What you get

Everything.
Nothing generic.

No templates, no copy-and-paste plans. Four things every Team CJM client gets from day one.

Bespoke training

Written for you alone. Tempo, intensity and progression spelled out, with video demos for every movement.

Tailored nutrition

Want to hit macros? Done. Prefer a full meal plan? Sorted. Flexible, and built around food you'll actually enjoy.

Weekly check-ins

Photos, measurements, sleep, stress and more, every week, so your plan adapts as fast as you do.

Your coach, in the app

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.

What our athletes say

If you're only switched on in prep, you'll never be satisfied by the end result.

Josh McHale, Founder

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.

@jodi_delade

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

From application
to day one.

No waiting around. Here's what happens after you hit apply.

  1. Apply

    Tell us your goal, your training history and your timeline. It takes about three minutes.

  2. Consultation call

    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.

  3. Your plan lands

    Training, nutrition and targets go live in the app, ready for day one.

  4. Check in. Adapt. Repeat.

    Weekly check-ins keep you moving forward, and they get more frequent as show day gets closer.

How is an online coach different from an in-person coach?

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.

Can I choose which coach I work with?

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.

What does my programme include?

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.

What is a check-in?

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.
