That makes a lot of sense to me! I’m on the market for a PT to finally iron out that belly and look good in my swimming trunks. Any tips and good practices on how to choose a good one? (not online, in a actual IRL gym)

Cut. Skip meals. That's all there is to it.

  Improving diet is only a part of the equation. Highly recommend consistent resistance training with some cardio. 3-4x a week for about an hour is OK. Resistance training is actually better for consistently losing weight in the medium/long term vs straight cardio.

    You can "get abs" simply by rolling 72hr fasts with no physical activity, and easier, because you won't be as hungry since you weren't swimming/whatever for an hour.

Ask your primary care physician. They should know reputable individuals who can help. No bias, no connections.

I develop apps for PT's. From my point of view their skill is irrelevant. Almost all know how to make a good enough schedule and diet plan. It's pretty basic info. Or you can ask Chat GPT to make one. Or buy one online for 20 dollars. They are all similar. The reason you want a PT is to keep you motivated & accountable. So most important is if you trust the PT, like him or her and will take it seriously if they hold you accountable (and the way they do it). And in some cases if you want to start doing complex & heavy lifting it's important to have one showing you the correct movements. Regarding heavy lifting it's not necessary, and would not get into super heavy lifting since it's very injury prone. On this level I strongly disagree with a lot of Pt's. They end up having most people do deadlifts. Which is just not worth the risk vs reward, let alone things like snatches. Medium-heavy squats & bench is enough for most people. I personally just bought a bench, barbells, put some rings in the ceiling, got a pare of dumbbels, and a kettlebell. Enough for training and saves me hours a week not having to go to a gym.

  Do you develop bespoke apps? Curious if you could talk about the biz model?

    Not really bespoke. Have a tool that can drag /drop most native apps together. Focused on fitness & yoga atm. It's pretty flexible but wouldn't call it bespoke. Main market is trainers with a larger online following. Smaller an off the shelf app is also fine.
