Virtual Fitness - Online Personal Training

Whatever your fitness needs, our online personal trainers can provide the exercise program to help you achieve your goals, and it won't cost the earth! Whether you want to lose weight, tone up, build muscle, prepare for an event or just increase general health we have years of sport and exercise science experience in changing people's lives for the better. Virtual Fitness was established in 2006 and has helped many people from all over the world achieve their fitness and health goals.

Masters of fitness!

All of our trainers at Virtual fitness are qualified to Master of Science level in Sport and Exercise science, and this is above all our major advantage over other websites and online personal trainers. All of our training principles are evidence based from Sport and Exercise Research. A masters degree in sport and exercise science or related field can only be attained by a minimum of four years full-time study, so you are in safe hands.

Our trainers have a thorough understanding of the underpinning components of fitness and the physiological knowledge of how the human body responds and adapts to different types of exercise. Furthermore we understand the different needs of specialist populations such as the obese, the pregnant, the elderly and the elite and how their training should specialise accordingly.

Paul Boden (OWNER)

I recently booked a premium health check and fitness plan as I saw it advertised locally. The check up was detailed and covered a range of heart checks including an ECG, cholesterol, lifestyle review and also lung capacity, strength check and weight/body fat analysis. Paul was very professional and friendly and excellent communication both before the check up and after. It was reassuring to have the checks done and to see areas that I needed to work on. Paul has a lot of experience in working with heart and rehabilitation fitness programs. I have several health conditions including long covid and high blood pressure and my plan was drawn up around these. Paul was also able to provide a vegan diet plan for me and exercises I could do at home. I felt the review was good value and covered a lot of areas, it does make you look at your health and fitness in more detail. I would recommend virtual fitness and the lifestyle checks.

They take care of both sides of the equation; exercise, and what your eating. I didn't realise weight loss could be so straight forward, even though it's hard work!
Susan North

I attempted the Marmotte (tour de france stage) a couple of years ago and ran out of steam, but with Paul's help and guidance I went back this year and smashed it!
Rohan, 32, London

I must admit I was sceptical that online training would work but I'd tried everything else so I gave it a go. I was amazed how much personal attention I received. Within a month I was a changed woman, they reorganised my life, exercise, food, shopping, fitting everything in, fantastic!
Carolyn

They have a knowledge of training you don't get at the gym! Virtual fitness made me concentrate on nutrition in a way I never previously had. Combined with the right exercise I've lost weight with ease after struggling for years
Sharon Smith, 47 Nurse

I'd been training in gyms for years, not really getting anywhere under my own steam. The trainers at virtual fitness give me the push I need even over the Internet. Now I've lost weight and feel fitter than ever. If I miss a session I feel guilty! They keep you on track with workout reminders and feedback trackers
Darren S, Aberdeen

I work in Tanzania in the middle of nowhere, but Virtual Fitness allowed me to get expert advice on nutrition and a customized training program with the limited equipment I had
Mark T, 45, Tanzania

I have trained with Paul for the last 6 months during the pandemic and have lost 10kg in weight and increased my muscle tone working out at home - I feel great and more confident to work out at home following his guidance
Stefan, 36
