Just make sure to understand and clarify the expectations of the client and the limitations of the process.

Practically speaking, you're not really going to coach form online, even with video it ends up being all but unworkable due to the dynamics.

Best bet is to emphasize the points you can work with, ie the planning and structure of the routine, the nutrition, etc.

Also, the motivation factor. Yes, this has to be present as well in hands-on training, but because it's more of a self-starter thing when you're not actually there, you have to take into account that what they're doing may not be what you're telling them. At least in person if they don't do it you can react accordingly.

For all those reasons, make sure they understand that it's more of a consultancy than actual training.
