I can never go back to full-time Personal Training after this email 😂

• The coaches are in ridiculous shape—they are the worst coaches. Just because they know how to coach themselves well doesn’t mean they can coach others well.
  Genetically gifted humans haven’t been through the same hardship you are going through right now.

• The hour they spend with you each gym session makes up less than 1% of your time working on your health a fitness each week.
  (This means you are paying out a premium for something you need the least help)

• The exercise side of fat loss is less important compared to food, sleep, habits etc
  (and most personal trainers don’t help you with food)

• You are their 10th client of the day. They are dead on their feet, CBA, and they cannot wait to get home.

• If the PT is not following a personalised programme that has been written for you - you are doing the same workout as the previous 8 clients before you.
  Because they are too lazy to spend the time outside of the workout planning

• Most PTs are training you because they need the money. They know another PT in the gym that is a better fit for you and your goals.

I was a PT for 6 years doing 30+ hours of face-to-face coaching a week.

I've seen the best and the worst side of the industry.

My summary is this:

Personal training is for people who want help with the training side of things because alone you won't push yourself or make time for training alone. (mostly because of their lack of confidence and routine.

Face-to-face coaching should be a luxury for people who already understand and are progressing with their habits, nutrition, and lifestyle. Then, having a meeting with an expert is the 1% cherry on top that isn't essential for results.

If you are a beginner you will be better off with an online coach. Someone who will take you through the steps beginners need to take

Nutrition, routine, sleep, joining the right gym etc.

An online coach has no agender to join their gym or to do more expensive 1 to 1 sessions.
They want the best for you in the cheapest most effective way for the longest time.

Instead of hiring a PT because you are lacking confidence and knowledge

Hire a coach (me 😂)

I've almost done equal time face to-face (6 years) to online (5 Years)

All of my best & longest-lasting results with clients have been online.
