Abstract

To assess the perceived impact of online fitness training on health, lifestyle-related behaviors, and well-being in Indian women. A cross-sectional online survey was distributed through an Indian-based online fitness training organization. A questionnaire (google form) was designed to investigate the perceived impact of online fitness training on lifestyle-related behaviors, stress, and well-being. The majority of the 246 women (18–52 years, M=38.7) who participated in the online fitness training program and answered the survey were housewives (47.7%), married (88.6%), and postgraduate students (51.62%). Participants reported significantly higher rates of positive impact of online fitness training on health behaviors.  96.34% of women reported that the motivational factor for joining online fitness training was to lose weight. In addition, other reasons reported by the study population were general wellness (72.35%), and stress management (81.70%). Only 22.76% of participants reported that they started online fitness training as a hobby and as a time pass. The majority of them reported the positive impact of online fitness training on body shape (68.29%), weight management (76.82%) gastrointestinal issues (71.54%), mental issues (49.86%), and sleep issues (43.02%). The findings of the present study were consistent with surveys in Western countries. Online fitness training was perceived to have a positive impact on physical and mental health conditions and was linked with a positive impact on overall well-being and health.
