Can I use HSA / FSA to train with Mywowfit? You might be eligible to pay for Mywowfit sessions using tax-free money in your HSA / FSA account. We have partnered with Truemed. Please fill in
the questionnaire to see if you are eligible and obtain the letter of medical necessity.
What gear do I need for my first session? You do not need much to start. Wear comfortable clothes and choose a safe space where you can stand, sit, step, stretch, and move comfortably. A chair, yoga mat, towel, resistance band, or light weights may be useful, but your trainer will adapt the session to what you already have.
We highly recommend using a laptop or tablet, especially at the beginning. A larger screen helps you see your trainer clearly and makes it easier for them to check your posture, balance, joint alignment, and full-body movement.
What if I don’t vibe with my trainer? The right trainer match matters, especially when you are dealing with arthritis, joint pain, flare-ups, or fear of making things worse.
If your first trainer is not the right fit, we will help you switch to another trainer at no additional cost. You can also combine trainers if different coaching styles support different goals, such as strength, mobility, balance, stretching, or arthritis-aware training.
Can I work out if I have an injury or special health needs? Most likely, yes — your training just needs to be adapted to your joints, symptoms, flare patterns, energy, and medical guidance. Mywowfit trainers are certified professionals, including NASM, ISSA, ACE, rehabilitation-focused, and corrective exercise specialists, and we can match you with a coach who understands how to modify workouts safely.
Your trainer can adjust range of motion, resistance, pace, impact, balance work, and exercise choice based on how your body feels that day. The goal is to help you build strength and mobility without pushing through unsafe pain.
If you have sharp pain, swelling, a severe flare, recent surgery, joint instability, numbness, dizziness, heart-related concerns, or any medical condition, please speak with your doctor or physiotherapist before starting. Mywowfit supports safe fitness training but does not replace medical care or physical therapy.
How does a trainer correct my form over Zoom? Will they see me well? Yes. During your live Zoom session, your trainer can watch your posture, joint alignment, balance, range of motion, pace, and full-body movement in real time.
They can adjust the exercise, reduce the range of motion, slow the tempo, lower the impact, or give you a safer variation if something does not feel right. For the best experience, use a laptop or tablet placed far enough away so your trainer can see your whole body clearly.
Can I join workouts from the gym? Yes. You can train from a gym if that is where you prefer to work out. Your trainer can adapt the session to the equipment available and help you use it safely.
You can also train from home with little or no equipment. For arthritis training, the most important thing is that your trainer can see your movement clearly and adjust the session based on how your joints feel that day.
Does online arthritis training really get results? Yes, especially when the session is live and adapted to your body. Your trainer can see how you move, correct your form, adjust exercises, and modify the session if your joints feel stiff, sensitive, or tired that day.
This is different from following generic workouts alone. You get real-time guidance, safer progression, and accountability instead of guessing what your joints can handle.
How much room do I need for a session? You only need a small open area where you can stand, sit, step, stretch, and move safely. Most arthritis-friendly sessions can be done in the space of a yoga mat.
Place your laptop or tablet far enough away so your trainer can see your full body. If your space is limited, your trainer will adapt the session.
What types of arthritis-friendly workouts can I do? Your sessions depend on your joints, symptoms, fitness level, flare patterns, and goals. Training may include gentle mobility, low-impact strength, balance work, stretching, core training, posture support, functional movement, and light resistance exercises.
Your trainer will adapt the session based on how your body feels that day — whether you need a gentler session during a flare-prone week or a progressive strength session when your joints feel more stable.
Are your trainers certified? Yes. Mywowfit works with certified trainers and movement professionals, including NASM, ISSA, ACE, corrective exercise specialists, rehabilitation-focused trainers, physiotherapists, Pilates instructors, yoga teachers, and strength and mobility coaches.
For arthritis training, we can match you with a trainer experienced in joint-friendly movement, low-impact strength, mobility, balance, pain-aware modifications, and safe progression.
How do I pick the right trainer if I’m not sure? We can help. Tell us about your arthritis diagnosis, affected joints, flare patterns, pain triggers, fitness history, schedule, and what you want to improve — strength, mobility, balance, walking, stairs, daily movement, or confidence.
Maria, our Head of Training, can help match you with a trainer whose background fits your needs. If the first match is not right, you can switch trainers for free.
I’ve tried arthritis exercises before. Why didn’t they work? Arthritis training often fails when the plan is too generic, too intense, too passive, or not adjusted around flare-ups. What works one week may feel wrong the next, and a fixed program cannot always account for that.
With Mywowfit, your trainer watches you live and adapts the session in real time. You get support with what to load, what to protect, when to slow down, and how to keep building consistency without starting over after every flare. Check out
our recent article to get more info.
What are the benefits of arthritis training? Arthritis-friendly training can help support strength, mobility, balance, posture, joint stability, daily function, and confidence with movement. It can also help you stay active without relying on guesswork or pushing through exercises that do not suit your body.
With 1-on-1 online coaching, your trainer adapts every session to your joints, symptoms, flare patterns, and goals, so you can build progress gradually and safely.
Is there an age limit to join? No. Arthritis training can be adapted for different ages, fitness levels, and starting points.
Your trainer can make the session gentle, mobility-focused, strength-focused, balance-focused, or more active depending on your joints, symptoms, comfort level, and goals.
What if I’m too busy to stick with the program? Online arthritis training is designed for busy schedules. You can train from home, the office, a hotel room, or wherever you have a stable internet connection and enough space to move safely.
Having a live trainer waiting for you also makes it easier to stay consistent than relying on exercises you plan to do “later.” Sessions can be rescheduled up to 12 hours in advance.
How much does online coaching cost? Start with a consultation or assessment so we can understand your arthritis symptoms, affected joints, flare patterns, training history, and the kind of support you need.
Live 1-on-1 Zoom workouts with a personal trainer start from $25 per session, depending on the package.
You can also choose a trainer-designed workout plan with everyday in-app text support from $158 per month, if that format fits your needs.
