I’m looking into starting an online business with writing programs for clients? What do you recommened?

There really isn’t much in that department. Because personal training requires us to be with people it is limiting. If someone is given instructions they still may do it wrong. You have to be able to see them and correct them.

But because there isn’t much in that you may be able to find a niche.

Hi Julie. As far as conducting fitness assessments ‘online’ I’m not really sure how that would work, or even if it did that I would trust/rely on the results. There are a number of ways to conduct ‘online training’ and phone consultations; you’ve already mentioned one that I’ve heard other trainers using (Skype).

Good luck with your venture!

I believe it can work for the right person in the right market with the right clientele @ the right price… my attempt @ humor haha

…but seriously

I have been approached a few times about it but, I like to offer the “service” end. Can be risky/damaging to reputation if injurious to participants and I found myself feeling as though I was limiting or unjustly predetermining their ability/intensity level of programming too much for caution and safety because of the medium used.
