I hired Coach X after seeing a lot of hype on social media. At first, things seemed fine... he sent over a cookie-cutter meal plan and training split. But as my contest prep got deeper, he started drastically cutting my calories without explanation. I mentioned feeling dizzy and lightheaded during workouts, and he told me to ‘push through.’ There were no regular check-ins, no adjustments based on my feedback, and no real concern for my health. I ended up dropping out 4 weeks before my show because I felt completely drained and unsupported. I would not recommend this coach to anyone who values their well-being.
