## How this differs from in-person personal training

- In person: you pay by the hour, and the trainer stands next to you. Between sessions you train alone, with no feedback.
- Online with Pete: you pay by the month. You get a plan for your own week, from Performance up with a check-in every week and chat.
- Pete has no team and no assistants. He writes every plan and answers every check-in himself.

## How it works

1. A free 15-minute call on the phone, or book straight away.
2. After booking you fill in the onboarding form, right on the website or later through the link in your email. Pete sets up your account in the Body Control app.
3. Starting assessment (from Performance up): training history, pain, limitations, available time, equipment, starting numbers.
4. A check-in every week, and Pete replies in writing (from Performance up).
5. A rebuilt plan every 4 weeks (from Performance up).
