Online PT has a spam problem. Here's what the real version looks like, so you can hold any coach to it, including me.
Done properly, online personal training is the thinking part of coaching delivered remotely: a programme written for you, adjusted as your results come in, with a coach reviewing your lifts on video and answering when something doesn't work. The hour of someone standing next to you counting reps is the part that's removed. The judgement is the part you're paying for.
That trade works brilliantly if you can get yourself to the gym but need direction: what to do, how hard, when to change it. It works badly if you'd skip every session without someone physically waiting at the rack. I'd rather tell you that here than after you've paid.
UK online coaching runs from £30 a month to £250 and beyond, and the price tells you less than these do:
I'm a strength and conditioning coach with a sports science degree, ten years of coaching, currently on the floor at Third Space. And I compete: sub-70 in my first Hyrox in the Pro division, ATHX Pro and qualified for the World Championship, two Ironman 70.3 finishes, plus years in physique and jiu jitsu before that. I've trained exclusively hybrid for years, and the programming I sell is the programming I stake my own races on.
Everything runs through one app. Your session arrives the night before. You train, log it, film the lifts that matter. I review, fix what needs fixing, and we speak properly every week about training, nutrition targets, and the life stuff that decides whether a plan survives contact with reality. The programme changes when your progress says it should.
1:1 coaching is application-based at £200/month with a three-month minimum. That's the honest window for real change, and it sits where quality UK coaching genuinely lives. If that's more coaching than you need, the app programmes are £45/month with the first 7 days free: same method, self-paced. And the free training week costs nothing at all.
Consistent for years, but the programme is whatever felt right that day. Direction is the missing piece, not effort.
You've outgrown the supervised hour and its price tag. You want the thinking without renting the babysitting.
A race, a competition, a deadline. Winging it stops being an option when the calendar is real.
Who's writing this?
I'm Moe: strength and conditioning coach, sports science degree, ten years coaching, currently on the
floor at Third Space. I race on my own programming, with a sub-70 in my first Hyrox in the Pro division,
an ATHX Pro World Championship qualification, and two Ironman 70.3 finishes.
More about me →
“Moe built a programme around my touring schedule instead of forcing me to build my life around a programme. I'm stronger now than before I started touring.”
“The Hyrox programme is genuinely built by someone who competes, not someone guessing. Every block had a purpose.”
“Running a company leaves little time to think about training. Moe handles the programming, I just show up and follow the plan, it works!”
For programming, analysis and accountability, yes, and the video record often makes coaching more precise than a noisy gym floor. For a complete beginner who's never touched a barbell, a few in-person sessions first are honestly worth it. Then online takes over.
The market runs from about £30 to over £250 a month. My 1:1 coaching is £200/month, application-based, three-month minimum. App programmes are £45/month with the first 7 days free.
A template doesn't know you exist. Here a human writes the plan, watches your lifts, and changes the programme based on what actually happened. The app is the delivery mechanism; the coaching is the product.
You tell me and we fix the plan. That's what coaching is. 1:1 carries a 30-day money-back guarantee (terms on the site), and app programmes cancel any time in the app.
Apply for 1:1 coaching and book a free intro call, or start the programme in the app with the first 7 days free. No pressure either way.
