What is a fitness life coach?
A fitness life coach is someone who can help you get the body you have always dreamed of and achieve your fitness goals while also taking into account how it fits into your entire life.
Because health and wellness play such a vital role in your life, your fitness goals can have a direct impact in your career, relationships, finances, and more. Therefore your coach will be mindful of all areas of your life and not just your physical training.

How to find a fitness life coach
If you want to hire a professional who is the perfect fit for your needs its going to take some time to do some research. We generally recommend that you create a list of characteristics that you seek in a coach as well as having some bullet points on what you want to accomplish.
Once you have established some clear parameters for what you seek, then we recommend you come up with some questions that you can ask your potential coach during your free consultation.
Some questions we suggest are:
- What type of coaching do you specialize in?
- Who are your preferred types of clients?
- What types of results have you helped others obtain?
- How long have you been coaching for?
Fitness Life Coach Reviews
Sara is a great person to work with. She was quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. Really makes an effort to help not only with exercise advise but also nutrition and mind set. Very open and easy to talk to. Gave me tasks to work on and gave me positive encouragement if she was happy with a workout , mind set or nutrition I was able to do.
She is extremely committed to being healthy herself and teaching others to do the same. She has such a cheerful and pleasant way of coaching that you just want to follow her example. She seems to know what each person needs to get them to the next level of fitness and vitality. She is the ideal coach and so encouraging.
Sherry sits with you and truly takes the time to understand your life, your goals and helps you understand what choices you need to make to better your life. Her group classes are high energy, intense and are guaranteed to get you into shape! The men and women that I have had the pleasure to train with in group classes are all so friendly and motivating and it truly feels like a family. Best decision I’ve made when choosing Sherry Thacker for my new fitness and health journey!
I have been with OC Fitness coach for about 2 months now. I started my weight loss journey just over a year ago and in total, I have lost about 80lbs. Nearly 20 of those have come off in the last 2 months alone working with OC Fitness Coach. Trying to lose weight by myself, I hit a point where I stalled and needed help, both nutritionally and with exercise. Marta and Dan have worked with me on a truly 1 on 1 basis to personalize not only my weekly workouts but my daily nutrition. I have felt such a drastic improvement in not only my weight, but my daily activity/sleep/mood/and overall health and well being since starting here. I would recommend OC Fitness Coach to anyone, both experienced or just beginning, that is looking to be challenged by an extremely knowledgeable staff.
I have been with this Fitness Life Coach for 8 months now. It is the best decision I have ever made. I moved back to the area after going to college. I was overweight and out of shape from drinking too many beer and not working out in over 3 years. Dan and his staff are the best. I have worked out with Dan, Taran and Russ. All three have a different style which I like but ultimately the goal for all three of them is to help you reach your goals. They hold you accountable not only with exercise but with diet and nutrition as well. The biggest eye opener for me was my diet. Dan and his crew helped me realize that eating healthy is 95% of the challenge and the fastest way to get results. I have lost 35 pounds and am still on a mission to lose 15 more. I would recommend them to anyone ready to make a change in their life!!!!
If you are looking for quality, commitment to helping you reach your goals, and for a team that is dedicated to having an extensive knowledge base on all things related to fitness then OPT is the place to go!! Working with Michael has been more than an anything I could have ever hoped for and I am extraordinarily lucky to be able to have him as my coach!
I have not even started the venture yet and Sherry has been so attentive and answered all my questions so far that I have had even before our meeting!!!I listened to all your testimony’s and honestly because part of my anxiety is starting and meeting new people and things..It seems to be such a nice community and make everybody feel welcome.Thank you Nancy Cote for also introducing me to this.
Elite Training is the coach of professional coaches and serious athletes. They are doing valuable work raising the standards of practice in this modern paradigm of functional fitness. Their experience and insight into the appropriate training of all levels of athletes is unrivaled.
I am extremely glad to met Coach Brian from his meeting. He is a mindful listener with a positive attitude. I shared all my obstacles and he designed a perfect routine based on that. The workout video and meal plans on the fitness program are extremely detail oriented and helpful. Coach Brian also reminded me to follow the workout routine regularly. BEST mentor I have ever seen. Highly Recommended.
There are a lot of online and on demand training programs out there, but Brian is the defining factor that makes Online Fitness Coach successful. He is very attentive to your needs and questions and always quick to respond. Never once do you ever feel you signed up for a program and then your on an island alone. You will for sure see results if you do what he tells you to do!
