How would I use BodyMonster exclusively for training clients online. How would that work?
Your BodyMonster program will provide your clients with everything they need to workout with you through the Internet.

You may provide your own tips, exercise descriptions and much more. All they have to do is sign-up with you and then they simply log-in to your BodyMonster profile to access everything they need to train online. You create their profile, their login information is sent directly to your client with username and password. We recommend using PayPal to set-up your payment processing. It is very quick and there are no set-up fees.
