What is Online PT UK?
Online PT UK is an online personal training app that coaches you through fat loss, muscle gain or maintaining your weight. It works out your daily calorie target, protein, step target and training days, then keeps you accountable with daily and weekly check-ins in a simple chat. It does the maths, so you just follow the numbers.
How much does it cost?
Each plan is a one-off payment with no subscription: 4 weeks for £20, 8 weeks for £35, 12 weeks for £50 or 16 weeks for £60. Your maintenance calories, protein and step targets are worked out for free before you choose a plan.
What do I need to use it?
A phone or smartwatch that tracks your calories and activity (steps and active calories), and a set of bathroom scales you can step on each morning. The app runs in your web browser, so there's nothing to download.
Is it for fat loss or muscle gain?
Both, plus maintaining your weight. The app suggests a goal from your current and goal weight, and you confirm or change it. Fat loss is capped at a safe 0.7 kg a week and muscle gain at about 0.25 kg a week, because faster gain is mostly fat.
How does it work day to day?
Log your food through the day by entering calories and protein. Each morning, check in with yesterday's totals, your steps, active calories and weight. Once a week, the weekly review averages your week and updates your targets. You can plan each week around events like holidays and nights out.
When does my plan start?
Your plan starts on the weekly check-in day you choose, which could be today. Any days before that are a free head start to practise logging and learn your protein target.
Does it work on more than one device?
Yes. Your progress is saved to your account, so you can log in on your phone, tablet or computer and pick up where you left off.
What happens when my plan ends?
You get a round-up of your whole programme. Your history stays in your account to look back on, and you can start a new plan whenever you're ready.
