Coaching FAQ’s
These are some of the most frequently asked questions. If your question is not here, please get in touch!
Q: I just want to “tone” is 1:1 coaching right for me?
A: Absolutely! "Toning" is essentially building muscle and reducing body fat, which my coaching program is designed to help you achieve. With the right combination of workouts and nutrition, you’ll get leaner, stronger, and more defined.
Q: Do I have to lift weights?
A: Lifting weights is highly effective for fat loss, muscle building, and overall health. Incorporating weights will maximize your results. However, your workouts will be customized to your preferences and goals, so we can also include body weight exercises, resistance bands, or other options if needed.
Q: What if I would rather not track calories?
A: Tracking calories is one of the most accurate ways to achieve fat loss and muscle gain. However, I can help you incorporate adaptations within that framework.
Q. What happens if I can’t stick to the plan 100%?
A. My 1:1 coaching is designed to fit real life. If you miss a workout or have an off day with nutrition, that’s okay. We’ll focus on consistency over perfection. I recommend aiming for 80%+ consistency to see results. But If you do struggle with this, we will work together to find a solution.
Q: Can I join if I don’t want to lose fat?
A: Definitely! 1:1 coaching isn’t just for fat loss, it’s designed to support a variety of goals. In your intake questionnaire, you’ll outline your priorities, whether it’s building strength, gaining muscle, or breaking through plateaus. I’ll then create a plan tailored specifically to your objectives.
Q. What equipment do I need for the workouts?
A. Since we’ll focus on weight training, access to weights is essential. Whether you workout at home or have full gym access, I’ll design a plan that suits your setup and goals.
Weights for home could include things like dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, resistance bands etc.
Q. How much weight can I expect to lose?
A. Results vary depending on your starting point, consistency, and goals. Most clients focus on fat loss, muscle gain, and improved body composition, not just the scale. Expect sustainable, measurable progress throughout the 12 weeks.
Q. What if I have an injury or physical limitation?
A. Your workouts will be fully customized to accommodate any injuries or limitations. We’ll focus on what you can do while keeping you safe.
Q. How do I track my progress?
A. You’ll track your workouts, body measurements, and progress photos in the Everfit app. We’ll review your progress weekly and make adjustments as needed.
Q: What if I’ve never done 1:1 coaching before?
A: No problem! 1:1 coaching with me is beginner-friendly and scalable to any fitness level. I’ll guide you every step of the way.
Q. Can I follow this program if I have dietary restrictions or preferences?
A: Absolutely! Tracking macros and calories gives you the flexibility to include the foods you enjoy while meeting your goals.
Q: How much time will I need to dedicate to 1:1 coaching?
A: This depends entirely on what is realistic for you. Workouts can be customized to fit your schedule, from as little as 2 sessions per week. Nutrition plans are designed for busy lifestyles.
Q. Can I pay in instalments?
A. Absolutely, PayPal pay in 3 is available through my website.
Q. What if I decide the program isn’t for me?
A. Please see my refund policy here.
Q. How is this different from other fitness plans?
A. 1:1 coaching isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s fully personalized to your goals, lifestyle, and preferences, with ongoing support to keep you on track.
Q: Can I continue after 4 weeks?
A: Yes! Monthly 1:1 coaching is available for ongoing support, progress tracking, and plan adjustments to keep you moving toward your goals.
Q. Do you coach clients in my country?
A. Yes! I am based in the UK, but as an online coach, I can coach clients worldwide. And many of my certifications are recognised worldwide.
Q. Do you give meal plans with online coaching?
A. I can provide a 1-day meal plan to guide you. These are given on request. Eventually, I want you to learn to choose your own foods.
Q. How do I know If you’re the right coach for me?
A. See the about me section on my site, and definitely get in touch If you’d just like to know more! The majority of my clients are men and women in their 30s and 40s who want to prioritise their health and rediscover themselves after years of putting themselves behind family obligations and work commitments.
Q. Do your workout programs include cardio?
A. This depends on the individual and your specific goals. If you are already quite active, for example, you're on your feet most of the day, you may not need any additional cardio. But If you are not very active (for example, you have a desk job) and your main goal is fat loss. I will set some achievable cardio goals.
Q. Can I lose fat and build muscle at the same time?
A. Although there are a small minority of people who can build muscle and lose fat at the same time, this will depend on many factors; such as how long you have been training and your current body composition. It may not be practical or possible for everyone. If you want to 'lose fat AND build muscle', we may need to prioritise one goal over the other.
Q. Do I have to weigh myself daily?
A. Daily weight fluctuations (particularly in women) are normal, so it helps for me to view your average weight rather than daily/weekly. For this reason, I do ask you to weigh yourself as often as possible. But If this is not something you are comfortable with, you will be asked for your preference In your welcome questionnaire and I will respect your choice.
Q. How does online coaching work?
A. After reviewing all the information you provide in your welcome questionnaire, I will begin writing your plans. How much support you require will vary from person to person, but I will make sure you get as much support at you need.
As well as tracking your food intake, you will track your activity and other metrics throughout the week. I will then use all of this data to assess your progress, set tasks, and/or make any suggestions/adjustments for the following week.
Q. How do weekly check-ins work?
A. Each week, I will ask you to complete a questionnaire to evaluate your progress. I will ask questions about your week, as well as looking at your tracking data in detail. I will then ask any follow-up questions I may have, and make any necessary adjustments or suggestions for the following week. This is all completed online.
I'm also available for support any time between 9am and 8pm GMT, 7 days a week.
Q. How do I renew?
A. The Everfit app will automatically remind you when It is time to renew. If you would like to purchase further weeks of coaching. You can either go through the website again and purchase further weeks, or we can go through PayPal / Bank Transfer. No need to complete the welcome questionnaire again unless you have had a break of 12 weeks or more. Please try to renew at least 3 days before your coaching ends so I can plan accordingly.
Q. What is your Refund and Cancellation Policy?
A. Please refer to my policy here.
Q. How do I contact you?
A. Email or Instagram is the quickest way to reach me.
