Editor’s note: This article was first published in February 2011. It is a company profile from that time: Entrenatech’s services, Skype-based contact and the price ‘from 25 euros a month’ reflect then, and the company may no longer operate.
This innovative business idea, Entrenatech, comes to us from Granada. Its founders noticed some time ago that although the personal trainer business was set to be one of the businesses of the future, until then nobody had used new technologies to combine with personalized training, at least in Spain.
The company has developed software that works on computers as well as on all kinds of mobile devices, and clients can also talk to their trainers via Skype.
Its clientele is remarkably varied: from people preparing for the firefighter or police entrance exams to individuals who want to lose weight, tone up or build muscle, plus a range of services for hotels and companies that want to give their employees the chance to unwind with the right program.
Users tell them what they need, and the trainers send them the exercises or the program that suits them best. Workout charts and audio files can be downloaded, so users can train whenever and wherever they choose.
And all at a good price: these personal training plans start at €25 a month.
