Often times program design for online clients appears harder for personal trainers to create. They feel confused as who is going to explain the exercises and ensure that their clients are performing them correctly. 

This leads to a further belief that online training is not as effective as in-person training. 

This podcast eliminates the confusion and provides a simple approach to creating easy to follow and effective online fitness programs.
