Question 1

How does online coaching actually work?

Accepted Answer

You're onboarded inside the FitnessLDN app. You receive a bespoke training programme, a nutrition framework, weekly video check-ins and direct WhatsApp access to Fahad. Sessions, form videos, weights and metrics are logged in-app and reviewed each week.

Question 2

Do I need a specific gym?

Accepted Answer

No. Programmes are written around your environment, a commercial gym, a private studio, a hotel gym or a home setup with dumbbells, bands and a pull-up bar. Equipment is mapped during onboarding so nothing is generic.

Question 3

How often do we speak?

Accepted Answer

Weekly 1-to-1 calibration calls plus unlimited messaging through the week. Form video reviews are returned within 24 hours. Premium clients receive on-demand voice notes from Fahad personally.

Question 4

Which time zones do you coach in?

Accepted Answer

Current online clients sit across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, the US and Asia. Calls are scheduled around your time zone, not the other way round.

Question 5

Where do you train clients in London?

Accepted Answer

Mayfair, Kensington, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Notting Hill, St John's Wood, Belgravia and the City. Sessions take place at your residence, private gym, members' club or hotel, whichever is most discreet.

Question 6

Can you train me at my home gym?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Home gym sessions are a core part of the Premium service. Fahad arrives with everything required, programming, equipment audit, recovery tools.

Question 7

Are partner or couples sessions available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, semi-private 1-to-2 sessions are available for partners, family members or close colleagues, programmed individually but trained together.

Question 8

Is the service discreet?

Accepted Answer

NDA-protected by default. No social posts, no name-drops, no public training. Discretion is a standard of the service, not a paid upgrade.

Question 9

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Strength, energy and sleep shift within the first 2–3 weeks. Visible composition change typically lands between weeks 4 and 8. By week 12 the photo speaks for itself, assuming consistent training, sleep and adherence.

Question 10

What's a realistic 12-week transformation?

Accepted Answer

Most clients move 4–8kg of body fat while preserving or adding lean tissue. The number on the scale matters less than the shape, posture and strength markers, all tracked weekly.

Question 11

How long until I can stop coaching?

Accepted Answer

Most clients stay 6–12 months. The objective is autonomy, you leave with the literacy to train, eat and recover for life. Results that don't expire.

Question 12

What happens after the transformation?

Accepted Answer

Clients transition into a Maintenance protocol, lower-touch coaching, quarterly recalibration, lifetime access to the framework. The physique is held, not lost.

Question 13

Is nutrition included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, included as standard in Transformation and Premium. You receive bespoke macro targets, a flexible food framework, sample menus and weekly adjustments based on your weigh-ins and energy data.

Question 14

Do I have to eat 'clean' food only?

Accepted Answer

No. The framework is built around foods you actually enjoy and a lifestyle you can sustain, including restaurants, travel and social occasions. Rigidity is the enemy of long-term results.

Question 15

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low FODMAP, allergies and intolerances are all programmed around. Specify during onboarding.

Question 16

Do you offer standalone nutrition coaching?

Accepted Answer

Yes, nutrition-only coaching is available from £99/month for clients who already have their training handled and need fuel and recovery dialled in.

Question 17

What happens in a check-in?

Accepted Answer

Weekly photos, weigh-in average, performance data, sleep, stress and adherence are reviewed. Fahad returns a personalised video or call within 24 hours with the next week's calibration.

Question 18

Do I need a smart scale or wearable?

Accepted Answer

Helpful but not required. A standard scale, a tape measure and weekly photos give us enough signal. Whoop, Oura and Garmin data is welcome if you have it.

Question 19

What if I miss a check-in?

Accepted Answer

Nothing punitive, life happens. We use the next data point and recalibrate. Consistency over a quarter matters more than any single week.

Question 20

Do I need supplements?

Accepted Answer

Not to get results. Food, sleep and training drive 95% of the outcome. Supplements are used surgically, to fill genuine gaps or support recovery, never as a sales line.

Question 21

What do you typically recommend?

Accepted Answer

Whey or vegan protein, creatine monohydrate, vitamin D3+K2, magnesium glycinate and omega-3 EPA/DHA cover most clients. Anything beyond is justified by bloodwork or a specific goal.

Question 22

Do you sell supplements?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no affiliate links, no markup, no in-house brand. You buy direct from trusted third parties, usually saving more than the cost of a session.

Question 23

What does coaching invest at?

Accepted Answer

London face-to-face: Starter 6 sessions, Transformation 12 sessions, and Premium 20 sessions. Rest of UK online clients receive lower online-only pricing. Morocco clients are billed in MAD. Full tiers and inclusions are on the Packages page.

Question 24

Is there a minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

Transformation and Premium are quarterly (12 weeks) because that's the honest window for visible change. Online is month-to-month after the first quarter.

Question 25

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Card, bank transfer and Apple Pay. Quarterly and annual prepayment unlocks a fixed-rate discount and priority scheduling.

Question 26

Is there a discovery call?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a complimentary 20-minute consultation is offered to every applicant before any commitment. It's a conversation, not a sales pitch.

Question 27

How do you coach me when I'm travelling?

Accepted Answer

Your programme adapts in real time. Hotel-gym sessions, bodyweight protocols and travel-day fuelling are pre-built so you never lose the week. Time zone and jet-lag adjustments are baked in.

Question 28

Can Fahad travel with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for Premium clients, on-location coaching is available globally for shoots, training camps, residencies and family travel. Subject to availability and travel costs.

Question 29

What if my hotel gym is poor?

Accepted Answer

There's a pre-built bands-and-bodyweight protocol that holds the physique with zero equipment. You'll have it on your phone before you board.

Question 30

Can you train me at my hotel suite?

Accepted Answer

Yes, discreet sessions at The Connaught, Claridge's, The Berkeley, Bulgari, Four Seasons, Corinthia and other private residences. Equipment is brought in where needed.

Question 31

Do you build home gyms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, full equipment audits and home-gym specs are part of the Premium service. From a single rack to a full residential studio, the kit is matched to the programme and the space.

Question 32

Is the home gym option more expensive?

Accepted Answer

There's a modest travel premium for in-residence sessions outside Zone 1. It's quoted transparently up front, no surprises on the invoice.

Question 33

How does onboarding work?

Accepted Answer

Four steps: Apply → 20-minute consultation → bespoke plan delivered within 72 hours → first session scheduled within seven days of approval. Every step is handled personally by Fahad, never an assistant.

Question 34

What information do you need from me?

Accepted Answer

A medical and training history, goal photos, current routine, sleep and stress baseline, and any imaging or bloodwork you'd like reviewed. The intake is comprehensive but takes under 20 minutes.

Question 35

Do you accept everyone who applies?

Accepted Answer

No. Roster size is capped to protect quality. Applications are accepted based on fit, commitment and current availability, usually a short waitlist for in-person, immediate for online.

Question 36

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Quarterly packages can be paused or cancelled at the end of any 12-week block with 14 days' notice. Sessions cancelled with 24+ hours' notice are rescheduled at no charge.

Question 37

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Unused, unstarted blocks are refunded in full within 7 days of purchase. Partially completed blocks are pro-rated where there's a genuine reason (medical, relocation, bereavement), handled case by case.

Question 38

Can I pause coaching for travel or surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, coaching can be paused for up to 8 weeks per year at no cost. Longer pauses are accommodated where possible and credited to your next block.
