Q1.2 There are so many scams out there. How do I know your program is legitimate?
A1.2 We understand the concern given the prevalence of scams. Our legitimacy is backed by professional certifications, real client transformations, and active professional affiliations in the fitness industry. We encourage new clients to review our Google reviews and client transformations and testimonials on our website, and to connect with current and past clients for firsthand accounts.

A1.3 While individual results can vary, we guarantee to provide all the tools, support, and guidance necessary to achieve significant physique changes from fat-loss and muscle-gain. We provide personalised workouts and nutrition plans, ongoing coaching, extensive support both from the coaches and community, and continual adjustments based on your progress, feedback and requests along the way. We cannot guarantee you put in the work, but we can guarantee that if you do, you’ll see the best results of your life.
Q1.4 What makes Leppan Physiques online coaching worth the investment?
A1.4 We’ll change your whole philosophy on training and eating, and align it with achieving the best possible aesthetic results. Too often, we see guys training regularly and not seeing any visible changes year after year, and the fix is so simple. It’s not some complicated workout program with ‘advanced exercises’ etc. This fix is to simply better understand what you’re in the gym to do if your goal is aesthetics. Our program offers comprehensive value through highly personalised training plans, nutritional guidance, ongoing support from certified trainers, and access to a community of like-minded individuals. This holistic approach ensures you not only achieve, but also maintain your results.
Q1.5 I've tried other programs before, how is this any different?
A1.5 Leppan Physiques is not a 'program', it is a highly-tailored online coaching service. Here you are not purchasing a generic meal plan based on macros from an online calculator, you are now hiring a coach, who will monitor your progress and make adjustments to your training, cardio, supplementation and nutrition to ensure you are always on the most efficient path towards your goals. And if and when those goals change or evolve along the way, your program will change, too.
Q1.6 Will Leppan Physiques online coaching work for my unique body type and fitness level?
A1.6 Our program is designed to be highly adaptable, catering to a wide range of body types, body composition levels, and training starting points. We begin with a detailed assessment to tailor the program specifically to your needs, ensuring optimal aesthetic results. This isn’t an off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all program. We have a set of principles, or pillars as we refer to them, which will guide progress for everyone seeking aesthetic muscle-gain, but individual workouts, workout frequency, and meal plans are tailored to your unique circumstances.
Q1.7 How much time do I need to dedicate to this program each week?
A1.7 The program is flexible and can be adjusted to fit into your schedule. Generally, we recommend a commitment of 2-5 hours per week for training, which can be broken down into manageable sessions. Fat-loss is largely down to nutrition, and in many cases, simply correcting what’s going in will stop the body storing fat, and even with current expenditure, a degree of fat-loss will be seen. For many, training 3 times/week at 100% intensity will outperform training at 80% intensity 5 or 6 times/week when it comes to adding muscle. The program will be adapted based on your availability. We can start with 3 times/week and move up to 4 or 5, and back down again if your circumstances change.
Q1.8 Do you have different programs and packages available?
A1.8 We do not sell off-the-shelf or cookie-cutter-style programs. Every single online coaching program is designed and built from scratch to fit the client's lifestyle and goals perfectly.
Q1.9 Do you work with beginners?
A1.9 Absolutely! Our coaching caters to all levels—from complete beginners to seasoned competitors.
Q1.10 What makes Leppan Physiques online coaching worth the investment?
A1.10 We’ll change your whole philosophy on training and eating, and align it with achieving the best possible aesthetic results. Too often, we see guys training regularly and not seeing any visible changes year after year, and the fix is so simple. It’s not some complicated workout program with ‘advanced exercises’ etc. This fix is to simply better understand what you’re in the gym to do if your goal is aesthetics. Our program offers comprehensive value through highly personalised training plans, nutritional guidance, ongoing support from certified trainers, and access to a community of like-minded individuals. This holistic approach ensures you not only achieve, but also maintain your results.
Q1.11 Do I need to be in a certain condition to be ready for online coaching?
A1.11 No, the further you are away from your goals, the more you'll benefit from getting onto the most efficient path today.
Q1.12 I've never trained in a gym before, is online coaching for me?
A1.12 Definitely. We will help you with form and safety when using equipment, machines, and free weights through hundreds of instructional videos, and 1-1 coaching reviewing your form videos if necessary.
2. Nutrition & Training Approach
Q2.1 How personalised is Leppan Physiques online coaching?
A2.1 You will receive a highly personalised program; a unique blueprint for your physique only. We take into account your specific goals, current condition, and any special requirements such as available equipment, to create a program that’s uniquely yours. This customisation extends to workout routines, nutritional plans, and recovery strategies. If a machine in your gym breaks down, we will change your program for you. If you cannot prepare a meal, or grow tired of a certain dinner, or want to include more eggs etc, we will make those changes that same week—this is premium personalised coaching.
Q2.2 Can the program accommodate specific dietary restrictions?
