The key features of Fitness First Online are:

Nutrition - Choose from a range of delicious, nutritionally-balanced meal plans targeted to usersr energy needs, including recipes and meal ideas.
Tracking - Inspiring graphs and charts to track usersr progress towards their goals, including personal bests, weight management and body measurements.
PT Support - Allows a userâs Personal Trainer to monitor their training and nutrition diary to help them get better results.
When joining Fitness First Online, users will be asked a few questions about themselves including their training goals, height and current weight. From that information the site will determine the best style of exercise and menu programs to suit them.
The easy-to-follow training plans are customised to meet these training goals and there are currently four exercise programs to choose from:
1. Shape â for those trying to lose weight
2. Health â for those looking for optimum health
3. Strength â for those wanting to increase muscle and strength
4. Sport â those with a specific sporting goal in mind
From each of those goals users can select their fitness level â beginner, intermediate or advanced. Users programs will include video demonstrations and step-by-step instructions for more than 500 exercises.
Users will then be given a weekly menu which gives them a huge selection of tasty and healthy meal ideas as part of their personalised program. Each plan is designed to meet users personal energy needs, and comes with shopping lists for users to print before you head to the shops.
The next step is to use the site as a food and training diary. As users enter the food and drinks they consume, along with the activity they do, they are given immediate feedback on how they are tracking against your goals. This real time calculator gives a clear message of how the energy users put into their body and the energy they expend is helping them reach their target.
Other features include:
⢠Reminders about weigh-ins to stay on track;
⢠Weight loss charts;
⢠Nutrition graphs provide a macro-nutrient breakdown of your diet;
