How many people do you know who say things like, "I was really fit, once…" and "I had a personal trainer, once…". Quite a few? Well, you can count me as one of them if you like.

I used to go to a fabulous gym in Highgate - really friendly, great facilities, etc., etc. The only problem was that I didn't really make the most of it until I hired a personal trainer. The problem with that was, of course, the expense.

The cost of hiring a Lycra-clad taskmaster to get you into shape can be prohibitive and that's where this clever little site comes in.

For a monthly subscription, which pales into insignificance compared to the cost of a real-life trainer, they'll send you MP3 or MP4 training sessions to keep you motivated. You simply load these onto your media player and you've got your very own pocket-sized personal trainer.

Judging by the free samples (which anybody can try) they really know their stuff and even include a funky soundtrack to help you keep appropriate rhythms while you workout.

This is a great idea, well presented and I think it could be a huge success.
