The last time I tried personal training was over the summer. I signed up through my local gym and for 5 sessions, and the discounted intro price was close to $300. The results were fantastic, but an ongoing expense like that wasn’t justifiable within my budget.
As I recently began my 2015 fitness regimen, I was thrilled to hear about a new app called Vint. Currently exclusive to the Bay Area, it is an on demand local trainer – some call it the Uber app for fitness.
Browsing through each screen, I was excited to see so many options for personal training – it is not isolated to the usual gym rat routine, there are trainers from all different sports and fitness backgrounds. The cost is also very reasonable compared to other personal training sessions. Just pick your favorite workout and it’s $35 to try a session or $120 for unlimited sessions the entire month!
As I scrolled down to find something fun to switch up my fitness routine, I came across tennis instructor, Kevin Nguyen, who teaches all levels of tennis and incorporates cardio & strength training. I chose a single session, went through the sign-up process and met Kevin the next day. If you do try on-demand personal training, I’d highly recommend Kevin Nguyen’s cardio tennis workout! My FitbitⓇ logged over 1/2 a days worth of steps over a 1hour session, and it was so fun that the time just flew by.
Overall it was a seamless experience, however I was a little disappointed the instant card-reader didn’t work, (img shown here) after many failed attempts at the scan prompt, I entered my card number the usual manual way but hope to see an improvement on that interface feature soon, it’s built on a fantastic idea.
I give Vint 2 thumbs up. It’s an affordable and fun way to switch up fitness routines, while getting the most out of a day’s workout with that one-on-one incentive to sweat. See you out there!
