Train Like a Trainer: Personal Training Without the Class Schedule

Have you ever wished you could walk into your gym and already know exactly what to do?

You want the structure of working with a trainer. You want workouts that are thoughtfully programmed—not another random collection of exercises from the internet. You want to get stronger, challenge yourself, and make progress.

But maybe you don’t want to show up for a class at a specific time.

That’s exactly why I created Train Like a Trainer.

What Is Train Like a Trainer?

Train Like a Trainer is my first foray into online group programming, created for people who want professional workout programming and guidance while still having the freedom to train on their own schedule.

Instead of meeting with me at a particular time, you’ll have a workout ready for you when you are ready to train.

Think of it as having a trainer in your corner without having to coordinate your schedule around a class.

And there’s something else that makes this program a little different:

The workouts you’re doing are the same workouts I’m programming for myself.

I’m not creating a watered-down version for you. I’m following the same overall program, too. You’ll be training alongside me—just on your own schedule.

What Does the Programming Look Like?

Train Like a Trainer isn’t just a collection of random workouts designed to make you sweat.

The programming has a purpose.

We’re incorporating strength cycles that allow you to work on specific lifts and progressively build your strength.

We’re kicking things off with:

  • Back squat (or dumbbell front squat)
  • Shoulder press
  • Deadlifts

This week, we’ll establish your 1RM if you’re using a barbell or your max effort if you’re using dumbbells. From there, we’ll use those numbers to help guide the upcoming strength work.

But strength training isn’t the only thing you’ll see.

The strength cycles are just one part of the programming. You’ll also encounter other challenging, creative, and occasionally surprising workouts designed to keep your training interesting.

Because I don’t believe every workout needs to look the same—or that fitness should become boring.

What If I Don’t Have a Full Gym?

You don’t need an entire commercial gym to participate.

The program is designed with equipment substitutions in mind, so there are ways to modify exercises depending on what you have available.

At a minimum, I recommend having:

  • Three sets of dumbbells
  • One or more kettlebells
  • Access to some form of cardio equipment

You’ll also be given options when appropriate so you can make the workout work with the equipment you have.

This is group programming, not individualized personal training, so the workouts aren’t specifically customized to each person’s injuries, limitations, or goals. You’ll need to make appropriate adjustments for yourself when necessary.

Why Train Like a Trainer?

There are plenty of free workouts online.

There are also plenty of apps that will give you a workout.

But there’s something different about having a real trainer thoughtfully programming your training instead of simply scrolling until you find something that looks good.

With Train Like a Trainer, you don’t have to spend your time wondering:

“What should I do today?”

I’ve already done that part.

You get the structure of a planned program, the freedom to train when it fits your life, and programming that is designed with intention.

And because I’m doing the same programming myself, I’m not asking you to do something I’m not willing to do.

This Is Just the Beginning

Train Like a Trainer is my first step into online group programming, and I’m excited to see where it goes.

My goal is simple: give you better workouts without making your life revolve around your workouts.

You don’t have to be available at 6:00 a.m.

You don’t have to coordinate with a class schedule.

You don’t have to figure out what exercises to string together.

You just need to decide when you’re going to train—and then show up and do the work.
