In this post, we break down the differences and benefits of face-to-face, online, and hybrid training, so you can find the best fit for your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
Face-to-Face Personal Training
What is it?
Traditional in-person training where you work directly with your coach in the gym.
Benefits:
Hands-on guidance – Perfect for beginners or anyone learning new movements. Your trainer can correct form on the spot.
Accountability and motivation – It's harder to skip a session when someone’s waiting for you.
Tailored, real-time support – Adaptations are made instantly based on how you feel that day.
Best for:
Those who want personal interaction, are new to fitness, or thrive on structure and supervision.Personal Training With Purpose

Online Personal Training
What is it?
You work remotely with a trainer who creates your workout plans, nutrition guidance, and ongoing support via apps, video calls, or messaging.
Benefits:
Flexible and convenient – Train anywhere, anytime. Great for busy schedules or frequent travellers.
Cost-effective – Typically more affordable than in-person sessions.
Self-paced progression – Ideal if you’re experienced or confident in the gym and just need guidance.
Best for:
Independent gym-goers, shift workers, or anyone who wants expert support without the time constraints of in-person sessions.
Hybrid Personal Training
What is it?
A blend of face-to-face and online coaching – for example, one in-person session per week, supported by a digital plan and check-ins.
Benefits:
Best of both worlds – Hands-on help when needed, plus the freedom of online flexibility.
Personalised progression – Your trainer can assess your form in person and make intelligent adjustments to your online plan.
Stronger long-term results – Builds consistency, independence, and accountability.
Best for:
Those who want structure, flexibility, and the occasional in-person boost to stay on track.
