Is Online Body Recomposition Coaching Worth It?

Why commitment is the real variable

There's no meaningful difference between online and in-person coaching for someone genuinely committed. This isn't rocket science, starvation, or an impossible task. Body recomposition works on a real, satisfying level of food, with dynamic and challenging workouts. The only requirement that actually matters is commitment. Whether I'm sitting across from you or reading your email, the coaching is the same. If anything, the email format makes better use of both our time.

When it's clearly worth it

If you are ready to give the first 12 weeks the attention they need, it is worth it: the same coaching, without the travel or the fixed slots.

When it isn't the right first step

If you're not really convinced yet, I wouldn't recommend starting an online programme at all. A better starting point is in-person coaching with someone who can take you through that early part of the plan directly, until you're genuinely ready to commit.
