FAQs

All you need to know about online coaching.

In an increasingly rapid world, staying fit becomes a challenge. Frequent traveling, fast-paced lifestyle, time commitments, and work pressure mean the regular gym session might get a miss. However, with the power of smartphones and accessibility, online fitness coaching has become a natural solution to it.The concept is simple - a gym trainer is there only for the 1 hr in the gym and if you are traveling somewhere, not even for that. Online fitness coaches train you remotely and because of that, location is never a problem. Moreover, online fitness coaching comes at a fraction of the cost of hiring a personal trainer and hence is good on the wallet as well. Our coach is certified by ACE, CSCS, and ISSA and have with them a streak of success stories of weight loss, muscle gain, post-pregnancy, etc. Another major reason people tend to swing towards online coaching is the accessibility that comes with it, in the long term. They can provide you with customized workout training plans and nutrition plans so that you can stay on your fitness goals even when you are traveling or are having a party.

What is online coaching?

To think of it, the idea of a fitness coach has stayed the same throughout history -- someone who helps you stay fit and achieve your fitness goals. And with the rise in smartphone use, every area of our life has been impacted positively, in the same way, fitness has also improved with the advent of online fitness coaching. Online fitness coaching includes personalized workout plans, nutrition, and diet plans, lifestyle advice, on-demand help through messages and calls. Online personal trainers also help you stay aimed at your fitness goals by pushing and motivating you. Increasingly, online personal trainers today also have their apps and video services so that you have personal access to them and can reach out to them directly.

Is online fitness coaching worth it?

The answer to it is very personal and will depend on the individual - if you are someone who can wake up and get to the gym by yourself, follow a diet and a workout program then getting fitness coaching might not provide much value add. However, if you are someone who works the best when pushed and motivated and wants a personalized workout plan tailored according to your goal (can be as simple as reducing weight to as specific as getting that wedding bod!), fitness coaching will help you stay on track and smash that goal. And with the help of online fitness coaching, the once propagated idea that personalized fitness coaching is only the luxury of the rich is being proved false. Online coaching costs a fraction of what personal trainers are hired at and provides the added benefits of accessibility, one-on-one guidance, and nutrition plans.

What is the difference between and online and in-person coach?

One of the dilemmas when considering fitness coaching is this: online vs physical trainer. Two biggest differences sway me towards online trainers more: accessibility and cost. Hiring an online trainer is cost-effective and because you don’t need them physically present, you can take their benefit anywhere. The biggest example can be when you are traveling. We all know how all of our routine flies out of the window when we are on the road, both in terms of workout and nutritional coaching. Having an online personal coach with us would help you in those times who can give you specific workouts you can do without equipment and the food that you can consume so that you enjoy your vacation as well as stay on track for your fitness goals. Online coaching also comes with nutrition plans where a dedicated nutritionist will help you chart out your diet plan and work alongside your workout coach to ensure your fitness goals are in sync.

How to make most of online coaching?

So you have gotten yourself the membership and are looking forward to building your dream physique. How should you proceed and what to keep in mind? First, follow your personal trainer's advice and stick to the plan. You’ve paid them for a good reason and their expertise is why you’ve trusted them. Moreover, it takes time for a workout routine’s effectiveness to be seen, so patience is your friend here. Also, make sure your form is proper and for that, you can shoot yourself doing 1 rep of the exercise and share it with your trainer. They’ll help you improve your form and this helps prevent injuries. Last but not least, keep in touch with your coach throughout the day and not just during gym time. Share your diet pics, update your weight and BMI metrics so that they can make changes to your workout and nutrition plan if required.

What if I don’t know where to start? I just feel stuck

You are not alone. Most of our clients come to us saying:

“I don’t know what I need exactly... I just know I’m not okay.”

That’s where we come in. We’ll help you untangle the confusion and find a starting point that feels doable, not overwhelming.

I’ve tried programs before and failed. How is this different?

At TransformX, we don’t believe in “all or nothing.” This isn’t about willpower. It’s about working with your life, not against it.

We focus on:

  • Tiny, repeatable steps that work in your real life.
  • No shaming, no “start over from Monday” loops.
  • Emotional support when motivation fades (because it will and that’s normal).

Can you help me if I feel emotionally drained and physically exhausted?

Yes. That’s exactly who we’re here for. We’ll help you:

  • Build energy back slowly without forcing it.
  • Reset your nervous system (think: breathwork, mindfulness, better sleep, real recovery).
  • Work on healing, not just hustling through the exertion.

