this is where the 2 differ. I dont see online training as something you can do with complete beginners. Its just not going to be very effective. Pure beginners need coaching and for someone to teach them the correct way to lift. Guys and gals that have been at it a while, know the basics etc sometimes just need some guidance.

For instance. I am working with a young guy right now. He just lost a ton of weight via PSMFing. He knows how to lift, but is still in the newbie stage in terms of strength and LBM. He is smart and educated. He knows what works and what doesnt. However he lacks the confidence to put it all to good use. Therefore he has turned the thinking over to me. I just write out his diet and workouts for him.
