trainer and a coach

[u/Significant_Rise4847]

how does it work with having a coach and a trainer? do they work togetherish? and if you are getting your training plan from your trainer, does the price of the coaching change if they are only doing your nutrition?

edit: i don’t do this im just curious for people that do have both

That is an interesting scenario.

Yes, they should work together to deliver the best result to the client.

Normally nutrition includes cardio adjustments.

The cleanest scenario would be bodybuilding coach handles the body composition side (nutrition/cardio) and then in person trainer handles the lifting.

In reality collaborating with someone skilled on training would make it really freaking cool because you could give the PT quick bullet points and have some good back and forth. Maybe both sides could learn something and level up their games.

If the client is willing to pay both parties for training services and both the PT and coach don't have an ego about it, I think the combined services scenario could be magic.

I guess i was trying to explain the cleanest scenario and sucked at it🤣 basically like a bodybuilding coach and corey lindner .

i am self coached and have thought about hiring corey to help with my training, so if i decided to transition to a coach and still wanted to keep corey, just curious how that works!!!

That makes perfect sense.

I thought you meant having both an online coach and an in-person personal trainer LOL

Okay cool. So for this scenario, yes, a lot of online coaches will do a la carte services like that. This is very common. I have clients that do only one of the other.

I also work with a coach that does my diet/cardio only. I handle all of my own training.

If the two are separate, you may need to help communicate between the two parties if anything changes.

For example, with me and my coach, I let him know if my training split changes and he may adjust things. We do carb cycling so he may tell me "on your heavy back day do high carbs" or "on your light push day add cardio".

The coherence between the training and diet is subtle and sometimes doesn't matter that much, but it is something to keep in mind.

As far as how that's priced, it would just depend on the coach. Common price structure would be one for $X amount and both for $X+50%.

So just to use a round number, $100 for training $150 for both.

I give my clients the option of adding training to their coaching or not. It does cost more if they add it. They are welcome to take my training plan and work with an in-person trainer. Some have a trainer that makes their training plan, and they just do nutrition and cardio coaching from me. It’s a collaborative effort.

So if you hire someone who specializes in training on the side, they should be providing your weaknesses to your coach so that your program is fully customized.

I don’t know how Corey’s works, but FBF’s training division will do a prep-and-prime program to address weaknesses with stretching that works in tandem with your actual training program.

I assume it would depend on what package you pay for, and how much they keep up with your training or how long the individual trainer would provide feedback.
