@afraidoftheend “In the days of electronic information at our fingertips” This applies to every service business on the planet. Your personal opinion is that sports and fitness is easier than, say, learning how to replace a transmission But I don’t see it that way. I see many obese men (or...

@lisaj2013 I do see a lot of men hire bodybuilding coaches. But very few men hire a coach for weight loss. I think there’s something there

@balletgirl Honest answer right here

@andrea4501 Im sorry that guy was rude to you. Sounds like you’re making a rather large generalization on all coaches everywhere based on one guy?

@ellann2 Make sure you take before/after photos every few weeks (and don’t check the mirror every single day). Weight loss fluctuations are common so over time it will be obvious but short term it’s hard. Sounds like you’re doing the right things with high protein I have two thoughts though...

@o2blikehim That’s awesome! To be clear my post is on men in general not on anyone in particular. I’m sure if you’re on this sub you don’t need a trainer. That’s why I found your answer puzzling Either way I appreciate the thoughts. Such an interesting topic.

@o2blikehim We do nutrition too. It’s where I find men (anyone really) lack a lot of knowledge or ability to stick to a plan

@gmhogan77 I do think this is a huge part. Most people don’t take short term action for the long term health (with some exceptions like smoking) Almost everybody works with us to get short term goals. Dad bod is acceptable in society. Mom bod is not. Kind of sad

@jasonharless Almost all of them

@curtiscash Yeah all good points and the experts vs DIY is a good point.

@scott2511 All I’ll say is good for you. New life!

@craig784 Haha maybe I’ll just do the same. Such an interesting thing to

@chryssa1791 Yes I think about this a lot And then there’s another layer. Some things are not a sign of weakness others are For example: Mechanic - used to be men had to do this. Now it’s more common to hire out Accountant - becoming more common to hire Etc Nutrition and fitness seems...

@eamonnroma A good coach is not cheap. Doesn't mean there aren't expensive scam artists out there as well. One thing you could do instead is find an accountability group. I actually played around with this for a while by trying to create my own subreddit until I found out how hard that...

@predrag i agree. it's actually a huge challenge for my business. "trainer" can mean just about anybody with 3 weeks of studying a textbook. "nutritionist" oy don't even get me started. not even really many accredited places out there plus it's so unique to each individual. Really where we...

@icetiger100 so sad! this is what I was hoping to prevent. it only gets harder to rebuild the habit as we age (i work with mostly people in their 30s and 40s) and awesome for you man!

@mvelis15 So this is my story exactly. I think my question is why don’t most men do this? My business is just fine I am certain we provide value, i know the education and accountability combined are worth it for almost anyone who has more money than they do time… I just don’t know why almost...

@rayofhislight Fantastic response. I’ve hired many health coaches but refuse to go to therapy. So I get it.

@grace_mercy I hate to say this because I know it’s not what you want to hear - it’s not your age Does our body slowly change over time? yes. How you feel at 40 is likely quite different than 20 or even 30 years old. Do you hit a massive wall one day around 40, compared to say, 37? No...

@edram yeah i'll send it to you. reason I don't have anything listed is because I don't want this to seem like self-promotion. I know redditors can smell that from a mile away lol. would love any advice though
