DM's Online Coaching Program

What are my responsibilities as a client?

dailymuscle — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:27:15 +0000

I have come up with five simple rules for my Online Coaching clients.

1. Do what I tell you to do.
To be a client, you have to trust me, accept that I’m the expert here, and do exactly what I tell you to do. I have successfully helped hundreds if not thousands of people just like you. If you’re not willing to put me in control, becoming a client will be a frustrating experience and a waste of time for the both of us.

2. Work hard.
Nothing worth achieving is easy, and I don’t make any apologies here: I’m going to make you work hard. If you do, you’ll be stunned at how fast you’ll see results. If I think you’re slacking off, on the other hand, I’ll drop you off the program.

3. Give me at least three months to work with you.
Anything less is too little to establish a good relationship and see tangible results.

4. Provide regular feedback.
At regular time intervals, I may require you to do certain assessments, and fill out a feedback questionnaire which may take some of your time. This is absolutely critical to your success.

5. Send me photos every month.
To keep you honest and motivated, every month you will have to email me digital photos of yourself documenting your progress. Doing so is easy and I’ll help you get started if you’ve never done something like this before. Don’t worry, your privacy is assured.

Bottom Line: If you will play your part and do the above, then I commit to do everything in my power to ensure that you succeed. Clients who follow those five rules have extraordinary success rates.

If you don’t, you won’t last long. None of these rules are optional. I only work with committed people, and those who fail to meet these standards are dropped from the program immediately. These are very reasonable requests, and essential if you want great results. If you can’t follow my five basic rules, please do not apply.

Can Online Coaching Really work?

Based on the clients I have, most of them have come to me after long, unsuccessful relationships with personal trainers, and in a short time with me have seen results that their trainers simply could not produce. Here are some points to consider:

1. You will have access to world-class expertise in the field of Weight Management, Strength Training, and Lifestyle Change - me! Access to expertise of this caliber in your geographical region is probably limited at best.

2. My 1-on-1 coaching program is highly personalised. Because I work from a distance, I can’t just go on “instinct” like many personal trainers or coaches do. I’ll make you collect objective data, including regular body composition testing, extensive feedback questionnaires and web-based tools to get an exact picture of how you’re doing and how your body works. I’ll get to know you very well — even if you’re halfway around the world from me.

Are you up for the challenge?

Why do you require a 3-month commitment?

dailymuscle — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:22:38 +0000

I use this time frame because I’ve found it takes at least 3 months for clients to realise measurable and substantial progress towards their goals. The 3-month timeframe is a realistic one that allows clients to make dramatic and sustainable progress without jeopardizing their health or using techniques too extreme to consistently follow for a lifetime.

My first priority is to build a successful long-term relationship with my clients. In fact, almost all of my clients remain with me for longer than the minimum term of 3 months - both online, and off.

What types of programs do I have?

dailymuscle — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:17:45 +0000

Over the years, I’ve been working with everyone from recreational exercisers, to folks suffering from cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Here are my programs available for the Online Coaching Program:

1. 90-day Fat Loss Program
My number 1 selling program, and most highly in demand. I will walk you through the exact same strategies I use with my most successful fat loss clients - tips, tricks, and unbelievably easy lifestyle changes that will absolutely change the way you live… and look.

2. Body Makeover for Women
I’ve worked with women from all walks of life achieve their goals, from brides-to-be, housewives to models shaping up for a photo shoot. No matter what you’re looking to achieve, chances are I’ve helped someone do it before… and I can help you do it too.

3. Body Makeover for Men
For guys who want to get lean, put on muscle, or both. The principles I apply for myself and my male clients will get you in shape faster than you ever thought possible.

4. Custom Coaching
For anyone with special requirements and goals.

How much does all of this cost?
US$99 down, US$127/month for THREE months. That’s it.

How much does it cost?

dailymuscle — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:44:29 +0000

Today’s update is one I’m sure many of you have been waiting impatiently for - to a point where I’ve been receiving numerous emails INSISTING I disclose the launch date, and price… so with no further delay… let me first answer the number one question you guys have been asking me so far:

1. How much does it cost?

To develop a customised training and nutrition strategy with me in person over a weekend is US$2000, and to work 1-on-1 with me on Personal Training works out to US$150/session, and I already have a waiting list only for the foreseeable future. To work with a decent personal trainer at your health club will set you back at least $650/month.

But to join my Online Coaching Program?
US$99 down, US$127/month for THREE months. That’s it.
*You will be able to pay via PayPal (Pay with all major credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal funds)

I’ve been coaching for many years now and been in the industry long enough to understand the rates, and I can genuinely say that this is the most affordable that this caliber of coaching has ever been.

The technology is now available to provide great instruction for less. Things like Flash presentations, streaming videos, online publishing software, my Online Channel & Resource Board software, etc – those things free up so much time for a coach like me. And that free time means more clients can be supported at once, which means I can offer a great service for much less.

And best of all, you’ll get the results you want – guaranteed (more on my money-back-guarantee in the next update). All this, MINUS all the drama you see on reality-TV weight loss shows. Isn’t that lovely?

2. Launch Date!

Also, I now have an official launch date and time!

Thursday, December 30th at 11:00am GMT+8 (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian time)

Yes folks… that’s just about 48 hours away. So the LIMITED 20 spots go on sale then until all spots are sold out, and the program will begin on Monday, January 11 2010, and end on Sunday, April 11 2010.

If you have any last-minute questions about the program before the launch, you can drop me an email at author@dailymuscle.com, and I will get back to you ASAP.

Here’s to an exciting new 2010. Be Ready!

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

dailymuscle — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:24:47 +0000

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, 8^th 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.
