Frequently Asked Questions

  • This is for people ready to actually commit, not just dip a toe in. Real progress takes real time and effort, and that's not a half-and-half thing. If you're willing to put in the work, I'll provide the support and structure you need to hit your goals. Fit and commitment level are things we'll talk through properly on your discovery call, so we're both clear this is the right move before we start.

  • Start by booking a 30-minute discovery call. We'll talk through your goals, training history and anything health-related, and make sure it's a good fit on both sides. If it is, I'll recommend the right plan and send a short health questionnaire (PAR-Q) to complete before you start, then we'll map out a plan of action and rough timeframes together.

  • Instead of a trial, we start with a discovery call so your plan fits you from day one. Trials are sometimes available as part of a specific offer, so check Instagram (@wtf_coaching) to see what's currently running.

  • Yes. Whether you're brand new to lifting or coming back after a long break, beginners are welcome. Essentials suits beginner and intermediate lifters, and 1:1 Coaching adds more hands-on support. Coaching is for adults aged 18 and over.

  • Here's what's included at each level:

    • Essentials, you track your food in the app, or connect MyFitnessPal.

    • 1:1 Coaching, you get a personalised meal plan, updated each block, plus coach-reviewed food tracking.

    • Performance, you get a personalised meal plan, adjusted around training phases, plus coach-reviewed food tracking.

  • Both. Programming adjusts to what's relevant for you, cycle-informed training for women, and hormonal regulation and training-stress management for everyone.

  • Yes, at Performance tier. I've competed in several sports at a reasonably high level (county level), including combat and physically explosive sports (judo, fencing, basketball, swimming, sprinting, shot put, long jump), and build programming around what those demands actually require.

  • Bodybuilding contest prep, no. Prep carries a large hormonal impact that doesn't fit how I coach, so it's not something I offer, but I'm happy to recommend contest prep coaches I rate highly. Photoshoot prep, possibly, depending on your reasons for the goal. We can talk it through on a discovery call.

  • Either works, but you'll likely see the best results training in a gym rather than at home, since home setups are usually limited by available equipment. Programming can still be built around a full gym setup or a home/minimal equipment situation, whatever you've actually got access to.

  • A mix of measures rather than just the scale: weight, measurements, progress photos, check-in forms, energy and stress levels, and how training is actually feeling, all tracked in the coaching app. What's tracked depends on your plan and goals. Essentials uses a fortnightly check-in questionnaire, while 1:1 Coaching and Performance add weekly check-in forms with weight and measurement tracking.

  • Coaching can support training around a diagnosed condition, but it isn't a substitute for medical care. If you have a diagnosed condition, ongoing symptoms, or you're on medication, check with your doctor or a relevant specialist before starting, and let your coach know so training can be adjusted appropriately.

  • That's what the check-ins are for. Training gets adjusted around your actual recovery capacity rather than forced through a fixed weekly template.

  • I don't provide specific rehabilitation training, that's best handled by a specialist. What I can do is support your training around an injury or once you're cleared to return, working alongside any medical or rehab care you're already receiving.

  • Yes, within scope and alongside your medical clearance.

  • Where possible, yes. It's handled case by case depending on the restriction and your plan, and we'll talk it through on your discovery call. If you have or have had an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia, nutrition coaching may not be appropriate without support from a qualified specialist, and I may ask for that before we start.

  • That depends on you, your effort, consistency, and individual body all play a part, so results can't be guaranteed. What I can guarantee is giving you the structure and tools to get there.

  • There's no minimum term, but 3 months is recommended to see real progress. When you sign up, you pay your first month and your final month up front. Your plan then renews monthly until you give notice, and the held payment covers your final month.

  • You can cancel any time by emailing help@wtfcoaching.com. Your final month is already covered by the payment held at sign-up, so you won't be charged again once you give notice. If you cancel within 14 days of signing up, your final-month payment is refunded in full, and your first month is refunded less the cost of coaching already provided, including building your programme and onboarding. After that, payments for months already started aren't refundable. Pauses are considered case by case, for example for illness or injury. Full details are in the Terms and Conditions.

  • Messages are answered Monday to Friday: within 24-48 hours on 1:1 Coaching, and the same day on Performance. Essentials includes a monthly written review rather than ongoing messaging. Live calls are scheduled in the evenings or at weekends.
