FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about coaching, the Audit, and the programs. Still have one? Email directly.
How does 1:1 coaching actually work?
You get a fully custom training program built around your actual numbers, not a generic template, delivered and tracked through Trainerize. Every tier includes regular check-ins, so the program keeps adjusting to how you're actually responding instead of staying fixed for 12 weeks regardless. Full tier-by-tier breakdown is on the Coaching page.
What's the difference between the Audit and coaching?
The Training & Physique Audit is a one-time, $45 review of your current program and physique, no ongoing commitment. Coaching is the ongoing relationship: a custom program plus regular check-ins and adjustments. A lot of people start with the Audit to see how this works before committing to coaching.
Which coaching tier should I pick?
Essential is built for self-motivated people who want a real program and structured weekly oversight. Premium adds more active, reactive guidance (biweekly calls, faster response times). VIP is the highest-touch option, direct access and real-time adjustments. Exact details and pricing for all three are on the Coaching page.
Is this for beginners or advanced lifters?
Coaching works for any level, the program gets built around where you actually are. The premade programs split by level instead: SEHT is deliberately built for advanced lifters only, it trains through a more demanding stretched position that assumes a base of trained tissue tolerance. The free Foundational Programs are built specifically for beginners or anyone getting back into training after time off.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, with one real condition: pay 3 months upfront on any coaching tier and you're covered, cancel within the first 14 days and get every dollar back, no questions asked. Month-to-month billing is available on any tier too, but doesn't carry the guarantee, that's the honest tradeoff.
What's the difference between a premade program and coaching?
A premade program (SEHT, or the free Foundational Programs) is a complete, fixed plan you follow on your own. Coaching includes that same evidence-based approach, plus an actual person checking in and adjusting the plan as you go. Neither is better in general, it depends on whether you want ongoing adjustment or just a solid plan to run with.
Do you provide nutrition guidance?
Every coaching tier includes real macro guidance, general targets in Essential, scaling up to full dining-out and travel guidance at higher tiers. Exact detail per tier is on the Coaching page.
Is any of this medical advice?
No. Everything here, articles, programs, and coaching, is general fitness education, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. See the Health & Fitness Disclaimer for the full detail before starting anything.
How do I actually get started?
For coaching or the Audit, head to the Coaching page, every tier (and the Audit) has its own clear next step there. Premade programs are listed on the Programs page, check there for current availability.
What research is this actually based on?
Every claim made across this site is backed by real, cited research, not just opinion or whatever's trending. The full citation list is browsable in the Research Library, grouped by subject, with a short honest summary of what each study actually found.
