Coaching
Whether you're chasing a pro card, booking your first shoot or just want to see what you're capable of, every client gets a plan written for them and a coach who reads every check-in.

First show to pro card. Off-season, prep, peak week and show day for Bikini, Figure, Wellness, Men's Physique and Bodybuilding.
Explore
A date in the diary, a physique goal off the stage, and photos that prove the work. All of the result, none of the judges.
Explore
Lose body fat, build muscle and pick up habits that last long after the plan ends.
ExploreWhat you get
No templates, no copy-and-paste plans. Four things every Team CJM client gets from day one.
Written for you alone. Tempo, intensity and progression spelled out, with video demos for every movement.
Want to hit macros? Done. Prefer a full meal plan? Sorted. Flexible, and built around food you'll actually enjoy.
Photos, measurements, sleep, stress and more, every week, so your plan adapts as fast as you do.
The Coach J McHale app holds your whole plan and gives you a direct line to your coach for technique, questions and the hard days.
The proof
From complete beginners to IFBB and PCA Pros. Hundreds of clients have stood on stage or in front of a camera in the best shape of their lives.
The coaches
Both of our coaches have stood on stage themselves. They know what prep takes, because they've done it.

Meet Josh McHale
Competition Prep & Lifestyle Coach
15+ years of training and a decade in the industry. He has competed as a natural junior and as an assisted athlete, and puts mental and physical wellbeing first.
Meet Josh HarrisonIf you're only switched on in prep, you'll never be satisfied by the end result.
He genuinely helps me strive to be my best self every day. I am motivated and encouraged by that. He has invested in me as a person and we have worked together to achieve my results.
He's helped me progress year on year, down to his coaching style and his knowledge. He's patient, understanding and listens.
How it works
No waiting around. Here's what happens after you hit apply.
Tell us your goal, your training history and your timeline. It takes about three minutes.
We look at your current physique (and your last stage physique if you've competed), talk classes and federations, and agree a plan of action.
Training, nutrition and targets go live in the app, ready for day one.
Weekly check-ins keep you moving forward, and they get more frequent as show day gets closer.
An in-person coach is usually paid for the hour they spend with you in the gym. An online coach works around the clock: your training, your nutrition, your check-ins and a direct line through our app whenever you need it.
The goal is the same, getting you to yours, but the support doesn't stop when you leave the gym.
Yes. On your consultation call we'll talk through your goals and recommend the coach best suited to them, but the final say is yours.
Access to the Coach J McHale app, where you'll find your training programme and either a meal plan or macros (depending on your experience and how much flexibility you want), plus messaging support. Fire any question at us and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Once a week you'll send front, side and back photos, measurements (for example biceps, waist, hips and glutes) and notes on your sleep, food, water intake, stress and, for women, your menstrual cycle.
Competitors close to a show check in more often during the week, as agreed with their coach.
