Coaching and getting started

What is included in online coaching?

You get 1-on-1 coaching with Coach Josh: custom training, nutrition guidance, form feedback from your videos, and progress tracking in the TrueCoach app. As you train and give feedback, your program is adjusted so you keep progressing. The app stores your workouts, history, feedback, and check-ins.

Is coaching available internationally?

Yes. Coaching is available worldwide. Live calls and messaging run on Tasmania, Australia time, and subscriptions are billed in Australian dollars.

How do I get started?

Fill in the Apply for coaching form on this page and Coach Josh will be in touch.

Training and programs

How is my program delivered?

All your training, nutrition, and lifestyle programming is delivered through the TrueCoach app, so everything is in one place on your phone. The app is also how you stay in regular contact with Coach Josh.

What equipment do I need?

About half of clients train at home with simple, affordable equipment like resistance bands. Your program is built around whatever you have, and Coach Josh can help you set up a home gym if you want one.

Do I need a smartwatch or fitness tracker?

No. You only need an Android or iPhone. If you have a Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, or Wear OS watch, it can be linked to TrueCoach to track workouts and heart rate.

Nutrition

Is nutrition coaching included?

Yes. The focus is on whole foods and sustainable habits. You will not get a fixed meal plan; instead Coach Josh teaches you to build your own, and you track your eating in TrueCoach or MyFitnessPal.

The Vault

What is the Vault?

The Vault is Coach Josh's online training library. It is sold separately from coaching and comes with lifetime access. It is not included in online coaching, because coaching clients already get a fully personalised program built for them.

In person in Australia

Do you offer anything in person?

Yes. In Australia, Coach Josh offers public speaking, workshops, bush skills in Tasmania, and mace and gada training. If you are in Hobart and looking for personal training, online coaching is the way to work with Coach Josh, so you get the same support wherever you train.

Payments, contracts, and guarantee

How much does coaching cost?

Coaching starts with a 12-week start-up at A$1,999 (US$1,297) for the 12 weeks. After that, it moves to a weekly rate. Get in touch via the contact page for current rates.

Is there a contract?

There is no ongoing contract after the initial 12-week start-up. Coaching then continues at the weekly rate and renews automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time by giving Coach Josh 30 days' notice directly in the coaching app.

Is there a results guarantee?

Yes. If weight loss is your focus, you are guaranteed to lose at least 4 kg (8.8 lb) within 12 weeks, or Coach Josh keeps coaching you for free until you do. To qualify, you need to record your weight and any measurements Coach Josh sets at least once a week, complete 90% of your training program, track your food using the methods Coach Josh sets, including calorie and macro targets, and reach out for help if you are not losing 0.5 kg (1 lb) per week.

Do you offer refunds or payment plans?

Coaching is non-refundable, except where stated, such as under the results guarantee. Payment plans can be arranged. Get in touch via the contact page to set one up.
