Honest comparison
The Executive Reset vs hiring an in person personal trainer
Both get results. One fits a packed calendar and a travel schedule. Here is how The Executive Reset, 8 weeks of online personal training for $497, stacks up against weekly sessions with an in person trainer.
The short answer
- Price: The Executive Reset is $497 one time. Weekly in person sessions in NYC often pass $1,000 over 8 weeks.
- Schedule: online training happens at any hour that suits you. In person training needs fixed weekly slots.
- Travel: your online program includes travel workouts. In person sessions pause every trip.
- Verdict: if your calendar is full, online coaching wins. If you want a coach beside you every rep, hire in person.

The honest part
When in person wins.
Online coaching is not for everyone. Hire an in person trainer if you are returning from an injury and need trained eyes on every rep, if you know you will not train without an appointment on the calendar, or if you simply love the energy of training beside someone. The best program is the one you actually do.
If none of that is you, and your problem is a calendar that never clears, The Executive Reset was built for exactly that.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is online personal training as effective as in person training? +
For most goals, yes. Strength, mobility, and conditioning respond to a good program done consistently, and consistency is where online coaching wins for busy people. What you lose is a live eye on every rep, which matters most when returning from injury.
How much does a personal trainer cost in New York City? +
One on one sessions in New York City often run $100 to $200 each. At one session a week, 8 weeks can pass $1,000 fast. The Executive Reset is $497 one time for the full 8 weeks, program, video library, and check ins included.
What do I lose without a trainer in the room? +
Immediate form correction and the push of a live session. The Executive Reset covers the gap with a video movement assessment up front, demo videos for every exercise, and two video check ins to review your form and progress.
Can I switch from in person training to online coaching? +
Yes, and many clients do once they know the basic lifts. The movement assessment at the start shows your coach exactly where your form stands, so nothing you learned is lost.
Skip the fixed appointments. Keep the coach.
