What Is Hybrid Personal Training?
Hybrid personal training is a model that combines in-person and online coaching to deliver a flexible, effective, and often more affordable fitness solution. Clients can benefit from face-to-face sessions for hands-on guidance, while also receiving virtual support, programs, and accountability to continue progress independently.
