Here are some key benefits to having pre-recorded exercise videos:

Targeting different time zones

Pre Recorded video allows you to target viewers depending on their time zones to make sure they are able to watch your videos. This will give you access to a much broader audience which you might miss out on when doing live streams and will help you maximize your reach.

Bonus tip: You can also live stream during your local peak audience time and then upload the pre-recorded version later to cover other time zones.

If there are people who still can’t make it at the designated stream time, simply make your virtual event on-demand.

Cost-effective

Pre-recorded videos will be cost-effective if you already have the tools to record the workout sessions. Live sessions are usually always more expensive than pre-recorded ones. If you're short on time or on a budget, pre-recorded sessions can save you a lot of money.

Accessibility

Your client even if living in Antarctica can view pre-recorded workout sessions at any time. Your clients will now no longer have an excuse to skip a workout by saying that they forgot which exercise they needed to do or that they didn't know how to do a specific exercise.

The pre-recorded exercise videos will make your client feel more comfortable when performing the exercise – and can even encourage them – because it’s possible to watch and re-watch the videos.

They can learn how to properly do the exercises without your actual presence which can save you a lot of time.

Leveraging Social Media

Pre-recorded videos are exploding on social media, and many people like to see and hear people talking about workouts done practically.

Approximately 81% of consumer internet traffic is through video content, with much of it being transferred from platform to platform. One of your goals as a fitness trainer can be to deliver and maintain services and this is just another reason why pre-recorded videos should be a part of your marketing strategy.
