Getting in shape, personal trainer question

[OJazzy1]

So I have a question. I am a SAHM and am looking to do correspondence school to become a personal trainer. What I would like to do is to help post partum moms get back in to shape after their babies and to build a healthier lifestyle, my question is this: Would you be willing to pay an affordable monthly fee to have someone be your online personal trainer, i.e. send you articles, tell you what you need to change, set up a workout regime for you, send you videos etc. All of the workouts would be things that you could do at home. You would have someone that you can shoot your questions off to and such. Also you would be in a very small online community of 5 or so other women that would keep each other accountable, have monthly "weigh ins" and such.

Would that be something you would like? What would you pay for something like that?

Thanks ladies!

As part of a maintenance program, yes. After getting in-person sessions, yes. Otherwise, not really. I can get a lot of information online about meal planning, workouts, and articles. So, while it may be nice to have that type of communication with a personal trainer, it wouldn't really motivate me or help me further my goals unless there were an established in-person connection.

I do think it's a great idea as part of a maintenance or up-keep program. That said, Weight Watchers has an online program and some people really love it, so while this is somewhat different, an online-only program would definitely appeal to some people.

ETA: I've been pondering this for a little while. I think having an easy, varied, nutritious meal plan for nursing mothers could be very helpful. I've found very little in that way online. So, I kinda change the above to say, you could offer different packages for the needs of your different clients.

For me, I would buy a package that included a week of meal planning (suggestions for each meal) that would assist in weight loss. I would want some type of support so it could be changed/tweaked based upon how well it works for me.

Ack, I just realized you didn't include meal planning in your question, but well, I'm exhausted and maybe my tangent was helpful.
