Affordable Online Coaching Reviews 336

From the very beginning of the 12 week challenge the coaches have been so welcoming, helpful and real. They understand that people have other factors of their lives that may influence your challenge and guide you through how to manage it. I have never once felt judged or that I was in the wrong place, and because of that I have come out with some awesome results at the end. I have never felt happier with myself, and can’t wait to see how far I can take my training because of there guidance and support. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The interaction with coaches is the best I’ve ever seen. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Workout programs are progressive and on-point. Nutritional advice is great too. Overall phenomenal experience and long May it continue.

Great app, and workouts that are tailored to your ability/availability to train.
Extremely helpful going into the gym with a plan and not just aimlessly wandering around.
Coaches are supportive and give help and advice that can be implemented to improve your fitness journey.

Can't recommend James Smith Academy enough. The app is user friendly and great to have all your details in one place. But by far the best thing about it are the coaches, they are amazing with positive support and guidance

I joined JSA after trying (and failing) for years on different programs/diets etc. All because I didn't have the support or knowledge to back up what I was doing. The coaches have been great and the reason I've actually stuck to a program and seen results. For me if you're going to embark on a training program you need professional advice and support. I will be doing another challenge as I want to build on what I've accomplished so far.

The program is set up to help you succeed. From a realistic calorie budget, manageable goal and programs that are catered to your skill, your gym or home gym usage, the amount of workouts you do per week and you can tweak it with your coach as you go. The platform and app are great and it integrates my other tracking apps so that’s great too. The online coaches will chat with you as often and as much as you need which is really helpful and motivating. They help trouble shoot any issue as they arise and they help with great tools and strategies for upcoming events, holidays, and occasions. I love that they have 12 week challenges and Facebook groups. It is so motivating and I was able to track my fitness challenge goals weekly and looking at my improvements over the 12 weeks has been really motivating. I can’t say enough about how much I have enjoyed this program and the team supporting me. Finally I love how James Smith cuts through all the BS of the fitness and diet fads. it’s refreshing and it helps keep things simple. Good job! And I’d totally recommend this program to anyone.

I joined JSA to take part in a 12 week
Challenge. I’ve found the coaches very supportive and knowledgeable, with a very friendly social media community. The exercise programs are varied and can be completely personalised; coaches will happily make changes.

Brilliant support from kind and encouraging coaches who give you practical real life strategies to help you achieve your fitness goals. Very responsive and personable. Brilliant!

You couldn’t ask for more. The coaches are brilliant and with you every step of the way. They’ll create amazing programmes for you that will challenge and motivate you but they’ll also delve into other aspects of your life that you might not expect like, diet, sleep and general well being. I’ve been a gym goer for 30 years but this kicked my ass and stopped me just turning up. It’s also caused me to re-examine other aspects of my life that need addressing. 100% worth it. Roll on the next 12 week challenge and thank you!

Really good app to kickstart whatever your goals are. Talented coaches will answer any questions you might have. It is very useful to get other perspectives on whatever your situation might be, and the coaches can help you with that. Also a good catalog of food you can make that fits your macros. As well as a good system to log progress and make/get workout plans.

I joined the academy in November having been someone who lost and put on weight for years. I wanted to change that. I wanted to get fitter and healthier and stay that way.

Since November I’ve lost over 10kg while maintaining most of my muscle. I look better and feel much better.

I’m currently at the end of my first (but not last) 12 week challenge of the academy and I found it a brilliant experience.

You get a person training programme which you can discuss with a coach to make sure it’s tailored to your needs and to the equipment you have access too. You can chat the coach during the programme to discuss what’s working and what’s not.

Then there’s the general chat with the coaches which is a lovely forum to bounce ideas off or chat to if things aren’t going well. They check in regularly to ensure your experience is a positive one.

During the challenges is, you upload at least one progress picture every week along with a measurement of your choice. This provides a little accountability and really helps you keep track of your progress.

I’m finished the challenge this weekend and taking a week off the gym and increasing my calories slightly. In the past this may have led to weight gain for me. But the academy has changed my mindset. I’m confident that I’ll keep tracking my calories and keep my activity high.

All in all, a great experience.

Love this app, the coaches are great, my program was worked around my needs and it worked! 💪🏻

What an experience!

I have procrastinated for a couple of years to actually getting involved and sign up to the JSA and I’m so pleased I took the plunge at the start of the year to sign up.

When you sign up you state the position you are in at current then you set your goal.

My goal was to loose weight. The program which I was put on was achievable and realistic.
I was given a calorie deficit to stay within each day, a protein goal (which you can exceed), a training program which I tried and tested over the weeks (I swapped out exercises I didn’t enjoy and exercises I found difficult due to mobility), a chat where I could speak to coaches re training and also a (general) chat where I could speak to coaches about anything - training, nutrition and life really (it’s a real safe space to talk)

The general chat is worth its weight in gold and those guys deserve a medal, they are so supportive and always put a positive spin on things which keep you going.

The JSA training programs are very intuitive and great for tracking performance ie weight, reps and difficulty.

There is a meal planner where you can select a load of different meals to try!

Signing up to the JSA app makes you accountable and pushes you to your goals.

I started with a 36 inch waste and I’m now at 31 inches. I feel my strength has increased massively and I have learnt a lot on this journey (the only down side is I need to get a whole new wardrobe 😅😅😅)

I feel much more confident and I’m planning to sign up for another 12 week challenge to increase muscle mass.

Really happy with the amount of advice and knowledge available from the coaches. They never take too long to respond, and are always supportive, even for me, who has been up and down like a yo yo the whole time I've been a member! It definitely works if you stick to the advice

More success with these guys then I did with Personal Trainers

The JSA programs are incredible, the easy and close interactions with the coaches are a great way to have feedback about your fitness journey and they will help you with anything they can! I really recommend it😊

Used the app for over 2 years. Coaching support is great. You have the option to set up check-ins and they always respond and keep the conversation flowing. Great when you are having a wobble. Training demos and programming excellent. If anything doesn’t work for you, they will adjust!

Loving my gym sessions. Tailored to my goals & coaches are very supportive, attentive & responsive. Highly recommended

When I first signed up I was very overweight and starting to get a little depressed.. the first 3 months training was hard and I felt uncoordinated and silly but as the months went on it got easier and easier. With food was the hardest re training my brain that food is fuel I was just fuelling with dirty fuel lol now after 15 months i understand the concept. The coaches are there for me at anytime answered even the dumbest question I had and even given a little more. I would recommend JSA to anyone. Thank you

This is a highly effective way to train, and economically, attentive coaches, easy to follow videos and instructions and help on hand with coaches and communication. LOVING IT !
