I really enjoyed using the Papayya!
‍
I really enjoyed using Papayya. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. The sessions were personalized to meet my needs. The trainer was very friendly and helpful. She gave me feedback on how to make improvements. Although I was not sure if I would be able to complete the exercises, my trainer let me workout at my own pace.

I would absolutely recommend Papayya, 10/10!
‍
I was surprised to say that I found the online training more effective than in person sessions I’ve had (...) My Papayya trainer Louis has real in depth background and was able to spot within the first assessment some physical imbalances that have caused me pain and discomfort for years. That definitely exceeded what I though was possible with online sessions.

At almost 42, I can confidently say that I am in the best shape of my life, thanks to Papayya.
‍
I have been using the Papayya online personal training service for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Louis, my trainer, takes the time to understand my fitness objectives and designs personalized workout plans that challenge me while ensuring I remain injury-free. His expertise and attention to detail have allowed me to take my workouts to the next level. The convenience of having a dedicated trainer who can adjust my routines based on my progress and needs has been a game-changer.

I was very impressed that an online trainer can do so much, this truly exceeded my expectations.
‍
I highly recommend Papayya online personal training for its convenience and excellent service. I found my trainer to be very professional, qualified and knowledgeable. I have been a member of several gyms and had sessions with personal trainers in the past, but this was the first one to immediately identify imbalances that I’ve been having due to my desk job and that have been causing me pain and discomfort for years.

Papayya has been life-changing!

love working out 3 times per week with Louis! He is warm, kind, motivating and makes exercise fun. He is a great listener and makes sure to understand my goals and challenges. I feel so good about finally exercising regularly, and I can see a lot of progress.

Exceeded every expectation and confident I made the right choice.
‍
Been wanting to get beyond my Peloton and ramp up my exercise program but as someone self employed in an international company that works round the clock it's just not possible to keep a stabile work out routine. Papayya's flexibility in scheduling and a vast selection of trainers ensured there's always availability so I decided to give it a shot. Exceeded every expectation and confident I made the right choice.

It's a great way to work with a personal trainer from the comfort from your home!
‍
I had a wonderful first experience with Papaya. I love the pricing, it's extremely affordable making personal training more accessible especially for older people who may not be able to leave their homes. What I liked the most was the initial evaluation of posture and gait. I've never had any trainers do that previously

A great work out session that goes at your pace!

You don't have to leave your home for a knowledgeable personal trainer. You get to chose the length of your sessions and the trainer was very nice and knowledgeable.

Papayya is an excellent choice
‍
My trainer was very engaging and showed expertise of the program. He showed me clear instructions to ensure I was exercising effectively and safely. Also, because of our busy schedules, Papayya would be perfect because you can work out anytime and anywhere. Sticking to your workout routine would be a lot easier.

Its a great online fitness platform. I was pretty impressed.
‍
Mostly, I liked the flexibility in scheduling the session which can easily fit in your day. The virtual trainer was as effective as the physical one and I would even say, it was much better. She had in depth knowledge about both fitness and nutrition required for maintaining healthy lifestyle. My trainer pointed out the posture mistakes I was doing while exercising.

Papayya exceeded my expectation!
‍
Papayya is essentially tele-training. You interact with a live personal trainer through a video call. The workout was a little under an hour, but it really pushed me to the limits. More importantly, I learned that my form was incorrect for some of the exercises I do every day!
I think Papayya is an excellent idea executed with high quality.

Papayya Online Personal Training FAQs

How does Papayya keep you accountable?

Papayya keeps you consistent by turning every workout into a live appointment. You book a 30, 45 or 60-minute session at a time that suits you, get a link by SMS or email, and train 1-on-1 on video with a certified trainer who watches your form, sets the pace and adjusts the workout as you go. Across 266 clients, Papayya reports 90% session attendance and 65% retention after 12 months. If life gets busy, you can pause your subscription instead of quitting.

Is virtual personal training worth it?

Absolutely!
But don’t just take our word for it, check out what real people are saying on Reddit: Virtual Personal Trainer Reviews

Icon - Elements Webflow Library - BRIX Templates

Is a live online personal trainer better than a fitness app?

For accountability and form, usually yes. Papayya sessions are live 1-on-1 video calls, so your trainer watches every rep, corrects your form in real time and adjusts the workout as you go. Many online coaching apps send a weekly plan, then check in by message or review recorded videos later. With Papayya, every session is a scheduled appointment with a real person, and across 266 clients Papayya reports 90% session attendance and 65% retention after 12 months. Every trainer is a vetted member of the Papayya team, not a marketplace profile.

What if I fall off track or life gets busy?

Papayya is built for busy weeks. You can book live sessions 24/7, in any time zone, and train from home with no equipment, so a hectic week doesn't have to mean a missed workout. If you need a real break, you can pause your subscription at any time and for any length instead of cancelling, and come back when you're ready. Your current price is kept on return only if you meet Papayya's price-retention conditions.