What if I’m not “bad enough” for therapy but not “well enough” either?

That in-between space? We specialize in it.

You don’t have to be falling apart to ask for help. Sometimes you just need guidance, clarity, and a soft place to land. That’s what TransformX wellness support is for.

Will this help if I’m dealing with body image issues or low self-confidence?

Absolutely. We’ll help you:

  • Stop fighting your body and start listening to it.
  • Build self-worth that isn’t tied to the weighing scale.
  • Shift from “fixing yourself” to supporting yourself.

Can I get help with emotional eating, binge cycles, or guilt around food?

Yes, and we do it gently. No diet charts that disconnect you from your life. No guilt-tripping. Just real tools to help you understand why you are stuck in food cycles and how to get out.

What if I have a medical condition? Can I still work with you?

Yes! We work with people managing thyroid imbalances, pcos & hormonal health, postpartum changes, diabetes or insulin resistance, stress-related health issues like sleep loss, burnout, and emotional fatigue. Your plan will be tailored to support your body, not stress it out further.

Is this therapy or coaching? How do I know what I need?

It can be either or both. Here’s how to think about it:

  • If you need Emotional support, healing patterns, deeper processing you might choose Therapy/Counseling.
  • If you need Lifestyle structure, mindset shifts, habit change guidance you might choose Wellness Coaching.
  • If you need Both body & mind care, customized together you might choose Integrated Program.

Not sure? That’s why we offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide.

How do I join? Do I have to commit to something big?

No pressure, no huge packages upfront. Start small with our 15-minute free consult. Choose your way:

  • Virtual Call (Zoom/Google Meet).
  • WhatsApp Reflections (Reply when you are ready).
  • Email Check-in (Write your thoughts, get clarity back).

What happens after the consultation?

We’ll suggest the best next step for you, based on YOUR needs. No hard sells. Just real recommendations for what will help you feel better.

I don’t have time. Can I still work on my wellness?

Yes, you can and you don’t need hours a day to do it. Wellness isn’t about more to-do lists. It’s about smarter, simpler living. We specialize in micro habits that fit into real life, like:

  • 5-minute breath resets.
  • Mindful eating tweaks.
  • Mini movement breaks.
  • Sleep routine fixes that take zero extra time.

I’m tired of starting over. How do I stay consistent this time?

We get it. The start-stop cycle is exhausting. Here’s how we help you break the loop:

  • We adjust the plan to your life, not the other way around.
  • We support you when motivation fades because it will, and that’s normal.
  • We build self-compassion into the process, not guilt.

What if I don’t “look the part”? Will I feel out of place?

You belong here exactly as you are, right now. There is no “part” to look here. TransformX is for:

  • People with busy lives.
  • People with bodies that don’t fit fitness ads.
  • People who are tired, stressed, and sometimes messy (we all are!).

Can I work on mental health and fitness together? Or is that too much?

That’s actually the best way to do it. We believe your mind and body are a team, not separate projects.  When you work on both: you are more likely to stay consistent and bounce back faster from bad days because you build real, lasting change and not short-term fixes

I’m scared to “fail” again. What if I disappoint myself?

Let’s first reframe failure. At TransformX, we believe:

  • “Slipping up” is part of the process, not the end of it.
  • Rest is progress too.
  • You can restart without starting over

We help you build skills, not just streaks. That’s how real change sticks.

How long will it take to see changes?

It depends on your goal but here’s the truth: Emotional shifts can happen in weeks. Body shifts happen in months and Life shifts happen over time with support. We focus on sustainable change you can live with, not crash results that vanish.

What makes TransformX different from other coaching or therapy services?

At TransformX, you get:

  • Mind + Body Support Together (most places split them apart).
  • Personalized, non-extreme plans.
  • Support for people with health conditions and busy lives.
  • Flexible formats—choose calls, WhatsApp, or email check-ins.

Plus, we’re real humans too and we get the messy, complicated parts of life.

Do I have to give up my favorite foods or social life?

Absolutely not. We’ll teach you how to eat what you love without guilt. Go to that party without stressing and build balance that works in your real life, not just on paper.

What if I’m just not ready yet?

That’s okay. But if you are still reading this, there is probably a part of you that is ready for something to shift, even if it’s small. We meet you where you are. We will never push you faster than you are ready to go.
