How can you coach me long distance?
Scott gets this question all the time. More than 80% of Scott's clientele are extreme long distance. The important thing when seeking coaching is not proximity but EXPERTISE. Just because someone may be in your own backyard should not be a consideration for putting your trust in them. Check out their resume and their level of expertise. Check out their third part recognition. These days anyone on the Net can call themselves anything, but what is their experience level, their education level, and what do respected third parties have to say about those qualities. As long as someone is on-line, and responsible to the relationship aspect of the coach/client relationship, then distance is not an issue. In fact, most people say they communicate with Scott easier, more often and more efficiently than any other trainer they had in their own town, or even in their own gym. With proper client biofeedback, Scott can easily ascertain how a client may or may not be adapting to a training or diet program, and then he will tweak it as necessary. Most clients will send digital pictures every so often, and regular feedback, so Scott is always involved in their day-to-day, week-to-week progress. This makes more sense than the usual "here is a diet and here is a program, get back to me in 12 weeks." Scott knows that everyone's physiology is very different and people adapt at their own pace, not according to some weekly or 12 week schedule. That kind of thinking just illustrates how little "trainers" really understand the body and its response to exercise and diet. It is yet another way that Scott is different. His consistent monitoring of his clients allows him crystal clear vision in terms of coaching advisement.
Scott has been around a long time...he is cheaper than most within the ''industry'' over in the states..with that said fuark me are you serious!
You sound like you want your hand to be held and babied rather than actually take some responsibility yourself...and if you think you will get that from me you are wrong..I'm happy to help and give people the tools they need and support them if they are helping themselves but I don't mother them nor keep on their ass and email them each day or week. It is up to the individual to keep me informed with the their progress and any questions etc.
Top bodybuilders don't hit sticking points etc just just have falling out with sources....and need new ones...ohh i mean ''coaches''...
So you can spend $1500 on that or $100 on it...What i want is to be put in the right direction, time is precious (im not getting any younger) I put in 100%, but that 100% will mean shit if what im doin is wrong.
Get a training log ****.how do you know its not just oni trying to scam people?

$100 for per month...nutrition/macros and cals tracked and adjusted as much as needed etc.What do you charge Max? Sorry for the thread jack, and I understand that there is no single charge, it depends on what someone wants, but I just want a ballpark figure.
Thanks Sticky! We help each other out and both have the same idea's when it comes to all things - NO BS.Max has helped me out plenty of times, and I've even met the guy.
