Summary

In this episode of The Chasing Health Podcast, Chase and Chris break down the key differences between online coaching and in-person training. If you’ve ever thought you needed a trainer standing next to you to stay motivated, this conversation might change your perspective.

Chris shares his experience of starting as an in-person trainer, only to realize that most of his clients weren’t struggling with workouts—they were struggling with nutrition, mindset, and accountability. He and Chase discuss why online coaching can often provide a higher level of support, flexibility, and real-time guidance that traditional in-person training lacks.

They also dive into common concerns, like getting feedback on form, staying consistent without scheduled sessions, and whether a hybrid approach is a good option. If you’re wondering which type of coaching is right for you, this episode will help you figure out the best fit for your goals and lifestyle.
