ONLINE FITNESS CLASSES FOR SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS
Live and Guided Online Training Sessions Inside Our 12 Week Online Personal Training Programme
Online fitness classes allow you to train from home while still receiving structure, guidance, and accountability. At Mind-Body Training, our online fitness classes are not random workouts or follow-along videos. They are structured, coached training sessions designed to support fat loss, strength, confidence, and long-term consistency for women in Ireland.
These classes form one core feature of our 12 Week Online Personal Training Programme, alongside mindset coaching and nutrition support.
This page explains how our online fitness classes work, who they are for, and how they fit into a complete transformation system.
WHAT WE MEAN BY ONLINE FITNESS CLASSES
Online fitness classes inside of our 12 Week Online Transformation Programme are live, coached strength training sessions delivered remotely.
They are designed to remove the common barriers that prevent working mams across Ireland from exercising consistently, such as time pressure, gym anxiety, or not knowing what to do.
Rather than pre recorded workouts or generic follow along videos, these sessions are led in real time by Coach Alan who guides technique, pacing, and progression.
This means you can train from home while still receiving structure, feedback, and reassurance.
The focus is on building confidence and competence in movement, not pushing to exhaustion.
These online fitness classes prioritise:
-
Live coaching rather than pre recorded workouts
-
Proper technique and safe movement
-
Building confidence through repetition
-
Focusing on consistency over intensity
WHY ONLINE FITNESS CLASSES WORK
FOR WEIGHT LOSS
Weight loss rarely fails because exercise “doesn’t work.” More often, it fails because exercise feels inconvenient, overwhelming, or unsustainable.
Online fitness classes can reduce this friction.
They remove commuting time, lower the psychological barrier to starting, and make it easier to show up consistently, even on busy weeks.
When training is easier to attend, it happens more often. And consistency, far more than intensity, is what drives long term fat loss.
Training from home can also reduce self consciousness, which improves adherence, especially for women rebuilding confidence with exercise.
Online fitness classes support weight loss by:
-
Making training more accessible and convenient
-
Reducing gym anxiety and intimidation
-
Supporting consistent weekly exercise
-
Fitting into real life routines
THE EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING BEHIND THIS NUTRITION APPRAOCH
These online fitness classes are designed and coached by Coach Alan, an ITEC qualified personal trainer with over nine years of experience helping women improve fitness, lose weight, and build sustainable routines.
Alongside his work in fitness, Alan has completed four years of professional psychotherapy training with the Irish Institute of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IICP) and is currently awaiting full qualification.
This combined background strongly shapes how the classes are delivered.
The approach considers not just physical progression, but also the psychological factors that influence consistency, confidence, and motivation.
The aim is not short-term enthusiasm, but long term behaviour change.
This background informs the classes through:
-
A focus on adherence rather than motivation alone
-
Awareness of confidence, stress, and self belief
-
A calm, client-centred and supportive coaching style
-
Ethical, sustainable training principles
Disclaimer: Coach Alan does not provide clinical counselling or psychotherapy to personal training clients, and maintains clear, ethical boundaries between both roles. His personal training service is informed and supported by his psychological background, and only focuses on mindset issues related to behaviour change, lifestyle, nutrition and exercise sustainability.
HOW THE CLASSES ARE STRUCTURED INSIDE THE PROGRAMME
The online fitness classes are delivered as part of the 12 Week Online Personal Training Programme and follow a clear, progressive structure.
Sessions are on Monday-Friday with 6.30 am, 10.00 am and evening slots to choose from.
They typically last between 20 and 30 minutes and focus on full body strength training. Movements are repeated and refined over time so you can build skill, strength, and confidence gradually, rather than constantly starting from scratch.
If a week does not go to plan due to stress, illness, or time pressure, the programme adapts rather than collapsing.
The aim is sustained engagement, not perfect execution.
This approach has been particularly effective for women across Ireland who need flexibility without losing structure.
Class structure includes:
-
Short, focused sessions that fit busy schedules
-
Full body strength based workouts
-
Gradual progression rather than random exercises
-
Flexibility when life gets busy
While this page focuses primarily on the online fitness class aspect of our 12 Week Programme, the video below will provide you with a full breakdown of the whole programme, including the nutrition coaching and mindset coaching components.
STRENGTH TRAINING RATHER THAN RANDOM CARDIO
These online fitness classes prioritise strength training rather than purely cardio based or high intensity workouts.
This is particularly important, as all of our clients across Ireland are busy mams between the ages of 35-55, which means they are either entering menopause or already in it.
Strength training supports weight loss by preserving muscle mass, improving physical capability, and increasing overall energy expenditure over time.
It can also build confidence, which plays a major role in long term adherence.
Rather than chasing calorie burn in a single session, the goal is to build a foundation that supports fat loss, health, and injury prevention.
Strength focused training helps by:
-
Supporting fat loss while preserving muscle
-
Improving functional strength and confidence
-
Reducing injury risk compared to unstructured training
-
Encouraging long term consistency
WHY STRUCTURE AND PROGRESSION MATTER IN ONLINE TRAINING
Many online fitness classes fail because sessions are disconnected or designed to feel hard rather than effective.
Without structure or progression, people often plateau, lose confidence, or stop attending altogether.
Inside our 12 Week Online Personal Training Programme, online fitness classes follow a progression model.
Movements are repeated, strength is increased gradually, and sessions build on one another over time.
This makes progress easier to notice, reduces injury risk, and improves long-term engagement.
Structured progression means:
-
Repeating and refining key movements
-
Gradually increasing intensity at a manageable pace
-
Measuring progress through capability, not exhaustion
-
Building confidence session by session

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Fitness Classes
When do the online fitness classes run?
Online fitness classes run Monday to Friday, with multiple time options to suit different schedules. Current class times include 6.30 am, 10.00 am, and evening slots. This range allows you to train before work, during the day, or in the evening, depending on what fits best with your routine.
How long do the online fitness classes last?
Each online fitness class lasts 20 to 30 minutes, making them easy to fit into busy days.
After each session, there is also the option to complete a short 5 to 10 minute guided mindfulness or meditation practice, designed to help you calm the nervous system and switch out of work or stress mode.
What if I cannot attend a live online fitness class?
If you cannot make it to a live session, you will have access to backup self directed sessions through the app.

Do I need any equipment to take part?
Most online fitness classes can be completed at home with minimal equipment, and suitable alternatives are provided where needed.
If you do have basic equipment available, such as dumbbells or resistance bands, these can be used, but they are not required to get started. The focus is on safe, effective movement rather than having a fully equipped home gym.
