Question 1

What is online personal training?

Accepted Answer

It's one-to-one coaching over a live video call. Your coach plans each session around your goal and the space and equipment you have, watches you train in real time, corrects your form and adjusts the plan week by week. At MakeMyFitness every session is live, 45 minutes long, with a certified coach.

Question 2

Does online personal training actually work?

Accepted Answer

It works when the coaching is live and you train consistently. Your coach sees every rep, so form is corrected as you go, and a fixed slot with a real person keeps you accountable. It suits most healthy adults. If you have a complex injury or a medical condition, see a doctor or physiotherapist first.

Question 3

How much does online personal training cost?

Accepted Answer

At MakeMyFitness a 45-minute 1:1 session costs ₹799 for gym training, ₹899 for home training and ₹1,299 for rehab, and group classes are ₹499 per person. A 4-week plan of 12 sessions costs less per session. Prices are the same everywhere in India.

Question 4

Are all sessions online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every MakeMyFitness session is a live video class with a real coach, so you can train from home, your gym, a hotel room, anywhere in India.

Question 5

What do I need to join a class?

Accepted Answer

A phone, tablet or laptop with a camera and a stable internet connection, and enough floor space to move. Place your device so your coach can see your whole body.

Question 6

How do I book a session?

Accepted Answer

Pick a training format, choose a date and a time that suits you, and leave your number. Our team calls you to confirm your coach and slot, then sends you the video link.

Question 7

Can a coach really correct my form over video?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your coach watches you live, cues each rep and adjusts camera angles with you when needed. It's the same attention you'd get in person, without the commute.

Question 8

I'm recovering from an injury. Is Rehab & Recovery safe for me?

Accepted Answer

Rehab & Recovery is strength and mobility work for after your doctor or physiotherapist has cleared you to exercise. Share your medical history when you book, and your coach will plan around it and work alongside your physio's advice.

Question 9

Do I need equipment for home training?

Accepted Answer

No. Your coach builds every class around whatever you have, from a yoga mat to a full home gym.

Question 10

Can I reschedule a session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Let us know in advance and we will move your session to another slot that works for you and your coach.

Question 11

How does the 4-week plan work?

Accepted Answer

You get 12 live sessions over 4 weeks, 3 a week, at a lower price per session than booking them one at a time.

Question 12

Can I try a single session first?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Book and pay for one session on its own, then decide whether a 4-week plan suits you.

Question 13

Is the Group Classes price per person?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Group Classes cost ₹499 per person for a class, or ₹4,040 per person for the 4-week plan.

Question 14

Are there any long-term contracts?

Accepted Answer

No. Pay per session, or for one 4-week plan at a time.

Question 15

Can I reschedule a session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Let us know in advance and we will move your session to another slot that works for you and your coach.

Question 16

Is the session live, or a recorded video?

Accepted Answer

Live. Your coach is on a Google Meet video call for the whole 45 minutes, watching every set and correcting your form as you go. Nothing is pre-recorded, and there's no app to follow on your own.

Question 17

Do I need a gym membership?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You train at your own gym, and your coach joins you live on video.

Question 18

How does my coach see me?

Accepted Answer

Prop your phone on a bench, rack or bag about two metres away, side-on, so you're in frame from head to toe. Your coach will help you adjust the angle.

Question 19

What if my gym doesn't have certain equipment?

Accepted Answer

Tell us about your gym in the booking questions. Your coach plans around what's actually available and swaps exercises on the spot if a machine is taken.

Question 20

How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

45 minutes: a quick check-in, warm-up, your main lifts, a short finisher and a cool-down.

Question 21

Is an online personal trainer as good as one at the gym?

Accepted Answer

For most people learning and progressing in the gym, yes. Your coach watches every set live, cues your form and plans each session, without the cost of a trainer on the gym floor. What video can't do is spot you under a heavy barbell or correct you by touch, so your coach picks loads you can control on your own.

