Online personal training with Grace Fargen

Online training with Grace is built for people who want expert programming without needing to be in the same room. Sessions typically run between $45 and $75, making it an accessible entry point for functional fitness coaching.

Grace holds a B.S. in Kinesiology from UNR, where she studied exercise programming, movement analysis, and how to adapt training for different populations. That academic foundation, combined with her hands-on experience in physical therapy clinics, shapes how she coaches remotely. She knows how to break down movement mechanics clearly, even when she is not physically adjusting your form.

Online training with Grace is a strong fit if you:

Travel often or have an unpredictable schedule
Prefer training from home or a local gym on your own time
Want expert guidance on functional fitness without commuting
Are comfortable following video demonstrations and coaching cues

Because Grace's approach centers on functional movement, an online format still allows her to program effectively for strength, mobility, and everyday movement quality, all key parts of her training philosophy.

In-person personal training with Grace Fargen in Reno

For clients who want hands-on coaching, Grace also offers in-person sessions in Reno. Pricing ranges from $75 to $150 per session depending on your needs and program structure.

In-person training allows Grace to apply the injury prevention and rehabilitation insight she gained working in physical therapy clinics as both an intern and a technician. She has experience coaching a wide range of people, from young athletes to older adults managing injuries or mobility limitations. In person, she can watch your movement patterns closely and adjust in real time, which is especially valuable if you are working around an injury or learning new lifting mechanics.

In-person training with Grace is a strong fit if you:

Are recovering from an injury or managing mobility limitations
Want real-time feedback on form and technique
Are new to structured strength training or Olympic weightlifting movements
Value the accountability of a scheduled, face-to-face session

Grace does not currently list a dedicated home gym, so in-person session logistics and location details are best confirmed directly through her Atlas profile.

Key differences and what to expect

The biggest differences between the two formats come down to feedback, cost, and flexibility.

Feedback and coaching cues
In person, Grace can physically demonstrate and correct movement as it happens. Online, coaching relies on video review, verbal cues, and clear programming, still effective, but more self-directed.

Cost
Online sessions ($45 to $75) are generally more affordable than in-person sessions ($75 to $150). This makes online training a practical option if budget is a primary factor.

Consistency and accountability
In-person sessions create a fixed commitment in your week. Online training requires more self-motivation, but offers more scheduling freedom.

Best use cases
Grace's functional fitness focus works well in both formats. However, clients dealing with injuries, mobility issues, or those newer to structured training often benefit most from the hands-on correction in-person sessions provide.

Which option is right for you

There is no universal right answer here. It depends on your goals, budget, and how you learn best.

Choose online training if you want flexibility, a lower price point, and are comfortable following programmed workouts with periodic check-ins.

Choose in-person training if you want direct feedback, are working through an injury or mobility limitation, or simply train better with someone in the room holding you accountable.

Some clients also start in person to nail down form, then transition to online sessions once they feel confident training independently. Grace's background in physical therapy and kinesiology means she can support either path.
