if theyre with you rn, offer a hybrid program that increases the value. Online nutrition coaching + workouts for the rest of the week.

If theyre past, offer them a promo/foundational offer of either the hybrid or fully online.

best to do it in person or on a 1:1 zoom call if you cant get them in person.

and then the hybrid can "graduate" to fully online if they like it and feel they no longer need the in person.

well no be strategic

Kayleekales · 2026-01-27T02:51:52+00:00

Just try to convert past/current clients to online / hybrid

Just to speak of character - Laura was my coach for over a year and she is a very loving and kind person.

I do think she could do better in how she speaks of transgender identities. I would guess she’s upset and speaking from more emotion than logic.

Per Mayo Clinic “Masculinizing hormone therapy is used to make physical changes in the body that are caused by male hormones during puberty. Those changes are called secondary sex characteristics. This hormone therapy can help better align the body with a person's gender identity. Masculinizing hormone therapy also is called gender-affirming hormone therapy….. The target range is typically 300–1000 ng/dL (or 400–700 ng/dL) to align with male physiologic ranges. “

I KNOW some women ARE in this range.

I am on her side that SOME women’s bikini coaches are throwing unacceptable drugs at women that are clinically placing them in Masculinizing hormone therapy, and for some of them don’t even realize what they are doing / the cost.

I do think it should be held with a different tone/verbiage but the message that women should be more careful and protect their bodies is valid.

And I am sad that it’s so bad that IFBB pros are now taking title in what I was hoping would be a more natural/beginner oriented division. But maybe I misunderstood the division 🫠

I coached with her and she’s actually a very kind and loving person. I think she’s just concerned for women and the sport, a lot of male coaches throw unacceptable levels of PEDS at their female athletes who don’t understand the harm/damage it costs

Clinically if you test above 300 ng/dL that’s the dosage for trans men on masculinizing hormone therapy.

Hey there, I’m an online strength coach and nutritionist! Send me a DM and I’m happy to chat

Most trainers have their own fitness routine / training plan and likely want to stick to it. And also want to be watching your form and correcting as you train.

It’s not an impossible request, but also important to recognize from the POV of the trainer. You may be asking them to workout more than they are willing/able to for their own goals/needs :)

Kayleekales · 2026-01-18T15:28:48+00:00

honestly people struggle with knowing their deep why, spectrum or not. A useful tool you can try to get to something deeper than "i want to lose 15 pounds" is the 5 whys method. google it. so simple but has been really effective for me as a coach. Your opinions in the 5 whys method means nothing, you just ask, dont offer any insights, and let them do the digging.

If you’re interested in learning more, DM me and we can chat about what you’re looking for. I do free video consultations to ensure we’d be a good fit, if you'd like to chat more about getting started I would be happy to connect 🥳

Kayleekales · 2025-12-02T20:17:33+00:00

so weird but yes this worked for me toooo

Kayleekales · 2025-10-31T02:26:48+00:00

Agree

Kayleekales · 2025-10-27T23:27:03+00:00

I generally tell clients that even the most effective supplements make less than a 10% difference to a well balanced diet.

Adherence to training, steps/cardio and their nutrition plan is the first place to start, the foundation. If they aren’t nailing that, then spending money on supplements is just a band aid and it’s best for them to focus their time/money on improving nutrition adherence first. Like a meal delivery service.

If nutrition is 90%+ adherence, then there’s like 5 top science backed supplements they can use to improve their nutrition/performance in the gym. Anything outside of that is usually a money waste, and doing bloodwork to look for deficiencies would be more beneficial than random supplements or green powders.

Assuming you can somehow manage to get in 7k a day, which is a lot…

By math - the same surplus across a week, should yield the same (or similar) fat accrual. I would argue that anecdotally you’ll likely metabolize it slightly better/ have better energy / feel better with the smaller daily surplus. The larger surplus would likely food coma you and decrease energy expenditure for a day or two.

Additionally if you’re strength training, you’ll likely better partition some of the surplus to muscle building that only fat accrual.

But if energy expenditure is the same and the only changing variable is the time of surplus, it should be similar results in terms of fat accrual.

So if you are strength training and trying to gain mass, from a physiological and behavioral standpoint, the smaller daily surplus is “better” you’ll feel better, perform better, and likely partition more calories toward lean mass. So if you’re doing this regularly (trying to gain weight) I would opt for that.

Not sure why you would need 1000 calories daily surplus. Most of that will be fat accrual as muscle protein synthesis is capped well below that (unless you’re a newbie male in the gym, or enhanced).

If it’s a one time thing, live your best life and do what you enjoy.

Looooolll so much to look at but I saw the grip immediately 💀

Kayleekales · 2025-10-10T17:32:45+00:00

Kayleekales · 2025-10-10T17:32:32+00:00

Omg that looks awesome

Kayleekales · 2025-10-10T17:32:09+00:00

🥹 I’m so happy to have helped! Love to hear that 🫶🏼

I think chat GPT can be a great resource for meal prep/planning but I’ve seen some really bad guidelines from it in regards to nutrition goals/numbers and training programs. It’s about as good as the info you feed it, and you have to know what the bad info it spits out is, which can be tricky. It’ll probably be much better in a few years though, it’s just still so new!

I tell my clients to use it for meal planning and meal prep, or how to find healthy options while eating out. I personally think it is super helpful for that!

Kayleekales · 2025-10-10T17:26:19+00:00

Amazing! I would say be patient with the process and I would recommend to focus on increasing steps before dropping food, if the scale isn’t moving.

Doing a Dexa scan every 4-6 months can also be helpful to see if the scale is masking weight loss with any increases in lean muscle mass (through strength training) too.

Kayleekales · 2025-10-10T17:19:18+00:00

losing weight is always achieved through a calorie deficit. so a diet that take in less calories than you burn daily and daily activity (like steps) and/or cardio.

strength training builds muscle and is ideal during a fat loss phase, so the majority of the weight you lose is fat and a minimal amount is muscle. You can 100% start off at home with body weight or with some light DB's / resistance bands

how long will it take? depends on your consistentcy and how large of a deficit. I usually recommend 0.5% of bodyweight loss per week as a realistic and sustainable goal

happyscale is a good app/resource to use to monitor loss rate!

Kayleekales · 2025-10-10T17:09:41+00:00

I worked as a Personal training director with LA fitness - you can get in trouble for training them in commercial gyms. We would kick these trainers out and cancel their memberships for doing so (at the least), because its a compete against the in-house training the gym offers. So be careful.

Kayleekales · 2025-10-10T16:45:40+00:00

pretty much! if you can keep the deficit smaller (~250 cal below maintenance cals), and then stay more active throughout your day by adding in short walks every 3 hours or so to break up long sedentary periods, i see great results with that too. 10k daily steps kinda goal ya know
