Virtual Training

Virtual personal training is a live, one-on-one training session with Kelly conducted by video. You train from your home, gym, office, hotel room, or another convenient location while Kelly coaches you in real time.

During the session, Kelly demonstrates exercises, watches your movement and form, provides feedback, adjusts exercises when needed, and progresses your program as you become stronger and more confident.

Yes. Virtual sessions are still private, one-on-one appointments. Kelly designs your program around your goals, exercise experience, abilities, preferences, available equipment, and training space.

Because the sessions happen live, Kelly can watch your movement, provide real-time coaching, change an exercise that is not working well for you, and modify your workout based on how you are feeling and moving that day.

You do not need a complete home gym to begin virtual training. Your program can be designed around the space and equipment you already have.

Depending on your goals, useful equipment may include dumbbells, resistance bands or loops, a sturdy chair or bench, a yoga mat, stability equipment, or other simple home-training tools.

During your consultation, Kelly can also help you decide which pieces of equipment would be most useful for your individual program so you do not have to purchase equipment you do not need.

Virtual training can work well for a wide range of clients, including beginners, experienced exercisers, seniors, busy professionals, parents training from home, recreational athletes, frequent travelers, and people who simply prefer exercising in their own space.

It is also a great option for former in-person Fit Monkeys clients who move away but want to continue working with Kelly, as well as people who live too far from the Carlsbad studio to train in person.

No. One of the biggest advantages of virtual training is that you do not need to live near the Fit Monkeys studio in Carlsbad. Kelly works virtually with clients who live outside the local area and can continue training with clients even when distance makes regular in-person sessions impractical.

As long as you have an appropriate place to exercise and a reliable internet connection, your location does not need to prevent you from receiving individualized coaching.

Yes. Virtual training can travel with you. You can meet with Kelly from a hotel room, hotel gym, vacation rental, family member's home, or another suitable exercise space while you are away.

Your workout can also be modified around whatever equipment you have available while traveling. If your normal home gym is not available, Kelly can create a session using bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, hotel gym equipment, or other available options.

No. Many virtual workouts can be performed in a relatively small area. During your consultation, Kelly can help you determine the best camera position and training setup for the space you have available.

Your exercise program can then be designed around both your goals and the practical limitations of your training space.

Absolutely. You do not need previous strength-training or gym experience to begin virtual personal training.

Because sessions are one-on-one, Kelly can teach exercises at an appropriate pace, demonstrate movements, provide feedback, and start with exercises that match your current abilities before gradually progressing your program.

Yes. Kelly has extensive experience training seniors and specialized education in senior fitness. Virtual programs can include strength, balance, mobility, stability, and functional exercises designed around the individual.

During the initial setup, Kelly can also help determine an appropriate camera position so she can clearly observe your movements during training.

Yes. Kelly is an experienced Pilates instructor, so virtual sessions can include mat Pilates, Pilates-based exercises, or a combination of Pilates and traditional strength training.

If you have your own reformer or other Pilates equipment at home, Kelly can also provide virtual instruction using your equipment when appropriate.

Yes. Exercise can be an important part of a comprehensive weight-management plan, although personal training alone cannot guarantee weight loss.

Kelly can design a program that supports your goals by improving strength and fitness, increasing physical activity, and helping you build or maintain muscle while working toward changes in body weight.

Nutrition needs that fall outside our professional scope should be addressed with an appropriately qualified nutrition or healthcare professional.

In many cases, yes. Kelly's background in corrective exercise, Pilates, and individualized personal training allows her to modify exercise selection, resistance, range of motion, positioning, and difficulty based on the individual.

If you have an injury, medical condition, or significant physical limitation, your exercise program should also take into account any recommendations or restrictions provided by your healthcare team. Personal training is not a substitute for medical care or physical therapy.

Yes. Kelly can help you determine what equipment makes sense for your goals, available space, and budget.

A useful home gym does not need to be large or expensive. In many cases, a few carefully selected pieces of equipment can provide plenty of options for strength, mobility, balance, and functional training.

Yes. Virtual training makes it possible to maintain the trainer-client relationship even when you relocate or can no longer regularly travel to the Fit Monkeys studio.

Your program can be adapted to your new home, gym, equipment, and lifestyle while you continue receiving live one-on-one coaching from Kelly.
