Every day more and more business and commerce is occurring on the web, and why should the fitness industry be any different? Online fitness training has many advantages for you and your clients, which makes it a viable option as an additional revenue source. Here are the five greatest benefits of the future of fitness training.
1. Cost
Studies have shown that utilizing a personal trainer has a positive effect on health and fitness results when compared to those who exercise without one (Maloof, Zabik and Dawson, 2001). However, the cost of employing a personal trainer can often be cited as a barrier. Online personal training can be a great addition to the services you offer as it is associated with a lower cost threshold for a consumer. Often the price of online fitness training is approximately 10 to 20 percent (or less) of the budget needed for regular participation in personal or semi-private training sessions.
Furthermore, many of your overhead costs, whether it is renting floor time or the costs of turning on the lights and temperature control, are no longer an issue when you train clients online. Your per-hour income (especially when systems are implemented) will be similar or even greater even though your are offering a lower-cost product.
2. Location
How many times have you lost out on a great lead because you were five minutes too far away? Or perhaps one of your customers has moved, never to be heard from again? These issues go away with online fitness training because where you are located is no longer a consideration. Think of how large your consumer base could be without this barrier. No longer are you the fat-loss expert of the downtown area; you can be the fat-loss expert to the world.
The consumer experiences the same benefits, as they are no longer limited to the fitness experts of their small town (if there even are any). Their choice in a personal trainer increases exponentially with online fitness training, and they can find the expert that caters to their specific needs and goals.
3. Convenience
Scheduling conflicts become a thing of the past when you train online. No longer are you concerned about the clients you have to turn away because your morning sessions are always booked (just convert them to online clients). No longer does the large break in the middle of the day represent wasted time and lost income; rather, it becomes the time to work on the online side of your business. You will even be able to start making money while on your vacations!
Clients can now work out when they want and where they want. Waking up at 5 a.m. to meet with a trainer who only has that time available

100+ Sniper Exercises
“Every sniper instructor, sniper student, and sniper professional will appreciate this treasure trove of realistic sniper exercises and shooting drills. I highly recommend it.” -Maj. John L. Plaster, U.S. Army (Ret.)A professional sniper needs to accomplish three things to do his job: be predictable, repeatable, and precise! To help achieve that goal, veteran sniping instructor and competitive long-range shooter Eduardo Abril de Fontcuberta has collected dozens of exercises from elite military and police sniping programs and organized them into a complete training course. Now, snipers, instructors, and even civilian long-range target shooters can develop and assess their performance, individually or as a unit, and meet the standards of the best snipers in the world. The exercises in this book-from the U.S. Marines and U.S. Army, U.S. Navy SEALs, Spanish Foreign Legion, Swedish Marines, Gunsite, Snipercraft, and many other top sniping programs-cover the entire spectrum of the professional sniper’s skill set, including: close-range and known-distance shooting-testing cold-bore zeros, target identification, knowing your limits . . . long-range shooting-range estimation, ballistics and wind reading, hard-target interdiction . . . complex and skills-oriented exercises-accuracy under stress, simultaneous engagements, shooting through glass, angle shooting, shooting through loopholes . . . nonshooting requirements-communications, camouflage and observation, land navigation, tactical medicine, survival and tracking . . . The author wraps up with his recommendations for sniper competitions, schools, instructors, and equipment. Whether you need stand-alone training drills or a complete course in tactical marksmanship, you will get it with the exercises in this book.

ZOOT Ultra 2.0 CRx Men’s Compression Socks Black/Safety Yellow, 3 – Men’s
As any professional athlete will tell you, maximizing your recovery is just as important as maximizing your training. However, Zoot’s new Ultra 2. 0 CRx Compression Socks strike two chords harmoniously at once. These socks feature an mmHg of 18-30, making them sufficient for recovery, without being to tight for active use. So, you’re able to lessen your recovery time before you even get there. The socks were constructed with ZOOT’s hallmark BioWrap fit, which provides anatomically designed areas of compression in order to stabilize your calf muscles and to support your Achilles tendon during exercise. After all, compression fabrics stabilize muscles in order to reduce damage during exercise. However, that’s only one part of the compression story. These socks provide a graduated compression with ZOOT’s new NanoGLIDE fabric. Graduated in its design, this material is made to compress the most at your foot and ease up as it gets closer to your calf. This forces blood flow from the bottom of your legs back to your heart. Essentially, this puts pressure on the muscles, arteries, and veins that are farthest away from the heart, ultimately forcing the body to circulate blood through narrower circulatory channels. So, almost like kinking a hose, it creates arterial pressure, and like when you finally release the kink, blood circulates faster to the heart. This accelerates recovery, by providing more oxygenated blood cells to the oxygen-deprived muscle groupings. On top of stellar recovering properties, NanoGLIDE helps to reduce blistering and hot spots at the toe box and heel. And to keep everything nice and cool, ZOOT placed its lightweight and highly-breathable AirZONE fabric atop the foot. The Zoot Ultra 2. 0 CRx Compression Socks are available in the colors Black/graphite, Black/safety yellow, Safety Yellow/black, and White/graphite and in the sizes Three, Four, and Five. Please note that sizing is based upon calf circumference, so we recommend that you refer to th…
