Wilmslow, United Kingdom - The global pandemic has disrupted most people's schedules and lives. Gym closures have resulted in individuals seeking alternative ways to stay fit. The solution that has gained the most popularity is online workout programs. However, are they effective? Our expert trainers weigh in.

"The ongoing pandemic situation has changed the way people approach fitness. Lockdowns and self-quarantine measures to keep people safe have resulted in many having to stay indoors. Therefore people turned to online workout programs on video sharing sites and applications to stay fit and healthy." explains a physical trainer.

It is widely accepted that more people—even those who have never worked out before in their lives—have started engaging in fitness routines due to how easy it is to access these programs.

An Alchemy personal trainer shares, "They are a great way to introduce someone to workout programs. They are flexible and can be incorporated into schedules at any time of the day. The effect of this can be far-reaching as a person can become interested and will pursue being fit and healthy seriously."

However, it is not without its downside.

An expert shares, "One thing a person needs to remember is that there is no one size fits all approach to fitness. Different people have different body types and capabilities. Some can have illnesses or pains. All of this needs to be taken into consideration in a workout routine. Unfortunately, online videos and applications cannot do that as they are fixed and impossible to customize."

"In contrast, a physical trainer will assess a person and give them a workout routine that suits their physical health. Therefore, an individual will benefit from the training in the long term and not face any adverse health complications. Moreover, they will provide tailored advice and guidance regarding other facets of fitness, such as meals and behaviour patterns." he added.

Online workout programs are a sufficient alternative if one cannot go to a fitness centre. However, if circumstances change, they can make the journey to visit a personal trainer. In that case, they should do so because everyone is different, and for the most effective results, fitness routines should be customized according to individual needs.

Alchemy Personal Training allows clients to work with trainers who will provide professional advice and customized plans to lose weight and become fit in an effective way.
