Ask HN: Would you use an online personal trainer?

1 points by jmbmxer 12y ago ↗ HN

Thinking about signing up for a long distance endurance mountain bike race next year and am having a hard time finding a niche trainer. What do you all think about one-on-one personal trainers via the internet? Seems like there is something to be said about checking in with someone and being accountable to another person.

The personal trainer advantage is the form fixing ability in my opinion. The motivation of being held accountable is a huge part too, but having someone there to help make sure that Im doing the exercise right and helping me push myself during my workout is the reason for me to get one.
