I paid for an online coaching program with a promo. He promised a meal plan, supplement guide, weekly check-ins, and workouts tailored to my goals. I’m 1 month in, and my primary goal is weight loss, then toning and building muscle. What I got was possibly a generic workout plan with only one tricep exercise despite me mentioning my flabby underarms, and it has no calf exercises. He did not explain why these workouts were chosen, just gave them to me. There was no nutrition guidance, especially about calories and protein intake, even though he talks about body recomposition over just losing weight. At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he said he wants to "speed up" my metabolism first, but now I totally doubt him.
His meal plan is basic
Meal 1: 2 whole eggs plus 1 egg white scrambled or fried in 1 tbsp olive oil with 30g oats soaked in water, or 150g white fish with 100g rice
Meal 2: 120g chicken breast with 100g rice and 1 cup green veggies
Meal 3: 150g lean ground beef with 100g potato and 1 cup green veggies
No alternatives like airfry or bake, he only said grill them. The supplement guide he gave is only whey protein from Optimum Nutrition (expensive in our country) without considering my budget. He also advises brisk walking every after gym session totaling around 3 hours per workout day without asking if it even fits my schedule. Despite my push back, he insists on the walks. No video calls, only chat messages, and when I missed a week because of a typhoon, he did not provide motivation, just short, generic “you got this” or “discipline yourself” type messages.
Because of his approach, I feel the need to research on my own since the guidance is lacking and raises doubts. Overall, it feels like low-effort, cookie-cutter coaching that ignores weak points, nutrition, and real personalization. When I raised my concerns, he said all programs are the same for everyone and focus on fitting your schedule, being low-stress, and allowing proper recovery. He claims there’s no generic workout because consistency in execution is what matters most. Now I’m seriously questioning if money spent was even worth it, as I expected him to save me time by educating me and providing real coaching.
Based on this, should I cancel, or give him a chance? There’s no mention of a money-back guarantee, so I might just have to cut my losses and learn from the experience.
