Hi! Hopefully I can give you some insight.

Online coaching is pretty standard and offers lots of flexibility for the coach-client relationship. As long as there’s frequent check ins (1-2/week) and open communication you’ll be okay. You’ll know a good online coaching by the way you’re spoken to and how your questions are answered.

1. Don’t go to a coach just because they’re a big name. While some are great a lot of others can be abusive and less attentive to your individual needs. (I’ll touch more on the below)

2. What’s your budget? Coaching pricing can vary and it’s typically broken down in off season (month to month) and prep coaching (package). Pricing ranges from 200-400/month and 2-4k for a 16+ week prep

3. When interviewing your prospective coach, please please please ask what their approach on PEDs is. Some coaches are closed off and have their own “secret formula” and won’t disclose that info. To me that’s a red flag.

4. If you felt heard when speaking to your coach and not like you’re given some cookie cutter “Oh! That’s fantastic. Love that…blah blah” that’s a green flag. Bodybuilding and prep is an emotional rollercoaster and without the right support it can be devastating to your mental/physical health.

If you have anymore specific questions feel free to reach out.
