Contest Prep Coaching Question : r/bikinitalk

I’m about to officially start prep in a couple of weeks. The prospective coach I’m looking at is charging $90 a week ($1800 for a 20 week prep- assuming that’s when I’ll actually start. He wants me to start prep ASAP).

The $90 a week includes 6 workouts every week, posing every week and meal plans every week.

I’ve been working with him for posing sessions ($30 per session) and just recently started joining in for the weekly workouts which I just found out are going to cost me which is fine. Is the $90 per week a fair/average price for contest prep? He’s said he’s coached some girls to pro level, but I want more information.

I’m very new to this and don’t know what questions I should be asking and don’t feel comfortable just agreeing for the sake of having an in-person coach. I want to feel confident in spending this money.

If you’re a coach/have been coached by someone really good, what were the prices? What questions should I be asking? Are there any coaches here who do contest prep. Any input is helpful. Thank you.

$360 a month but this doesn’t include posing ($30) or group training sessions? It sounds like you’ll be pushing $500 a month which is pretty steep. As Pressonandy mentioned, Team Elite offers cheaper coaching and they are pretty top notch in the bikini world.

The $360 would include one posing session a week, weekly nutrition plan and weekly training plan/sessions (assuming I could make the group training session) which I think is still steep. What are Team Elites pricing?

Why would you need a weekly nutrition plan? Coaches should absolutely adjust macros and cardio but every week is overkill
