Why Online Personal Training?

Online personal training is a great way to stay motivated, focused, and get results for an affordable price. You’ll have a personal trainer in your back pocket, ready to provide inspiration and accountability through the exclusive online community. It’s also a great way to mix-up your workout routine. If you’re tired of the same old exercise classes or the same gym equipment, this is an affordable way to get a personal trainer who delivers new workouts 3 times a week that progressively build your strength, core, and mobility. If you have questions, it’s easy to ask the personal trainer, Emily Ackart, questions both through the app and the private Facebook group.

What equipment do I need?

You’ll need the following equipment:

  • TRX
  • Heavy and light set of dumbbells. I recommend 12-25 lbs. and 8-12 lbs.
  • Slam ball (medicine ball filled with sand) 10-20 lbs.
  • Mini exercise bands – heavy

Optional:

  • Kettlebell 25-35 lbs. (12-16 kg)
  • Strength bands – Extra light or light, X-Mount for hanging TRX

*I am a TRX affiliate, so in addition to a 15% discount, I’ll also receive a portion of the sale. The cost remains the same to you. I’m a big believer in the power of the TRX, and the compensation in no way impacts my belief that TRX is a great training tool. You’re also free to purchase the product at other retailers.

All of these products are available through the TRX website, or you can buy them from Amazon or Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Why TRX training?
We use the TRX in this program because we use core all the time with this amazing piece of equipment! It’s an amazing tool to train balance, improve stability in your hips and shoulders and it will help you build power too. Unlike using a machine in the gym, the TRX allows you to move through endless ranges of motion and work at various angles to increase or decrease intensity. Let’s face it, we sit way too much. With the TRX you’re standing or working on suspended training. With the exercises, you must use your entire body, especially your core. A strong core = greater overall strength.

I've never used a TRX. Is this program for me?

Yes! We have TRX newbies in our community and accountability group ready to cheer you on. The TRX is easy on your joints. You’ll be able to use your entire body weight to build strength in ways you never thought possible!

With easy to follow videos for every exercise, including modifications, you’ll have the tools you need to learn a new exercise routine.

Plus, you’ll get access to TRX setup videos so you can customize your workout plans to your level.

How much does it cost?

Online personal training costs $30 a month. There is no contract. The first month is charged when you’re ready to commit and grab a limited spot. Then, you’ll be charged automatically on the 28th of the month UNLESS you give Emily Ackart 48 hours notice of cancellation.

What's included?

You’ll get:

  • 3 workouts per week via the TrueCoach app
  • Videos showing you how to do each exercise
  • Written instructions for each exercise
  • Modifications for exercises
  • Ability to message your trainer with questions
  • Access to an online accountability group for motivation, inspiration, helpful tips, basic nutrition help, meal ideas, and support from other members of the Emily Ackart Fitness Community
What kind of workouts will I receive each week?

You’ll get 3 workouts per week that include HIIT training, strength training, and a workout to build and rebuild your core while increasing mobility. Workouts are not repeated, so you’ll always have a fresh workout so you can stay motivated! Progression and modifications are shown for each exercise. You can also always ask questions through our private Facebook group or the message button on the app itself. The workouts will take 25-35 minutes to complete.
