staying in touch with your friends and teammates through appropriate social medical channels. You can share your thoughts about the situation and hopes for returning to normal activity as safely and soon as possible.
You could even consider online challenges for steps, stationary bike rides, or even run a virtual race together and compare times.
