Coach or app: is your programme really yours?
By Nicolas Papon, founder of Live For Fit ·
In France, an individual online coach often costs €90 to €150 a month, or €1,080 to €1,800 a year. After the beta, Live For Fit will cost €89 a year and work out your programme from 14 photos, muscle by muscle. Before you pay for a "100% personalised" programme, ask these 5 questions.
In our view, a programme worked out from your body, at €89 a year, beats a "personalised" programme at over €1,000 that you cannot check. That is what Live For Fit does.
"100% personalised": how to check
The word "personalised" proves nothing. TrainerFu, which makes software for coaches, describes a client "following the same programme as 29 other people". Your body is not your neighbour's: your programme should not be either.
5 questions to ask your coach
- What did you look at on my body, muscle by muscle, before writing this programme?
- Why this number of sets for this muscle, and not another?
- What will differ from your previous client's programme?
- What changes if I miss my reps, or if I am tired?
- Can you show me your professional card?
These questions are ours: no independent body publishes a test. The last one rests on French law. France's sports ministry says paid coaching requires a qualification, a professional card and insurance, online as well as in the gym, and writes that "many sports educators" working online "get around the obligations". It gives no figure.
What Live For Fit works out for you
At Live For Fit: your programme starts from 14 guided photos. Each muscle gets a status and a confidence level.
At Live For Fit: two different muscles do not get the same volume. Strong: 4 to 6 sets a week. Average: 6 to 10. Weak: 10 to 14. Far behind: 14 to 20. So two people with different bodies do not get the same programme.
At Live For Fit: your load follows your reps at each session, your nutrition is adjusted every week and the app offers a deload if your fatigue rises, with no appointment to wait for.
At Live For Fit: nothing is hidden: the rules and the studies are public, so you can check everything.
