- Not sure which sense of virtual covers this (the trainer isn't "simulated in a computer"; he/she is a real person), and I think we need to add a sense there. But delete if such a sense is added, since you can also have virtual assistants, virtual PAs, and so on. Equinox ◑ 19:36, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
- I've added a sense: "Operating by computer or in cyberspace; not physically present. a virtual assistant; a virtual personal trainer." Equinox ◑ 19:43, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. This sense of virtual can be used for any profession or service that is able to be offered online. — Ungoliant (falai) 19:59, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
- The sense added is a good catch. Accodingly, delete. DCDuring TALK 00:23, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
