Full FeediTrain - your own personal trainer
Always wanted a personal trainer but just couldn’t shell out the extra $50 per workout? What if getting a personal trainer was as easy as making a new playlist in iTunes?
A new addition to the iPod craze has spawned - the iTrain, it allows users to download personalized workout information straight to their MP3 player. Workout choices include: iTrain, iClimb, iTread, iCycle, and iStrength, for other options visit their website. A yearly workout package runs for $49.99, a monthly for $9.99, or if you’d like, get a sampler for under $1.00 per workout.
Now while this won’t get you to the gym, it may help you stay there longer and for much cheaper than a personal trainer.

Hi there,
I see the convenience of this but I’m not sure how this compares to a real personal trainer at all. The advantages of a personal trainer as oppose to an electronic device are numerous. These are the two main advantages of a Personal Trainer.
1) Human interaction connects at a deeper emotional level and hence, encourages and motivates the client a lot more.
2) A Personal Trainer can create a customized plan, made specific to the needs of the client. This gadget seems to have differently programmed personalized settings but they are still very limited.
Finally, I understand this is quite an economical and convenient alternative. I hope it is worth the investment, even if it is just for fun.
Thanks,
Sarah.
