Work-out via LIVE video-call with an experienced, reliable fitness trainer from the comfort of your own living room. How it started:
My name is Yan Shvartsman. I am canfitpro-certified personal trainer with a B.Sc. I started MyVideoGym to help my grandmother reverse her pre-diabetes diagnosis. She was advised by her doctor to lose at least five pounds and to lower her blood sugar. Achieving thi
s through diet alone proved to be too challenging for her, as her sedentary lifestyle was contributing to the problem. When she came to me for advice, I offered to start strength training her, because strength training is a great way to regulate blood sugar, make the body more sensitive to insulin, and lose weight. In addition, a carefully-regulated resistance workout plan would help strengthen her bones, and make her more mobile and independent. We started training three times a week through video call, as this was the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. A few months later my grandmother was no longer pre-diabetic. I've been training her through video call every week since then. This type of behavior change is something I love seeing as a trainer. Adapting to a new routine and letting it become part of your daily life isn't easy, especially in the current global climate. But it can be life changing. How MyVideoGym can help you:
The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns have imposed both physical and mental barriers on many of us in our pursuit of fitness. With MyVideoGym I aim to correct this by offering LIVE online fitness training. This eliminates the need to commute, spend money on gas, host a trainer in your home, and also helps curb community transmission. Whether you are a beginner who wants to learn how to exercise effectively, a busy professional with a hectic schedule who wants to get fit, or you are an older person looking to regain your mobility and strength, MyVideoGym is for you. I have been working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor since 2018. I feel lucky to have trained people of all ages and backgrounds, as well as of different experience levels and fitness goals. It doesn't matter how long you've been working out, or what equipment you have. A personalized program tailored to your needs and goals will be created for you, and I will be there every step of the way helping you adhere to it. The work-out sessions are held on zoom, and they are live. I am there training you for the entire duration of it, from warm-up to cooldown. The switch to the online platform at the start of 2020 was intimidating at first. However, it quickly became apparent that training virtually is not only on par with the in-person experience, it has the added benefit of safety and convenience, flexible scheduling, and more. See what my clients have to say about it! Inclusivity:
At MyVideoGym all bodies and presentations are welcome and are celebrated, regardless of background, gender, sexual orientation, age, body size, and fitness experience. Being a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community I recognize the importance of fostering safety and inclusivity within the fitness industry, having experienced firsthand the toxic environment so often present in fitness spaces.
