Online Coaching FAQ

A gym PT is with you for the hour you train. Online coaching covers the other 167 hours: your full training program, your meal plan, weekly check-ins, form reviews and day-to-day accountability, all from your phone.

You train on your own schedule, at your gym or at home, and I adjust your plan every week based on your logs, check-ins and progress.

I’m Coach Jeff Alagar, a NASM-certified Physique and Bodybuilding Coach and an ISSA-certified nutritionist. I coach Filipinos in the Philippines and abroad full time through Body by Coach Jeff, and I train with the same methods I give my clients. More about me.

Yes. Many of my clients start with little or no lifting experience. Your program starts at your level, the app shows you how to do each exercise, and you can send me videos of your sets for form checks.

Yes. Coaching is fully online, so I work with Filipinos abroad too. Meal plans use foods and supplements you can actually buy where you live.

Take the Coaching Readiness Quiz first. It takes about 2 minutes and tells me your goal, schedule and training background. After that we chat on WhatsApp, I send you the program details and current rates, and once you’re in you fill in the onboarding form, settle payment and book your onboarding call. Your program starts on the following Monday.

Programs run for 12, 16 or 24 weeks, and longer programs cost less per week. I send the current rates after we chat, because I first check that coaching is the right fit for you. Promos, when available, are taken off those rates.

A custom workout program and a custom meal plan with your calories and macros, both inside the My PT Hub app.

Weekly check-ins with feedback and plan adjustments.

WhatsApp support, video form checks, progress tracking (photos, weight and body fat), daily step targets, and the weekly Power Rankings to keep you accountable.

My PT Hub for your workouts, meal plan, food and workout logging, and weekly check-ins. StepUp for daily steps. WhatsApp to message me. You don’t need MyFitnessPal or any other food app.

You can message me on WhatsApp anytime and I reply during my coaching hours. Every week you also submit a check-in in the app (deadline Friday 11:59 PM, Philippine time), and I review it and adjust your plan.

No. I program for the equipment you actually have, whether that’s a full gym, a condo gym or a pair of dumbbells at home. Tell me what you have during onboarding.

Yes. Your split is built around how many days you can realistically train each week, and you pick the days.

Record one set with your full body in frame and upload it on the form check page. I review it and send feedback on WhatsApp. This is for active clients.

Your meal plan already has the portions worked out. You log your food in the My PT Hub app so we both see how close you are to your targets. No guesswork and no extra apps.

No. Supplements are optional. Before I build your meal plan I ask what you already take and only include those. If something would genuinely help (for example creatine for strength or magnesium for sleep), I’ll suggest it with options you can buy locally. You can also browse my picks in the shop.

Usually yes. Every new client completes a physical activity readiness questionnaire, and I plan around food restrictions, allergies and preferences. If anything needs a doctor’s clearance first, I’ll ask you to get it before we start.

GCash, Maya, or bank transfer (BPI, UnionBank, Metrobank). Clients abroad can pay by PayPal. Payment is settled before your program starts.

Yes. Tell me ahead of time. Approved vacations extend your end date, so you don’t lose coaching weeks.

You can stop at any time, but fees for the current program are generally non-refundable. See the Terms for the full policy.

You can renew and keep going from where you are, or graduate. Graduating clients get their last workout program and meal plan as PDFs so they can keep training on their own.

Your data is used only for your coaching and is kept as described in the Privacy Policy, so your history is still there if you come back.

Most clients notice better energy, strength and habits within the first few weeks. Visible body changes usually show from around 6 to 12 weeks, depending on your starting point and consistency. That’s why programs run for at least 12 weeks.

It happens. Message me, we adjust the plan to your current week, and you continue from there. Missing a week does not mean starting over. You can also see real client progress on the Client Results page.
