Quick question, but are online fitness trainers really a thing?

Yes they are and they are much more convenient than in person trainers in my opinion. Who has the money to pay for a in person trainer anyhow? 30-50 dollars an hour 4-5 days a week? When you could hire an online trainer and nutrition coach. For a certain amount of period for a flat rate say 8 weeks is about $200 and this comes with a custom workout program for you and if they are professional they'll have a website which has a large data base that shows you how each exercise should be performed on top of that they will be your nutrition coach for the 8 weeks, creating your custom meal plan based on your goals which is either weight lost (either for competition, or you're over weight) or muscle gain. The client will keep the trainer updated by sending pictures and the trainer will adjust your diet according to how you look. You will learn how to track macros (carbs, fats, and protein) and learn how to eat properly. This is a very good if you ask me. This allows you to be in control and learn how things work, but chances are you'll need longer than 8 weeks to reach your fitness goals. All of this can be accomplished by the trainer sitting behind his or her computer and they can have 100's of clients across the globe. You just have to know how to market yourself (socail meadia... getting a sponsor wouldn't hurt either), but the biggest thing is you need to look the part, establish credibility which means you need to look good. My plan is to start up my youtube channel once I save enough to buy this damn DSLR camera and all the goodies I need for it, create training videos and what not.

This indiviual was coached through a online trainer (Chris Jones) http://beastmodejonescoaching.com/ click the link and check out how things work. I dislike the layout for his website with a passion, but I look up to him. He came from a far now through social media marketing (instagram and youtube) he's driving a BMW and living lavish (xD).
He even has a proffessional website ( http://www.pumpchasersclothing.com/ ) being set up for a new clothing line he will be launching. This man is pure motivation. My goals is to do basically everything he is currently doing, but I also want to compete, Men's Physique or Muscle Model incase you're wondering.

Think about it, there are many things out there that people can do by themselves, but choose not to simply because they are lazy and want someone else to do it.

Another thing is people think it's all about the training, but they are completely wrong. Yes, your body will react to doing exercise and you will see some results because you are not used to it, but that will soon stop if you do not get your nutrition on point. Yea, anyone can learn how to do some sit-ups, but do they know how to properly diet? plus some people just don't have enough time in their lives to dedicate themselves to something like that.

I mean it's the same way with relationships. Getting married is redundant when you can masturbate to achieve an orgasm and buy a dog if you need companionship, so why get a girlfriend?

Probably because even though you don't really need a girlfriend, she's still fun to have around anyway. Besides, if you've ever lifted, you'd know that having someone there to help you is actually extremely important. Ever got stuck doing a bench press before? Yeah, in that situation the last thing you want to be is alone.

He has testimonials... creating a data base of workouts and then building a custom workout plan for somone isn't hard on top of the the coaching, you didn't understand what I am saying. Online trainers don't make you a program and then help you with it. If the make you a custom workout program and only that you buy it off them then go on your busniess. The real help comes from people who do the nutrition and custom workout in which the only thing the online trainer messes with is the nutrition part. Your workouts are soley depedent on you. If you visit his instagram ( https://instagram.com/beastmodejones/ ) and scroll through you will see many of his clients. He makes money from Youtube, his clothing line ( not the new one he launching), and he is sponsord by Gym Shark which is the biggest bodybuilding and fitness clothing line in the world. He sells custom workout programs? have a lagging body part go onto his website buy it and there you go something that focuses on your specific area. Chris Jones is not a scam. The whole purpose of online trainers is to reach more people (better profit gain) and it is cheaper than paying 30-50 an hour for a personal trainer who doesnt even help with nutrition just the training part. Do you know how long it takes to see results? Lets say the workout last 1 hour and we're going with $40 an hour ( the gym gets a percentage of the money he makes as well unless he/she owns their own gym) and you workout 5 days a week. That's 200 a week and it will take probably minimum 12 weeks for you to see some good progress. That's $2,400 for a trainer... who can afford that?

I've got testimonials too:

"It has come to our attention that you are making use of an unauthorized testimonial from Bill Murray, hereafter referred to as our client.

Failure to do so will result in a violation of 17 U.S.C.

Called it.

But my point is how would an online trainer help you bench? Laptops don't lift weights off your chest just because you have some dude on Skype counting your sets.

You said "Fitness trainers are redundant in my opinion. Especially online." so I thought you were grouping them with in-person fitness trainers. I've never done any 1-on-1 fitness related thing with someone online before so I wouldn't know. Also, there are YouTube videos where people go over diet and show you how to exercise for free so yeah, going the online route does seem silly. The ab workout I do is something I learned from watching an Asian on YouTube do it, and the only thing he expects in return is that I sit through the 15 second ad that plays before his video starts.

Does the anime leave out content from the manga?

Not just photo, weight as well, but yea you can google everything that's what I did to learn ( I also took a nutrtion class laster at my college) everything is on the internet, but people are just too lazy and that's how you make profit not just with personal training almost everything to be honest. Someone doesn't want to do something on their own. What do they do? they hire someone to do it for them.