A2.2 Yes, our nutritional guidance is fully customisable to accommodate allergies, intolerances, and personal preferences to ensure your diet is both enjoyable and effective in reaching your physique goals. Our whole philosophy around meal plans is to encourage frequent changes and adaptations to eventually reach a point of near perfection, where your ‘diet’ that you eat every day becomes both convenient and enjoyable, and almost slots into the background, allowing you to focus on your progress in the gym, and in life in general, knowing you are optimally fuelled to see results. At that point, it becomes repeatable, week after week, year after year even, without draining willpower. You will never be thinking “6 weeks left of this sh*t” and be dying to get off a meal plan and “go back to normal”—you will have created a new normal.
Q2.3 How does the program ensure long-term sustainability of results?
A2.3 We focus on educating you about training and nutritional strategies that promote sustainable muscle growth and lean body composition. The knowledge you gain during the program will empower you to maintain and even build upon your results independently, long after working with us.
Q2.4 Are the exercises in this program suitable for beginners or those at a higher level?
A2.4 The most effective exercises to build muscle are inherently suited to all levels—because they’re simple, and do not need to be complicated. There is no such thing as ‘advanced exercises,’ unless you’re training for performance, in which case you aren’t prioritising muscle gain. This is something our program addresses and clarifies. Our emphasis is on teaching you to be better at simple exercises. Most of the best physiques in the world have been built from the same 25-50 basic exercises, without a wrist cuff in sight!
Q2.5 What measures are in place to ensure the safety of the workouts?
A2.5 All our workout plans are designed by certified professionals with a keen focus on safety. We provide clear instructions and video demonstrations to ensure proper form and technique are maintained to prevent injuries.
Q2.6 How fast will I lose fat?
A2.6 This will depend on your initial body fat percentage; the higher it is now, the faster you'll lose fat at the beginning. We do not use drastic weight-loss methods at the expense of losing muscle-mass or compromising health. Severe deficits, and/or inadequate nutrition such as when relying exclusively on shakes, or cutting out entire food groups, will almost always result in uncontrollable binging, and the regain of body fat after the program. For clients focused on fat loss, we use balanced recommended nutrition programs, providing as much good quality, unprocessed nutrition as possible, whilst still creating a subtle and sustainable deficit. On average, this will result in weight-loss of approx. 1% of your total body weight per week. For men over 100kg, and women over 80kg, it could be closer to 1.5%.
Q2.7 Will I have to do cardio for fat loss?
A2.7 No, all clients start with zero cardio at first. We ensure your regular weight training, combined with your meal plan, are creating the required calorie deficit. Once weekly fat loss is achieved, cardio may be gradually introduced, and only if requested. It's entirely possible to lose fat by being consistent with your meal plan and weight training alone, without ever doing cardio.
Q2.8 Will I have to eat 6 meals/day and train 5 times/week like a bodybuilder?
A2.8 No, your meal frequency and training sessions are completely flexible and adjusted weekly based on your lifestyle.
Q2.9 What equipment do I need to participate in this program?
A2.9 Most exercises can be performed with basic gym equipment. For those training at home, we offer modifications that require minimal equipment. We encourage you to send in photos of your gym equipment to allow us to tailor the workout program to your exact specification.
Q2.10 Can I still eat the foods I love while following your program?
A2.10 Yes! Our meal plans focus on real food and balance, not restriction. We help you learn how to include foods you enjoy in a way that supports your goals without compromising results​.
Q2.11 Do I have to count every calorie or track macros?
A2.11 No. While we provide guidance on calories and macros, our main focus is teaching you how to make better food choices and build habits that don’t rely on tracking forever​.
Q2.12 What if I have cravings or struggle to stay consistent with food?
A2.12 That’s normal—and we’re here to help. Through weekly check-ins, personalised plans, and direct access to your coach, we guide you through strategies to manage cravings and stay on track, even when life gets busy.
Q2.13 How is the Leppan Physiques meal plan structured around training?
A2.13 We intentionally place a higher proportion of carbohydrates around your training window to support performance and recovery. However, this can be adjusted based on individual feedback—if you're feeling overly full before training, we can shift some of those carbs to earlier, or later in the day.
Q2.14 Do you base meal plans on a specific calorie deficit, like 20%?
A2.14 While percentages like a 10, 15 or 20% deficit can be a helpful guide, our focus is on how your body responds to real, nutrient-dense whole foods. We’ve found that clients often achieve better fat loss with more whole food—even at higher calories—compared to smaller amounts of processed food.
Q2.15 What if I eat something off-plan during the week?
A2.15 Occasional minor deviations—like a few crackers or a handful of chips—won’t derail your progress, especially if consistency is high overall. Being transparent in your check-ins helps us keep your plan realistic and maintain momentum.
Q2.16 Why does Leppan Physiques put so much emphasis on whole foods?
A2.16 Whole foods are metabolised very differently from processed alternatives. Our coaching avoids the outdated “calories in vs. calories out” mindset and instead prioritises food quality to drive fat loss, improve energy, and support better long-term results.
