Home personal training

[Em95]

Morning lovely ladies,

I wanted to get an opinion from you all.
After having a little one or being pregnant, getting into fitness is sometimes difficult. Trust me I know lool.

But I thought if mothers post partum or with young infants were to have a PT come to their homes and deliver training this could be much easier and time efficient.

What do you all think, I'll love to know

I live in Hampshire and I think there is a PT who does it here. I haven't used them personally but I can imagine they do get business.

That’s interesting to know.
If she was to train you at home at a decent price would that be something you’ll consider?

Yes, I think so. Particularly as you wouldn't have the same financial overheads as working from a gym so could be more competitive on the price. My only query would be how to manage of the baby was crying etc and needed attention for most of the booked session

Yes I definitely agree in terms of certain constrains of the gym will be eliminated.

I think the beauty of being in your home is it works around you and your baby. So you will know for example when the baby is napping or your partner will be around for an hour at a particular time etc

Yes but little babies aren't predictable like that. As Oranges said, what would happen if an hour session was booked but mum was BF for first 20 mins - then baby wouldn't be put down. You wouldn't have delivered the hour. Many mums on mat leave won't have partners at home in day. Unless you wanted to do evening sessions but then you'd have noise issues.

Sounds like you're considering this as a business opportunity for yourself? If yes, I'd say definitely consider it. I've got a friend who was working as a PT in a gym and got so many requests for 1-to-1 home vists he ended up pretty much doing that exclusively. There was nothing untoward about it before anyone suggests it. Just clients who preferred not to go to the gym either because they were self-conscious or had time constraints and could afford to pay a premium to make the travel time worth his while.

I don't think you'd need to limit your market to post-pregnancy mums - quite a few people might like this service; e.g. people who work odd shifts and find it hard to get to a gym.

Hey MrsBosh no doubt in what you’re saying. Children can be unpredictable and these are issues mothers will face.

The hour can be carried forward, rescheduled etc. I guess whatever works for both the parent and PT. But definitely these are issues that can occur.

So thank you

Yes this is something i am considering because I have also had a number of women express this idea of having home sessions and how it’ll work out better for them.

So hearing this just confirms it a little more, thank you!

Hello ScreamingValenta

You do have a point. Why limit yourself knowing more can benefit from your service? This is something I’ll think about
