Concerns #1 - My Online Coaching Program vs Other Online Weight Loss ‘Clubs’

by dailymuscle

Based on some of the top questions I’ve been receiving from my readers, I have come to realise that one of the top concerns that you may have about my Online Coaching Program is how it will compare to the others.

The most obvious answer to this, is that my Online Coaching Program is a 1-on-1 Coaching Program - which basically means that you, the individual, work directly with me to reach your goals. I will be your head coach and hold you by the hand and walk through this entire journey WITH you. This is not a ‘generic’, ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution that is pre-packaged and sold to you.

In fact, every client I undertake will be comprehensively screened, and assessed via a series of forms/questionnaires to determine the best workout program I can create for that individual. On top of that, the program will be adjusted as we progress to continuously bring the client results. Due to the amount of attention I need to give each client, I can only take in a MAXIMUM of 20 clients within each 90-day coaching period (other generic weight-loss clubs who ‘claim’ to give you personalised programs don’t limit the number of clients they take in - how is that possible?).

To sum these up for you, I have created a simple table which clearly outlines the benefits of my Online Coaching Program - and in this instance below, I’ve decided to compare it with a rater ‘popular’ online weight loss club that has just recently emerged and being heavily advertised over TV.

You be the judge…

Feature

A Popular ‘Loser’ Club

DailyMuscle 1-on-1 Online Coaching

Diary to record your meals

YES

Record your meals and food intake for self-tracking.

YES

Record your meals, food intake, and get direct feedback (alternative suggestions, what to cut out, reduce, add, etc) - from the head coach, ME.
Record your regular weigh-ins

YES

Weight loss & inches seems to be the only focus of the program.

YES

Focus is not only on weight-loss but also on improvements such as increased fitness levels, reduced stress levels, better sleep, increased energy levels at work, etc.
Add photos, comments on your progress

YES

As stated.

YES

Add photos and comments, and get direct feedback from me as you progress.
Menu Plans

YES

Selection of recipes for lunch, dinner and breakfast.

YES

Selection of ‘gourmet’ recipes you can use anytime, and valuable lessons you can apply at the kitchen. Lessons/tips on how to save time preparing your meals, do your grocery shopping, etc.
Food Search - calorie contents of popular hawker foods

YES

Focus is on calorie-counting, which in real-life, is very unrealistic for most of us. Also, calorie counts can vary from hawker to hawker as the preparations/recipes are different - therefore, the calorie counts are NOT reliable… so why bother counting?

NO

Focus is on better eating habits, eating strategies, nutrition timing, overall eating habits (which will already cause a calorie-deficit and trigger weight-loss) - which is realistic and sustainable as a lifelong habit. No need to count calories or carry along a scale everywhere you go, or be restricted with what you eat.
Personalized exercise program

NO

Exercise plans are ’suited’ to all levels of fitness - you choose what you feel is suitable. Exercise programs are created by 2 ‘celebrity’ Personal Trainers. The basis/foundation of their workout program is unknown.

YES

Exercise recommendations are based on your current fitness levels, goals, how much time you can commit, etc. All exercise programs are based on ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 8th Edition and follow the newly released physical activity guidelines from the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Support

YES

Access to a member’s only forum to chat with other members

YES

Access to members-only forum, plus direct support and mentorship from ME - no middle persons or ‘representatives’.
Program duration

Never-ending

Continuous - no ‘end’ to the program, and requires recurring payments for as long as you stay as a member. This sort of model encourages you to be ‘dependant’ on the program.

90 days

3-months complete transformation, and encourages you to be dependant
Complementary gym membership

YES

30 days free membership, and the hope that you will sign-up for a long-term membership at the gym, costing you more money.

NO

If you have an existing gym membership, I will design a program that will help you utilize what you have. If you don’t have a gym membership, I will personally design a home-workout based program that will still give you great results.
Free personal training session

YES

Again, with the hope that you purchase a package of pricey personal training sessions, costing you more money once again.

NO

I will personally lead you through your 90-day journey to reach your goals. I am the head coach of your workout program - and that’s something you can’t buy at your gym.
Money back guarantee

NO

No refunds

YES

30-day money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with the program.
