E119 Andrea Lee Personal Trainer Hybrid Options Let's Be Well Together

1. Who are some of the people we met who inspired us? We talk about examples. 2. We interview Andrea Lee in the area of Physical Wellness. There are different ways to work with personal trainers, and many possibilities offered by a hybrid approach. Historically the options were: (1) a certified trainer who works in a gym; (2) a trainer who has a home studio; or (3) a trainer who travels to a client’s home. People could also train at a gym or a center that does large group classes. Technology (and Covid shutdowns) brought options and changes. People can work with a trainer online, using one of the virtual platforms (Facetime, Zoom, Teams, etc.). Online coaching is another option. A program is sent to you online or through an app. You’re not spending one-on-one time with your trainer or coach. The learn your goals and set a plan tailored for you. The client chooses what day to do the exercises, then check in with the trainer regularly, often by email. Combinations work. Some of Andrea’s clients train with her, and they also enjoy group classes at other places. People don’t need to stick with just one thing. It’s great to have a variety. Andrea is using a hybrid model herself, with some people visiting her home studio, others doing virtual training sessions and others using online coaching. It allows her to see more people, because it allows for clients to choose an option that works best for them. 3. Starving Artist – Cameron thought he was passed over after applying to audition for a metal vocals project, but he was wrong. He got a belated and very nice response and will be auditioning soon. 4. Move That Body – Julie asked AI for a list of unconventional ways to exercise. It came up with a fun list of ideas. 5. Running Popup- John realized, surprisingly, that life got in the way and he stopped being a distance runner. He was running, but not enough mileage. He’s hoping that getting back into it will feel great again. 6. We can get obsessed about something, maybe a sports team or a hobby. Our lives center on it, which is odd because it makes no different to most people’s lives.
