New Fitness Program Puts a Personal Trainer in Your Pocket and at a Fraction of the Regular Cost

New Fitness Program Puts a Personal Trainer in Your Pocket and at a Fraction of the Regular Cost

Y&U Audio Trainer™ program brings personal training to mp3 players at a fraction of the price.

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) April 4, 2006

Getting fitter, losing weight and gaining better health just got more convenient and a lot more inexpensive today with an announcement from Total Wellness Consulting of a groundbreaking personal training program series for mp3 players. “Fitter U™” is the first in the Y&U Audio Trainer™ series, offering a comprehensive, 3-month guided audio workout program at just 5% of the cost of hiring a personal trainer.

“Much of the benefit of having a personal trainer is about proper instruction, structure and motivation,” says Yuri Elkaim, owner and founder of Total Wellness Consulting. “The new audio series provides each of those. The programs offered in Fitter U, as with those in the series that will follow it, are based on dispelling the many health and fitness myths and common errors. The program will lead people through an effective results-based workout built on solid scientific and educational foundations. But it’s more than that—we also worked to make sure Fitter U will motivate and guide people toward their goals. It’s very common today to see people wearing personal music players in the gym and it just makes sense to marry personal training and technology to deliver better weight loss and fitness coaching at a very affordable price,” he says.

Fitter U™ includes more than 35 hours of minute-by-minute guided workouts led by Mr. Elkaim, an acclaimed personal trainer and former professional soccer player. Each workout of the program is different from the last to keep routines fresh, and people love it: “Yuri’s guided instruction is inspiring, motivating, and humorous,” says Amy Coates, already an avid user of Fitter U™. “I’ve had personal trainers in the past and with Fitter U, it feels like Yuri is right there beside me taking me through my workout,” she says. Terri Lynn Bonnar, manager of the Bloor Park Club in Toronto, says “What really makes Fitter U™ stand out for me is that Yuri not only addresses the exercise component, he also conditions you mentally ensuring you understand how important a healthy and positive mindset is to achieving your goals.”

The new program will bring the benefits of having a personal trainer to a wider audience. Three months of exercising with a personal trainer would regularly cost almost $4,000. In contrast, the 3-phase Fitter U™ program is available for only $197 (bearing in mind users will need to have an mp3 player). Also included with Fitter U™ are a “Healthy Eating” audio segment and a downloadable e-book featuring an Excel workout tracker sheet, pictures of the exercises and stretches, a success journal, and a reward system to help get and keep you motivated.
