Questions before you apply
What is the difference between the Custom Plan and Monthly Coaching?
The Custom Plan is a one-time build: full intake, an eight-week program, a nutrition framework and one revision call after week two. Monthly Coaching is the ongoing version, with weekly check-ins, form feedback on your videos, plan adjustments and direct message access.
Do I need a gym to be coached online?
No. Every plan is built around the equipment you have, from a full commercial gym to a pair of dumbbells and a doorway bar. The intake asks exactly what you own, and the exercise library shows the form for each movement.
How does the application work?
You fill in one form, about ten minutes, with a health screen. I read it and tell you straight which plan fits, including when the answer is the free program. Approved applications get a payment link. Nothing is charged before that.
Can I cancel monthly coaching?
Yes, any time, from the subscription itself. Your rate stays the same for as long as your membership is active; if you leave and come back, the current rate applies.
Not sure which fits?
Apply anyway. The application asks what you're looking for, and I'll tell you straight which plan actually fits your situation. No upsell games.