Question 22

Is online gym training good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beginners gain the most from live coaching, because good habits are easiest to build from the first session. Your coach starts with technique on the basic lifts and the machines your gym has, then adds load week by week as you get stronger.

Question 23

Is online home training live or pre-recorded?

Accepted Answer

Live, every time. A certified coach joins you on a video call, watches you move and adjusts each exercise on the spot. It's the opposite of following a workout video.

Question 24

Is it good for complete beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most people start here. Your coach teaches each movement from scratch, keeps the first weeks simple and builds up only as fast as you're ready.

Question 25

Do I need any equipment?

Accepted Answer

No. Your coach builds every class around whatever you have, from nothing at all to a full home setup.

Question 26

How much space do I need?

Accepted Answer

About a mat's length and a little room to move your arms. A cleared corner of a room is enough.

Question 27

I live in an apartment. Will it be noisy?

Accepted Answer

Your coach can keep sessions low-impact, with no jumping, so you won't disturb the neighbours.

Question 28

Which device should I use?

Accepted Answer

Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. A larger screen makes it easier to see your coach demonstrate.

Question 29

Do you send a trainer to my home?

Accepted Answer

No. MakeMyFitness never sends anyone to your home: every session is a live video call. You still get one-to-one attention from a certified coach who watches every rep, with no travel time for either of you and nobody visiting your home.

Question 30

Can I lose weight with online home workouts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, alongside sensible eating. Your coach combines strength and conditioning sessions at home with a modest calorie deficit and enough protein, which is how fat loss lasts. Our free calorie deficit calculator shows a sensible daily target to start from.

Question 31

Can an online trainer help after a back or knee injury?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once a doctor or physiotherapist has cleared you to exercise. Your coach follows their advice, watches you on video, and stops or swaps any movement that doesn't feel right. It's coaching after rehab, not treatment.

Question 32

Is this physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

No. It's strength and mobility coaching for after a doctor or physio has cleared you to exercise. We work alongside their advice.

Question 33

Do I need to be cleared before I start?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend it. If you haven't seen anyone yet, tell us when you book and we'll talk it through on the call.

Question 34

Can I start after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once your surgeon or physiotherapist says you can begin exercising. Share their guidance with your coach.

Question 35

What if something hurts during a session?

Accepted Answer

Tell your coach straight away. They'll stop, adjust or swap the exercise. Sessions are paced to how you feel each day.

Question 36

Is this the same as online physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

No. A physiotherapist assesses and treats an injury. Our coaches build strength and movement once a doctor or physio has cleared you to exercise, following their advice. Many people use both: physiotherapy to diagnose and treat, then coached exercise to rebuild strength and confidence.

Question 37

Can you help with back pain or knee pain?

Accepted Answer

If a doctor or physiotherapist has checked it and cleared you to exercise, yes. Your coach plans gentle, progressive strength and mobility work for the area and adjusts each session to how it feels that day. For severe or new pain, numbness or swelling, see a doctor first.

Question 38

Are the classes live or recorded?

Accepted Answer

Live. One coach runs the class on a video call in real time, sees everyone and offers easier and harder options as you go. These aren't pre-recorded workout videos.

Question 39

Can I join without bringing a group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can book a place on your own and train alongside other participants in the same live class.

Question 40

Will everyone train together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One coach leads everyone through the same class in real time. Participants can join from different locations, and the coach offers variations for different fitness levels.

Question 41

Do I need to be fit already?

Accepted Answer

No. Your coach offers easier and harder options for every exercise, so everyone works at their own level.

Question 42

Can I join with friends or colleagues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell us who you are joining with and how many of you there are in the booking questions so we can arrange your places together.

Question 43

Do I need equipment?

Accepted Answer

No. Classes are designed to work with just your bodyweight.

Question 44

Can I join online fitness classes from anywhere in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Classes run on a live video call, so you can join from any city, or from abroad, as long as the time suits you. Class times are in India time, between 6 AM and 8 PM.

