Subject: RE: Cost for Coaching... Magella - 2009-03-10 8:34 AM I pay a little over $100 a month for a GREAT coach who I can contact as many times as I want by phone or email. He gives me my personalized workouts, race plans and any other advice I want. He is an amazing athlete and has a great history with athletes. That being said...I know other coaches in my area who charge almost $300/mos for limited contact and generic workouts. The best you can do is look around and consider your budget. I knew I couldn't afford more then $200/mos and got super lucky with my coach. x2 on the shop around. I did some recent coach shopping, and I found a widely varied level of cost, and a wide approach in how workouts were set up. Some were little more than downloading a BT plan and emailing someone about it once a month, while others the coach seemed like he moved in. :D Also, interview the coach like you would someone you were hiring for a business. A coach that you don't agree with or has funky philosophies that you will ignore anyway is just a recipe for throwing money away. My coach runs me $200 a month, unlimited email and phone, personalized plans. I'll also be starting coaching again soon, and he will be monitoring my plans to make sure I'm not killing anyone. Not right away, anyway. John |
