FAQ
Straight answers
Everything people usually ask before applying. Anything else — ask on the consult call, it's free.
How does online coaching actually work?
You get your programme and nutrition through your phone, train wherever you train, log your sessions and check in weekly. Sean reviews your training, your lifts and your progress, then adjusts the plan. It's the same coaching relationship as in-person — minus the commute, and with a coach who sees all your data, not just one session a week.
Is online coaching as good as in-person PT?
For most goals, better. An in-person PT sees you one hour a week; an online coach programmes all your sessions and reviews the week's work. You need to be able to train without someone standing over you — the consult call is where we make sure that's you.
What's the difference between 1:1 and group coaching?
1:1 is fully bespoke — your programme, your nutrition, weekly personal check-ins and direct access to Sean. Group runs on structured goal-track programming with group check-ins and community support at a lower price. Same standards, different amounts of Sean's time.
What results should I expect, and how fast?
Honest answer: meaningful body composition or strength change shows in 8–12 weeks of consistent work. Anyone promising a transformation in a fortnight is selling you something. Sean will give you a realistic timeline for your goal on the consult call.
I have an old injury. Can I still train?
Almost always yes — training around and eventually through limitations is one of Sean's specialities. Flag it in your application so it shapes the programme from day one.
What equipment do I need?
Whatever you have is what the programme is built for — full gym, garage setup or minimal kit. Equipment is part of the intake questionnaire.
How do payments work?
Coaching is billed monthly by standing order or direct debit, set up when you join. One-off plans are paid by card. No long contracts — coaching is rolling monthly.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time before your next billing month. No exit fees, no awkward conversation.
Do you coach beginners?
Yes. A big share of Sean's clients started as complete beginners with a recomposition goal. The programme meets you at your level.
Where is Sean based? Do we ever meet?
Coaching is fully online, so location doesn't matter — check-ins and form reviews happen over video. Follow along on Instagram (@seanekilapt) to see the day-to-day.
