Online Training
Online Personal Training from a Clapham Personal Trainer
I'm John Parlanti, a personal trainer based at 25 Northcote Road, Clapham Junction. Most of my clients train with me 1-to-1 at my studio. If you can't get to Clapham, or you would rather follow a structured plan in your own time, The Parlanti Method gives you the same weights-first approach to fat loss online.
The Process
How The Parlanti Method Works
- 1Choose your programme. Pick a 6, 8 or 12-week programme.
- 2Fill in a short questionnaire. Tell me about your goals, training experience, equipment and any injuries. I check your answers before I send your programme.
- 3Get your programme. You receive the programme for your level (beginner, intermediate or advanced), written by me, with 3 to 5 training days a week and every session built around push, pull and legs.
- 4Train and track in the app. Log your sessions and follow your progress. With Coached, you also get a weekly check-in with me.

Who This Is For
Online training suits busy adults who want fat loss and muscle through weights, and who prefer to train when and where it suits them.
Prefer Hands-On Coaching?
Who This Is Not For
If you want live coaching on every rep, with someone correcting your form in the room, my 1-to-1 sessions at my Clapham studio are the better fit. You can start with a free trial session.

About Your Coach
I'm John Parlanti, a personal trainer who has worked in the fitness industry since 2007. I know what it takes to turn things around because I've done it myself: I lost 20kg over four months by changing my training and nutrition, after years of letting my health slide. That experience is what led me to coaching, and it's the same weights-first approach I bring to every programme, whether you train with me in Clapham or follow The Parlanti Method online.
I'm fully qualified and hold:
- Level 3 Personal Training Diploma (Wellbeing Fitness Education Centre, accredited by ThinkTree Hub)
- Level 3 Sports Science qualification
- Level 2 Swimming Coach qualification (ASA (now Swim England))
- Indoor Cycling Instructor certification
- Full professional insurance

“I started training with John about 10 months ago, around three times a week, and it's been fantastic. Most importantly, I've had great results (peer- and girlfriend-reviewed, so it's legit). The workouts are always changing and never feel generic or repetitive. He gives genuinely useful advice on nutrition, technique, etc and what to do when you're away or don't have access to a gym. Unlike a lot of PTs, you never feel like he's just after your money. He actually cares... Highly recommend. 10/10 would use again.”
Richard W. · In-person client review
“Trained with Parlanti Fitness for 2 months and finally got my first unassisted pull-up. Sessions are properly structured and every week builds on the last. Managed to improve my squats as well even though my knee wasn't great when I started with John. Handy location just off Northcote Road, so easy to fit around work. Best PT I've had since I moved to Clapham.”

FAQs
Online Personal Training FAQs
How does online personal training work?
You choose a 6, 8 or 12-week programme and fill in a short questionnaire. I check your answers, then send you the programme I have written for your level. You follow it in the app, log your sessions and track your progress. Coached adds a weekly check-in with me.
How much does online personal training cost?
Programmes start at £119 for 6 weeks (Standard) and go up to £549 for 12 weeks with weekly check-ins (Coached). When you finish your programme, you can ask to continue with Lean for Life, by invitation, for £45.99 a month. In-person personal training at my Clapham studio is priced separately on my pricing page.
Is online personal training as effective as in-person?
It can be very effective if you follow the plan consistently, because fat loss and muscle gain come from progressive strength training. The difference is hands-on coaching. In-person, I correct your form rep by rep. Online, you rely on clear instructions and, with Coached, weekly feedback from me.
Do I need to go to a gym?
The plans are weights-based, so you will get the most from them with access to a gym. If you have limited equipment, tell me in the questionnaire and I will tell you honestly whether the programme is a good fit.
Can beginners do online personal training?
Yes. Every programme has beginner, intermediate and advanced versions, so you start at a level that suits you. Beginner plans are 3 training days a week.
How many days a week will I train?
Beginner plans are 3 days a week, intermediate plans up to 4 and advanced plans up to 5. Every plan is built around push, pull and legs sessions.
What if I have an injury or health condition?
Tell me about any injury or health condition in the questionnaire and I will check it before sending your programme. If I think online training is not right for you, I will tell you and refund you in full. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or are recovering from surgery, speak to your GP before you start. For complex injuries, in-person sessions in Clapham are usually a better fit.
What's the difference between Standard and Coached?
Standard includes your plan and app access. Coached adds a weekly check-in with me, where I review your progress and adjust your training.
Can I combine online training with in-person sessions in Clapham?
Yes. If you live near Clapham and want hands-on coaching, you can book a free trial session at my Northcote Road studio. Message me and I will talk you through how to combine the two.
What happens when my programme ends?
When you finish your programme, you can ask to continue with Lean for Life, by invitation, for £45.99 a month, with app access and ongoing progressive training plans. Cancel any time before your next payment date.
Can I get a refund?
You can cancel within 14 days of buying for a full refund, as long as I have not yet delivered your plan. Your plan is usually ready within 2 working days. When you buy, you ask me to start work straight away, and once your plan has been delivered you have received the service in full, so I cannot refund after that. This does not affect your legal rights if something goes wrong. If you are not happy, message me within 7 days of receiving your plan and I will adjust it for you.
