Online Coaching for Men Who Train Hard and Want the Results to Match
If you’re working hard but the results have stopped coming, often it isn’t effort that’s missing, but two or three things holding you back.
Since 2011, we’ve worked with over 2,000 guys, coaching them past their plateau. We simplify things as much as we can, so that the plan fits your life rather than the other way around.
We’ll tell you what’s realistic for you before any commitments are made.
No supplements, no fad diets, no sacrificing your life to the gym.
It depends what you’re after.
If fat loss is your primary goal, that’s typically 3–9 months. Ten pounds takes about 3 months, twenty about 6, thirty about 9. Faster isn’t better. It’s unsustainable, sets you up for a rebound, and costs you the strength and muscle you can gain while leaning out.
Most of our clients come for this and stop here, happy. You’ll be lighter, pound for pound stronger, and many say they feel 5 years younger.
If you want to be visibly bigger as well, that takes longer. As an experienced trainee, you won’t get there by continuing to try to lose fat and build muscle at the same time. You’ll need to alternate cutting and bulking phases.
The first step is usually the cut described above, to get you lean enough for a 10–12-month bulking phase, followed by a short cut of 3–4 months to reveal what you built. That’s 16–25 months in total, depending on where you start.
We’ll dive into specific recommendations when you apply.
How We Coach
In-person coaching limits you to whoever happens to be nearby.
Our online system gives you access to coaches with over a decade of experience and a proven framework refined through 2,000+ client transformations.
We coach 1-on-1 via email. Every two weeks, you’ll send us your progress data:
✅ Weight
✅ Measurements
✅ Diet adherence
✅ Training log
We review it, assess your progress, and adjust as needed so you stay on track.
This isn’t a flood of DMs or weekly Zooms. We’ve found that structured, spaced feedback leads to better questions and deeper thinking.
Our clients are already successful in other areas of life. They could figure this out eventually, but they’d rather skip the guesswork and leave the decisions in the hands of an experienced professional.
You might be doing this for the first time. We’ve guided thousands of guys down this path before you, and we’ll walk you through it, too.
We’re in the Referral Business, Not the Repeat Business
A transformation you can’t maintain isn’t one worth chasing. Over our time together, you’ll:
- Lock in the habits that move the needle.
- Learn how to adjust your diet and training as life changes.
- Simplify your approach so it’s easy to stick with.
You won’t just make progress. You’ll understand why it’s working and how to keep it going. The goal is to get you to the point where you no longer need us.
Who Our Coaching Is For
We’re Matt, Andy, and Sam, coaches at Ripped Body.
For over a decade, we’ve specialized in working with men who train hard and want their results to show.
- You lift, and you want to look like it.
- You run a team or business, and your time is not your own.
- You’ve hit a plateau, and what you’ve tried doing in the past hasn’t been sustainable.
We’ve coached thousands of men in that position, mentored other coaches, and written books that others in the industry study.
Coach Andy reads every application and writes your roadmap. He sets the initial strategy, and Matt or Sam coaches you from there.
We only take on a small number of clients at a time. There are three of us, and there’s a limit to how many people we can coach at this depth. If we don’t think we’re a good fit, we’ll tell you and let you know who is.
What the Coaching Experience Looks Like
1️⃣ We make sure we’re a good fit.
It starts with a written application, no sales call. The full process is further down this page.
2️⃣ Your coach builds your personalized training and nutrition plan.
Most clients train 3–4 days per week and eat 2–3 meals per day.
We build your plan around your schedule, experience, and preferences. No fluff, no guesswork.
3️⃣ You check in every two weeks.
You’ll submit your tracking data and answer a few quick questions.
Your job: log your progress, stick to the plan, and flag anything that feels off.
Our job: assess your data, make adjustments, and keep you moving forward.
Their Words, Not Ours
How Much Does Coaching Cost?
Coaching is $250–300 per two-week cycle (about $540–650 a month), depending on whether you take the email-only or the email + video analysis option. Billing is every two weeks, 26 cycles a year.
We ask for 12 weeks as a minimum. This is the shortest run in which the numbers mean anything. Any less and we’d be reacting to noise, and so would you. It’s the same reason we sometimes tell a client to change nothing for a month.
