Why Expats & Travelers Struggle With Fitness
Moving between the US, Europe, and UAE? Gyms aren’t always an option. Here’s what I hear from my remote clients:
“Time zones make live sessions impossible with my local trainer.”
“Grocery stores in Dubai don’t have the same foods as back home.”
“My hotel ‘gym’ is just a treadmill and dumbbells—how do I progress?”
The solution?
A flexible online coach who understands global lifestyles.
3 Must-Haves for Your Online Trainer (If You’re Overseas)
1. Time Zone-Friendly Scheduling
-
My EU clients train before work (6 AM CET).
-
US clients prefer lunch breaks (12 PM EST).
-
UAE clients train late evenings (after 8 PM GST).Look for: Coaches who offer 24-hour booking flexibility.
2. Culturally Adapted Nutrition Plans
-
Dubai clients need halal protein options.
-
European clients want local supermarket meal plans.
-
US clients need Trader Joe’s/Walmart-friendly guides.
Avoid: Trainers who give the same diet to everyone.
3. Equipment-Free Workout Options
-
Example: A client in Berlin only had resistance bands in their Airbnb. We adjusted.
Pro Tip: Ask your coach: “What if I only have a chair and water bottles?”
“But I Move Every Few Months—Can Online Training Work?”
Yes—if your trainer does these 3 things:
-
Progress Tracking Beyond Weight (Photos, strength benchmarks)
-
Quick Workout Swaps (Hotel gym? Home? Outdoor?)
-
Timezone-Optimized Check-Ins (No 3 AM calls!)
Case Study: My client Sarah (American in Dubai) lost 12kg in 4 months—using just a TRX strap in her apartment.
