8. The method of claim 1, wherein the exercise program is displayed in connection with a schedule management application (scheduler).

9. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

transmitting a result for which the exercise program has been carried out or updated user information to the server; and

receiving an exercise program updated based on the result for which the exercise program has been carried out or the updated user information from the server and displaying the updated exercise program on the display of the terminal.

10. A method of allowing a terminal to provide an exercise program, the method comprising:

displaying one or more questionnaires received from a server on the display of the terminal;

transmitting a response to the one or more questionnaires and user information to the server;

receiving trainer information and exercise programs; and

displaying the received exercise programs on the display of the terminal,

wherein the trainer information is the information of a trainer determined based on the response to the one or more questionnaires, and

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the exercise program is displayed in connection with a schedule management application (scheduler).

15. A terminal, comprising:

a memory configured to store a plurality of trainer information lists received from a server and a trainer information list filtered out based on one or more determination elements from the trainer information lists;

a controller configured to determine at least one trainer from the filtered-out trainer information list by an input signal received at the terminal, and transmit information on the determined at least one trainer and user information to the server, and receive an exercise program associated with a specialty of the determined trainer and based on the user information; and

a display configured to display the plurality of trainer information lists, the filtered-out trainer information list and the received exercise program,

wherein the filtered-out trainer information list is acquired by selecting one associated with the one or more determination elements from the trainer information list on the terminal or acquired by transmitting information on the one or more determination elements to the server and receiving the filtered-out list transmitted by the server based on information on the one or more determination elements.