Question 45

Are online group classes good for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

They help. Regular classes keep you training three times a week, and the group keeps you turning up. Pair them with a modest calorie deficit and enough protein for steady fat loss; your coach can point you to the right targets.

Question 46

How fast can I lose fat safely?

Accepted Answer

Most people do well losing about 0.5–1% of their body weight a week. Faster than that tends to cost muscle and energy, and the weight is harder to keep off. Your coach sets a pace that suits you.

Question 47

Do I have to give up the foods I love?

Accepted Answer

No. A modest deficit leaves room for the foods you enjoy, including home-cooked meals and the occasional sweet. Your coach helps you adjust portions and make simple swaps rather than banning foods.

Question 48

Can I lose fat training at home with no equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bodyweight strength work done with good form and made gradually harder, together with a sensible deficit and daily walking, is all you need.

Question 49

Will my coach help with what I eat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your coach gives practical guidance: a protein target, portion ideas and easy swaps for the meals you already eat. If you have a medical condition, we'll suggest you also speak to your doctor or a registered dietitian.

Question 50

I'm training but the scale isn't moving. Why?

Accepted Answer

Weight can stall for a week or two because of water, salt or your cycle, even while you're losing fat. Check your waist and weekly average. If both stay flat for three weeks, your coach reviews your food, steps and sleep with you.

Question 51

Is it safe if I have a health condition?

Accepted Answer

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, a heart condition or are pregnant, check with your doctor before starting a calorie deficit or a new exercise routine. Tell us when you book and your coach will plan around their advice.

Question 52

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Most people feel stronger within a few weeks and see visible changes after two to three months of consistent training. Muscle builds slowly, which is why a steady, long-term plan matters.

Question 53

Can I build muscle without a gym?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With dumbbells, resistance bands or bodyweight exercises made gradually harder, you can build muscle at home, especially as a beginner. A gym simply makes it easier to keep adding load over time.

Question 54

I'm vegetarian. Can I still build muscle?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Paneer, curd, milk, dal, chana, rajma, soya and tofu can cover your protein needs. It takes a little more planning, and your coach can help you with it.

Question 55

Do I need protein powder?

Accepted Answer

No. It's a convenient way to reach your protein target, but meals built around eggs, dal, paneer, curd, chicken, fish or soya work just as well.

Question 56

Will I gain fat while building muscle?

Accepted Answer

A little is normal when you eat in a surplus. Keeping the surplus modest and training hard keeps it to a minimum, and your coach tracks your measurements to keep things on course.

Question 57

How many days a week should I train?

Accepted Answer

Three to four sessions a week suits most people. That's enough to train each muscle group about twice a week, with time to recover in between.

Question 58

Is strength training good for women?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at any age. Lifting builds strength, bone density and confidence, and it won't make you bulky: that takes years of very specific training and eating. Your coach starts light, teaches each lift and progresses you at your own pace.

Question 59

Do I need a gym for strength training?

Accepted Answer

A gym with barbells and racks makes it easier to lift heavy, but you can build real strength at home with dumbbells, kettlebells, bands and harder bodyweight variations.

Question 60

I've never lifted before. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

With the basics. Your coach teaches each movement with light weights or bodyweight first, and adds load only once your technique is consistent.

Question 61

Is it safe with back or knee problems?

Accepted Answer

It often helps, but get clearance from your doctor or physiotherapist first. Tell us when you book: your coach adapts the exercises, and our Rehab & Recovery program is built for exactly this.

Question 62

How is this different from muscle building?

Accepted Answer

They overlap. Strength training focuses on lifting heavier loads for fewer reps and refining technique; muscle building uses more sets and reps to grow muscle size. Most plans include a bit of both.

Question 63

How often should I train?

Accepted Answer

Three sessions a week suits most people, with at least a day's rest between hard sessions for the same lifts.

Question 64

Can my coach really check my form over video?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set your phone side-on, about two metres away, so you're in frame from head to toe. Your coach watches every rep and cues you in real time.
