What's up with fitness coaching, wellness coaching, health coaching and personal training?

Personal trainer and fitness coach Carey Yang debunks the myths and confusion about fitness coaching, wellness coaching, health coaching and personal training.

Coaching is the latest fitness and weight loss trend. For years people have tried all sorts of exercise programs and diets and failed. Most people realize that they cannot go on the journey of health, fitness and weight loss on their own. They need professional help.

Personal trainers have been in high demand motivating and helping people exercise regularly, lose weight consistently and get in shape in less time. People who have achieved their fitness and weight loss goals also receive professional guidance in their nutrition, diet and lifestyle changes. “It’s the rest of 166 hours of the week that I don’t see you and train you for twice a week that make more difference in your weight loss and fitness,” says Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert based in Morris County, New Jersey.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC — a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

“In-person fitness training is invigorating. Nothing can replace the physical exercise and training that a personal trainer can deliver. After all, everyone knows what to do and why they need to do it. The problem most people simply aren’t motivated to do it,” Yang says.

On the other side of the equation is that some people know and are doing the exercises and eating healthy part. But they lack the support, motivation and guidance to keep them stay on track or keep making progress. This is where the coaching part comes into play.

There are many variations of coaching related to health, fitness and weight loss. They may sound almost the same but with slight different in emphasis and expertise that the professional can deliver.

First, who are the professionals providing fitness coaching, wellness coaching, or health coaching? They can be personal trainers, yoga or pilates instructors, fitness or exercise instructors, nutritionists, dietitians, coaches, educators or counselors specialized in the area of health and fitness, medical doctors – all sorts of education, experience and training background.

“You have to look at their education, experience and training background, and areas of expertise to find the one that most meet your need. Better yet, talk to several of them. Ask specific questions, about your challenges and if they have experience or clients going to similar situations,” Yang says.

Almost all these coaching programs are virtual or online without having to be physically present with you. The service is delivered by phone, fax, email, messaging or skype — virtually anywhere in the world as long as internet or cellular communication is available.

Coaching is best suited for people who already know how to exercise properly and safely, but simply need a dose of motivation, on-going support, periodic change-up in workout routine and training program, or supportive nutrition plan.

“Expect to stick to a program for at least 3 months in order to draw up a plan, implement and monitor the progress, and adjust to meet your goals,” Yang says. “In a short-attention-span of instant messaging society, people want quick fixes instead of long-term sustainable results.”

Take fitness coaching as an example.

Here is a list of services what a virtual fitness coach can do for the clients:

- help set long-term goals and action plan

- complimentary to in-person physical training and exercise
