Why Virtual Personal Training?

Over the past seven years, API has become well known for high level, non-traditional conditioning of athletes.  This conditioning has proven to be priceless with numerous victories and titles being won after training with us.  At API, training athletes is actually a small percentage of our client base.  The rest of our clients are everyday people just looking to get more fit.

We have received numerous requests from people of all walks of life from around the world asking for our expertise in designing personal training programs for them.  These requests come from everyday people that are tired of the same old training programs.  These people want to get great results in the shortest possible time and are looking for something “new” and different.  Unfortunately, until now, to receive our services you would either have to train with our eCaveman Training Program or belong to one of our API Training Centers or Caveman Training® Affiliates.

We are proud to announce the first ever API Virtual Personal Training Program.  API has teamed up with the Health and Fitness Provider Network (HFPN) in an effort to leverage HFPN Technology to bring this program to life.  HFPN is health and wellness company based in Arizona which brings an incredible amount of technology, research and expertise to the world of Fitness.  The HFPN platform is based on the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) methodology of program design.  The NASM methodologies are well researched and scientifically proven to get results.  The combination of the NASM methodology, HFPN Technology and API’s knowledge of Athlete Conditioning, brings a unique and “one-of-a-kind” opportunity to the world of on-line fitness.

Who is the Virtual Personal Training Program for?

The Virtual Training Program is designed for everyone, everywhere regardless of their age, gender, goals or abilities.  The program can be altered based on the clients’ needs, wants, experiences and equipment/facility availability.  The program is appropriate for the stay at home parent who needs to lose weight, to the busy professional who is “on-the-go” to the athlete who needs to improve their sports performance.  The programs are comprehensive in nature and are tailored specific to the individual client.

Who supervises the Virtual Personal Training Program?

The Virtual Personal Training programs will condition the client from the ground up allowing them to become stronger, live pain free and become more fit than ever before.  Along with other fitness professionals, all programs are supervised by API President Scott Ramsdell who brings his 20 years of experience to the Virtual Personal Training Realm.

How does the Virtual Personal Training Program work?

Once accepted into the program, the client will be contacted by their Trainer via e-mail.  The Trainer will send forms to the client that will them be filled out and returned via e-mail.  Once the Personal Trainer receives the forms, the Trainer will then begin to construct the program for the client.

As part of this process, the Trainer creates a profile for the client within the HFPN Network website.  This profile is password protected with only the client and Trainer having access to it.  Once the customized program is built, the Trainer then loads it into the client’s profile.  The client will then be able to log into their HFPN profile and retrieve their program. The program includes printable descriptions and videos of all techniques and exercises utilized in the program.

Here is the really cool part that separates this program from all others.  The Virtual Personal Training Program utilizes the “cutting edge” Exerspy Device.  The Exerspy is a small armband device that is worn on the upper arm.  The Exerspy monitors the client’s activity (including sleep).  When you know how many calories you burn, you know how many calories you need to eat to reach your goal.  The Exerspy armband uses four patented sensors that measure motion, body heat, skin temperature, and conductivity.  A proprietary algorithm “crunches” the collected information and your personal body parameters to calculate your activity, steps and calorie burn.

Every day, the client logs into their HFPN Profile and enters their food into their Food Log.  As the client logs their food, they will also connect their Exerspy to their computer.  The client’s Exerspy data will then upload into their profile.  This information is then immediately available to the trainer which will allow for monitoring and constant adjustments to the client’s program.  This information sharing allows for close management by the Trainer and ensures the success of the client.
