HOW IT WORKS
Progio helps you to extend your business, and leverage you time and personal training expertise to more clients. By utilizing Progio for your personal training business, you, the trainer, continue to do what you always do. You set up training programs for your clients and keep track of their progress during the training period. You make periodic assessments and adjust the client’s workouts. The only difference is that when your clients work out independently, you extend your services and become their “virtual” personal trainer through the Progio Training Companion.
Trainers can use our content partner websites, http://www.ptonthenet.com/ (PTN) and http://www.ptntraineronline.com/, to create custom workouts for clients. Using these tools is straightforward and sending your workouts to your clients is as easy to sending an e-mail.

You and Your Client |
Progio and PTN |
|
You schedule a client appointment and perform the client assessment. |
|
|
You create workout programs for your client using an online content provider such as ptonthenet.com or ptntraineronline.com. |
|
|
You send the workout program(s) to your client’s Progio Training Companion device by selecting the “Export to Progio” button on the ptonthenet.com or ptntraineronline.com websites. You simply fill out a short dialog with your client’s e-mail address, any comments and how long your client can keep the workout. |
PTN sends the workout to the Progio Server.
Progio works like e-mail. The Progio Server manages your client’s workouts, including images, videos, and detailed instructions and keeps the information until your client downloads the new workouts. |
|
Your Client receives an e-mail indicating that new workouts are available for download. |
PTN sends an e-mail to your client indicating that a new workout from you is available for download. |
|
Your Client connects the Progio Training Companion to his/her PC using the device’s USB cable; the new workouts will automatically download, similar to the process of downloading music onto your iPod from iTunes. |
Progio sends the workout(s) to your client as soon as he/she connects the device with the Progio Service. Each client is uniquely identified by the client’s e-mail address. |
|
Your Client is now ready to go and can follow your workout with detailed, step-by-step instructions available on his/her Progio Training Companion. |
|
|
You and Your Client meet periodically to reassess his/her condition, goals and to introduce new exercises. |
|
Note: For detailed instructions, please view the Progio Training Companion User Guide.
Please let us know if you are using an online tool or portal that currently does not support Progio. Progio is an open platform and content websites can easily integrate with Progio (see also: For Content Providers)
