Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.77,0:00:21.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can a fitness app, and maybe \Na calorie counter do the job?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.10,0:00:23.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or should you go old school \Nand get a real personal trainer?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.26,0:00:26.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I decided to find out.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.50,0:00:30.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm launching a month-long \Nfitness challenge,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.54,0:00:33.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,comparing an app called Fitstar, \Nwhich does personal training,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.45,0:00:36.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and counting my calories \Nwith MyFitnessPal
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.28,0:00:39.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Going up against Fitstar is Alison.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.00,0:00:44.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she'll also help me create\Na nutrition plan.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.31,0:00:47.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll evaluate which trainer keeps me \Nmost motivated, accountable,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.61,0:00:49.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and which works best for me \Nin the long run --
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.90,0:00:52.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and of course, \Nwhich one kicks my butt the most.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.59,0:00:55.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(exercising music)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.85,0:00:57.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Alison Roessler) I never do \Ntwo workouts twice
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.72,0:00:59.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm always constantly changing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.78,0:01:01.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the different things \Nthat I throw at my clients,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.95,0:01:04.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the different stresses \Nthat I throw at them
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.10,0:01:07.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,throughout exercises,\Nbecause really, it'll get boring
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.26,0:01:09.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's not sustainable\Nif there's not enough variety.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.74,0:01:12.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Journalist pants; \NAlison says something inaudible)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.20,0:01:14.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Journalist) Alison seemed overwhelming\Nat first.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.27,0:01:16.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Her workouts were really scary,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.35,0:01:18.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she sent me home \Nwith tons of cardio homework
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.94,0:01:21.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this long food journal \Nthat was in a spreadsheet.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.36,0:01:24.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Plus, each session with her\Nis 100 bucks.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.13,0:01:26.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not sure I'm going to be able \Nto keep that up.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.53,0:01:29.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I just finished my first full session\Nwith Alison
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.66,0:01:31.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm sweaty and starving,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.46,0:01:36.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I've definitely underestimated\Nhow hard that workout was going to be:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.30,0:01:40.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was fantastic, but I'll clearly have\Nto up my game with Fitstar
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.03,0:01:42.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because Tony Gonzalez is no Alison
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.60,0:01:44.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Tony) Reverse shoulder-up
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.73,0:01:47.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Molly) Fitstar was easy and \Nconvenient from the get-go.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.55,0:01:50.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The app is free or $40 a year.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.49,0:01:52.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I chose the pay version \Nto get more work-outs
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.84,0:01:56.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I loved that you can do it anywhere:\Nno gear required.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.72,0:01:58.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is sustainable
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.55,0:02:01.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Dave Grijalva) It' like in a workout DVD\Nand the experience is very similar to that
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.42,0:02:02.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but different every time,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.57,0:02:04.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's different in the way that \Nit actually adapts to you.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.59,0:02:07.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We wanted the experience to feel authentic\Nand feel real,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.48,0:02:09.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we wanted to put real people on \Nthe screen,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.34,0:02:12.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and having Tony's personnality \Nthat really helps a lot.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.66,0:02:13.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Tony) Good job.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.03,0:02:16.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Molly) I like how the workouts \Ninclude a variety of strength and cardio
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.92,0:02:20.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can specify your fitness level\Nand rate each exercise
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.75,0:02:22.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of how hard it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.13,0:02:24.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I found that Fitstar did progress over time,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.22,0:02:26.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it didn't really push me as hard\Nas Alison did,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.70,0:02:30.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and even though it reminds me to work out,\Nit's still kind of easy to skip --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.57,0:02:33.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like, I totally ignored it \Nwhen I went on a vacation.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.39,0:02:36.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even though I kind of dreaded \Nmy workouts with Alison,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.03,0:02:38.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did not miss a single one.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.30,0:02:40.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Plus, she was able to modify \Nthose workouts
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.70,0:02:44.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for this kind of nagging foot injury \Nthat I have and that was great.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.03,0:02:48.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,She also held me very accountable\Nfor my food, my sleep and my stress.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.76,0:02:52.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Alison) I don't think that an app\Ncan take the place of human interaction.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.73,0:02:55.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that they can be positive\Npieces of the puzzle,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.88,0:02:57.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I don't think that it's going \Nto ever replace
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.79,0:02:59.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,working with a trainer 1 on 1.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.34,0:03:01.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Dave) You know, personal \Ntrainers provide a lot of things
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.09,0:03:02.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are really hard to do with software.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.64,0:03:06.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, what we're trying to do is \Nprovide that type of an experience,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.23,0:03:09.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a way that's accessible to everyone,\Nand really convenient.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.44,0:03:13.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Molly) When I started \Nthis challenge,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.05,0:03:14.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hadn't really worked out \Nin about a year.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.76,0:03:18.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if I were just getting started \Nwith only Fitstar and MyFitnessPal
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.65,0:03:23.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would see progress, but I might be slow\Nand I could get frustrated and give up.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.35,0:03:27.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alison was definitly a huge jump-start\Nin terms of getting back in shape,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.48,0:03:30.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but one month with her was $400.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.33,0:03:30.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ouch!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.08,0:03:33.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And ultimately, sticking \Nwith the workout plan
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.45,0:03:35.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is about creating good habits.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.16,0:03:37.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So while Alison kicked my butt \Nin the short term,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.50,0:03:40.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the long term, Fitstar is the one\Nthat fits into my life.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.68,0:03:43.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After that initial push, \Nthe app is where it's at.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.74,0:03:47.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(music)
