Starting sports during a global pandemic

The place of sport among the French 

In France, 75% of French people engage in physical and sporting activity at least once a year.

During the two months of the first 2020 lockdown, 47% of practitioners exercised at home due to the inability to go to the gym.

The reopening of gyms in June 2020 therefore allowed the French to exercise freely and lose the extra pounds accumulated during the national isolation. From then on, a new passion was born! Indeed, thanks to this pandemic, the French rediscovered sport as well as the pleasure and benefits of practicing it. They "became aware that it was a real need".

Today, 16% of athletes are followed by a professional coach and 39% are interested in it.

A home sports coach? A possible alternative to the gym! 

Having a home sports coach presents a great number of advantages.

Indeed, the presence of a personalized coach allows the student to be the only one accompanied during the session. The trainer can therefore propose and prepare specific sessions according to the rhythm, level, and progress of the amateur. The professional can thus better focus on the development of a single member, unlike group practice. The student, in turn, will feel more confident thanks to the various advice given to them. 

Moreover, home sports coaches are perfect for people who do not find the time to go to the gym or who do not have a gym nearby due to lack of transportation... Offering their home allows having a professional available every day and maintaining a constant training frequency. They will be there to motivate you and help you maintain a regular physical activity. 

Finally, the presence of a home educator allows you to avoid going to the gym. Thus, you can take the necessary precautions in the face of the health crisis we are experiencing. Train at home without having to disinfect all the machines and without being confronted with several people without masks. And especially without having to wait for someone to finish an exercise before starting yours!

ToitChezMoi as a response to these needs

ToitChezMoi can then be an interesting alternative. Indeed, the platform allows the sharing of housing in exchange for presence or services. Leader in housing for services, the site connects Hosts with available rooms and a need for services with Supportive Cohabitants offering their help in exchange for accommodation.

Thus, the coach and the person who wishes to do sports at home both find an advantage in this concept. On one hand, the coach can stay for free at the person's home, providing sports sessions. On the other hand, the athlete benefits from a coach always present at home, who can help them improve and progress.

ToitChezMoi reconciles everyone's needs in a spirit of solidarity and sharing.
