Common FAQs About Online Personal Training From A World Renowned Fitness Coach
Sure do. If I coach you in strength coaching, you'll be given access to the Recomposer app, in which I'll customise your program and track your progress. I'll set your training days, your rest days, and make suggesting around progressive overload, based on your performance.
It definitely is. In fact, when it comes to weight training, the fact someone hasn't had any experience means they will not need to go through an ‘unlearning’ period with workout training methods that are counterproductive to the results you are looking for. Then when it comes to diet, it makes zero difference.
More than 20% of my online fitness clients are shift workers in some capacity. The management of nutrition for people with ‘not normal’ work hours is not hard at all. It often can in involve running 2 diets side by side or teaching you how to ‘swap’ foods in and out. It's not rocket science, and although easy to follow, it's easy to get wrong if you don't understand your body.
Most definitely! If you have your own equipment, I'll write personal training programs that specifically use the gym gear you have available. If you're lacking certain items, I'll write a body weight program if required. We will cover all this in the initial health and fitness consultation, and if you are not confident or able to train in a gym, we can facilitate that, especially if you're located in Brisbane, the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia.
Nope, all me and only me. To give you the best online personal training results, you need to be coached directly by me at all times.
It's not that I will ask you to stop seeing your current personal trainer, and if you're only on a nutrition plan, remaining with your PT will probably be beneficial for you. However, if we are doing premium level coaching, you definably do not “need” to have a trainer coaching you through your session as I will be telling you how much and how many times to lift it.
It's very rare that someone gets past the age of 25 without some form of ‘niggle’ In their
body. I have been training for 20 years myself and have a background in rehabilitation. It is very rare now for me to come across an injury I have not recovered from myself or rehabbed on a client.
If this is the case, then I am very confident that you will enjoy working with me. Your diet must not EVER compromise your mental health. Unfortunately, these days most coaches have eating disorders themselves that they end up passing on to their own clients. We will work together to undo all damage done.
A strength coach is a professional who specialises in designing and implementing strength and conditioning programs for not just athletes but anyone of any experience level looking to improve their physical performance. Understand that strength/muscle is the foundation of all athletic endeavours. The stronger you are, the better you will feel and function.
A strength coach can work with you to design a personalised training program that addresses your specific goals and needs. People of all experience levels can and should utilise an experienced coach. You should be provided a bespoke program designed around your needs, goals and specifics.
Strength coaches use a variety of training methods, including weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, plyometrics, and functional training to help athletes and individuals improve their physical performance. They may also incorporate recovery and rehabilitation techniques to prevent injuries.
Yes, strength coaches can work with athletes of all levels, from beginner to elite. They can design training programs that are tailored to the specific needs and goals of each athlete. If your goals are purely aesthetic, a coach who has the ability to write a program and then compliment that program with a nutrition plan designed to support your body goals. Well, that’s where the magic happens.
The frequency of training sessions with a strength coach will depend on your individual goals and needs. However, most athletes and individuals typically work with a strength coach one to three times per week.
A qualified strength coach should have a degree in exercise science, kinesiology, or a related field, as well as relevant certifications such as the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) or the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
No, strength coaching is not just for athletes. Strength coaches can work with individuals of all ages and fitness levels to help them improve their physical performance and reach their fitness goals.
You can tell if a strength coach is right for you by considering their qualifications, experience, and approach to training. It's also important to find someone you feel comfortable communicating with and can trust to help you reach your goals, but the easiest way is to have a consult and discuss your specifics (this should not cost you anything).
The most common misconception with strength training, in general, is that you need a baseline level of experience in the gym. This could not be further from the truth. An experience coach will be able to teach you good habits and techniques from the get go. This way you can get fantastic results from the get go!
Online Personal Trainers vs Strength Coaching
Online personal trainers aren't strength trainers. Gym coaches are different again, and then there's nutritional coaching. What's the difference, and what do you need, and why? Get all the answers here, plus your questions answered, specific to my strength training and nutritional plans. If you want a question answered, flick us a message, and we'll be happy to add it.
Does An Online Fitness Coach Need Credentials?
Yes, absolutely. An online fitness coach typically needs credentials before online training someone through their fitness journey. Qualifications are essential, though the specific requirements can vary depending on their country, the type of services offered, and the platform they are using. I (Real Results Online Coaching) am based in Australia, having one of the strictest regulatory bodies in the world governing the fitness industry.
A regulator sets the bar for what it means to be a fitness professional, from accrediting courses to ensuring that industry standards are met. Australia's best online strength and fitness professionals will have had involvement with AUSactive (formerly Fitness Australia).

The question of can you gain muscle while you drop weight….is the wrong question.
The question is how do I create POSITIVE body recomposition? And to understand why this is the right question you need to understand the definitions of the words you are using and the assumptions of each question 💯
The term “drop weight” has to assume some kind or level of caloric deficit, which immediately makes it very hard to argue that muscle can be grown in that environment, as the question itself implies that dropping weight is the desired outcome.
Now to the correct question. Positive body recomposition is measured only by body fat percentage, that is what percentage of your total weight is made up of fat. Your body fat levels is the only thing that DIRECTLY correlates to how good or bad you actually look (yes this is subjective and I’m generalising but majority of people want lower body fat %)
The cool thing is there is more than ONE WAY we can lower body fat percentage. There are 3 strategies you can use
Maintain fat and increase muscle (easiest)
Maintain muscle mass and drop fat (easy)
Increase muscle and drop fat (less easy)
How aggressive you need to be with diet and training will depend on what one you choose. They are also in order of how drastic and quick the visual change will be.
Through a #fatloss phase you can also change between strategies to manage things like appetite or rate of loss

The "Never Feel Hungry" claim reflects a well-balanced, personalised nutrition approach intended to support satiety and energy. However, individual responses to diet plans may vary, and some clients may still experience hunger, especially during body recomposition phases or calorie restriction. This plan is not a guarantee against hunger but aims to provide satisfying meal options based on personal preferences and training goals. For specific dietary needs or restrictions, consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any nutrition program.
