There is no denying that the Coronavirus pandemic forced the fitness industry to evolve faster than ever.

Because of concerns regarding virus transmission and to enforce social distancing, gyms and fitness centers worldwide had to shut their doors. Buildings that used to be filled with sweat and endorphins transformed into ghost towns seemingly overnight.

Both clients and service providers had to adapt quickly to the situation. Physical fitness programs turned into virtual classes. Fitness apps and online coaching experienced a boom in user sign-ups. Gym-goers started investing in at-home workout programs to sustain their fitness journeys while complying with strict quarantine orders.

DeltaTrainer is one such fitness app that experienced unprecedented growth since the pandemic started. Its explosive 100% month-over-month growth rate during the last quarter paints a clear picture of just how popular it is among its clients.

And now, DeltaTrainer is looking to reach even more people with its newly minted partnership with the world’s largest gym chain, Anytime Fitness.

What is DeltaTrainer?

Founded by Matt Spettel, a Carnegie Mellon engineering alum, and Gabe Madonna, an MIT computer science graduate, DeltaTrainer leverages technology to build a personalized, responsive, and data-driven fitness experience for its users.

DeltaTrainer is the ultimate companion for anyone looking to supercharge their fitness journey in 2021. Through the service, you’ll get paired with a 1-on-1 remote coach who will develop and implement a personalized workout program for you depending on your current fitness level and personal goals.

The app makes use of a proprietary smart-watch motion AI that detects and records workouts as you complete them. The data gathered from your smart-watch is then sent to your coach, enabling them to provide live feedback on your form, pacing, and overall progress.

In a nutshell, it’s the closest thing you can get to having a personal trainer with you during a workout session without actually being physically together, making it an excellent fitness tool in these challenging times.

The best part? It delivers the same benefits of having a personal trainer at a fraction of the price!

Aside from receiving a customized workout plan from an experienced fitness professional, users also get to enjoy two video calls every month and unlimited messaging with their coach. 1-on-1 personalized training and unlimited messaging means all your concerns, questions, and suggestions will be answered and attended to for maximum results and the best user experience.