After that, you stay or go as you choose. We don’t discount to keep anyone.
This is what it costs, and this is what you get. If it’s not right for you, that’s a fine answer.
Our Application Process
1️⃣ Click the button below to apply. It takes about 30 seconds.
2️⃣ We’ll email you the questionnaire: 10 questions about you, your training, and your goals. Most people take 15–20 minutes to answer. This is worth doing properly, because of what comes next.
3️⃣ You send your answers.
4️⃣ Coach Andy will personally review your case and send you a roadmap covering:
— What’s realistic for you, and whether to start with a cut or bulking phase.
— The key changes needed to get there.
— Where we’ll go from there, and how long the full arc takes.
You get that whether or not we end up working together.
5️⃣ If we’re aligned, we’ll send you the start details and payment link.
6️⃣ Once payment is confirmed, your coach will build your personalized training and nutrition plan within two working days. You’ll start that weekend.
Coaching FAQ
Wondering if this is right for you? Here are answers to the most common questions we get:
How do I know if this will work for me?
We can’t promise results, but you won’t be deciding blind. Apply, answer our questions, and Coach Andy will personally send you an honest breakdown of what’s achievable in your case before any payment is taken. If we don’t think we can help, we’ll tell you and point you somewhere better.
That’s why there’s no payment button here. We’ll have a conversation over email first to make sure this is a fit.
Who will my coach be?
Coach Andy reads every application and writes your roadmap. If we’re a fit, Matt or Sam will coach you from there. We’ll tell you before you pay.
What’s the difference between the Email-Only and Email + Video Analysis options?
With the video package, your coach sends a screen-recorded walkthrough of your progress every check-in, breaking down your data, giving feedback, and explaining the next steps. You’ll also get summary notes via email.
What is the commitment?
✅ 12-week minimum.
✅ Check in via email every other weekend.
✅ No calls. No added meetings.
✅ Tell us when you’re struggling, early.
That’s it. Perfection isn’t required. Just consistency and communication.
Will I have to eat like a monk?
Definitely not. A sustainable diet includes foods you enjoy.
Most clients build 6–8 go-to meals that hit their macros and rotate through them. We’ll help you create a setup that fits your preferences and lifestyle.
What if I travel a lot or have a weird schedule?
No problem. We’ve coached guys who constantly travel, work shifts, or juggle unpredictable demands. The system is built to flex with your life, as long as you stay communicative.
Can I sign up for nutrition-only coaching?
No. Diet and training need to work together to drive results.
That said, we won’t force you into a training style you don’t enjoy. Your plan will be built around your preferences. Often, this means tweaking your current programming, not sweeping changes. We also happily accommodate people who have in-person trainers as long as their styles don’t vastly differ.
Why do you have coaching eligibility requirements?
Because clear requirements protect your time as much as ours. Here’s the reasoning behind each:
✅ Men only – We’ve specialized in men’s coaching for over a decade, and we don’t pretend to be generalists.
✅ Age 20+ – This aligns with Japan’s legal adult age (where the company is registered).
✅ Willing to track food intake – Our coaching is data-driven. Your calorie adherence is the data. Without it, there’s nothing to assess, nothing to adjust, and nothing to coach.
✅ Training experience required – Novices need in-person guidance to build form and intensity. This is online coaching, not personal training.
✅ No injuries or medical conditions that prevent training or dieting – We’re coaches, not clinicians. If your situation needs a doctor or physio leading it, that’s their lane, not ours. (Old injuries and managed conditions are usually fine; we work around those every day. If you’re unsure, apply and tell us in your answers.)
✅ No diagnosed eating disorders – Tracking food and chasing physique goals can do real harm with an eating disorder history. That needs clinical support that we’re not qualified to give.
✅ No anabolic steroid users – This isn’t our world. Our results come from smarter training and nutrition, not drug protocols. (Medically prescribed TRT is fine; that’s healthcare, not a shortcut.)
✅ Willing to spend $250–300 per two-week cycle (about $540–650 a month) – Nobody likes a pricing ambush. We’d rather you know the number before you spend a minute applying.
How do you take payments?
We use Stripe for simple, secure, recurring payments. No lock-in beyond the 12-week minimum; cancel anytime after that. No surprises.
