- I paid $500 on Fiverr to see what a custom diet and workout plan looks like at that price point! I was shocked with what was given to me.....

I PAID $500 TO EXPOSE AN ONLINE FITNESS SCAM
Imagine someone who doesnt understand fitness spent a third of their monthly salary on this, its genuinly sad how difficult some "coaches" make it
Crazy thing it used to be even worse. Atleast you can research things way more easily now
Newbies always fall into the trap of "oh that guy is jacked, that must mean he'd be great at teaching me how to get jacked"
I doubt anyone buying this is particularly poor, but yeah xD
If you spend a third of your salary on a meal plan you have a different problem
This channel was recommended to me and I couldn’t be happier. The humor is what I needed. I started working out today.
Paid around 170 dollars/month to my last trainer.
At first I had an interview on the phone and then I got to fill in a quite big questionare about training history, diseases, sleep, food preferences/allergies, my work, injuries, how many hours I could put in at the gym per week, my budget for food etc.
Weekly check-ins were we adjusted cardio/programming/calories if we needed to, but I also could reach him 24/7 if I had any questions/needed to talk.
At the check ins I also answered some questions about my current weight, measurements, sleep for the week, my steps per day, if I followed the plan accordingly, my mood etc.
Got a new meal and workout plan every four weeks, with different calories if needed to reach my goal.
Every meal plan had 5 options per meal, so I had 5 options for breakfast, 5 for snacks, lunch, snack number 2 and dinner.
He also gave me coupons to buy some proteinpowder etc cheaper (their own brand of course - but still).
I was very happy with the entire plan, even though I have the knowledge I needed some accountability at the time I had this PT, I was in a rough spot.
It was also quite nice to try some workout splits I probably never would considered trying beforehand. AND it was really chill to not have to think about what I was supposed to eat and that there was multiple options to everything, everything on the menu felt fresh and tasted delicious, he really took my preferences in mind when he created them.
Very happy with everything, I had him for 8 months. He was very kind and paused my program when I had to go into surgery as well, and then helped me to get back on track after wards when I was able to walk again :)
Who was your trainer?? For this kind of attention I have to pay over £400/month
@@loveearth89 I’m from Sweden so it was with a guy named Hampus Botvid and his team. I’m not entirely sure but he might take on non-swedes as well :)
I had something similar but he changed my macros/meals and workouts more frequently. I sent him my stats daily (how I trained). Then weight and pics weekly. He was more expensive though.
That is awesome!
Also, im glad that your surgery went ok and u can work out again
Thank you bro! @@alvarocopier9522
wtf is the extra 1600 for "lifestyle"?? does he let you life in his house?
no you can rent his bicycle

As a Brit, to see someone eat an English muffin so incorrectly brought so much pain to me.
u mean as a enlgish man
no
@@steffanmunn6140 u completely missed the entire context of this video then lol. Will aint the youtuber for you
@@liamneslind4182 you ok? I commented on his approach to English muffins. Nothing else. That does not mean he is not the youtuber for me, if anything his videos have led to me thinking more about how I eat, thus he is the youtuber for me
@@steffanmunn6140 how does one eat a muffin?
I am personal trainer and was one in one of these mentorship groups for trainers doing online training. The guy leading the group said that ALL coaching programs should be at least $1,000… some people were charging 2,000 for three month programs. All they’d get is workouts, nutritional guides (not even meal plans necessarily), and not even a monthly phone call, they’d get unlimited text support. I had to bail on that, I felt way too slimy selling people that. I stick to in person now, way better for the client.
I am the leader of that program…
It's often fine to not give exact plans (if you follow something like PN's advice to trainers it's about meeting them where they are at and education so they don't need you forever...and there are technically legal implications to meal plans in some locations if you aren't an RD) But only giving text support sounds like they weren't taking an intuitive eating approach or educating at all, just screwing people. I've been doing this for 15 years including online training and I'd never be ok with taking the volume approach some people do. A premium price should come with a premium level of service including proper check ins, office hours, form review, plan updates etc. Not everyone needs in person training but if you are going to charge 300+ per month there needs to be value there. My in person rate is $80 per hour, that means to be fair at $300 per month I'd have to spend 3.75 hours per client...that's not hard to do but it's not going to happen if you are a fly by night instagram trainer. 2 grand can make sense as part of show prep but for a beginner that would be insanity.
@@nutritionperfection agreed. I charge 80/hour in person, $300 online but I do weekly check in calls, workouts, and nutrition
Sounds like gym launch
@@skrtskrrrttt8940 Hahahaha
Workouts like that are for guys on gear. They manage the volume better and even just breaking the muscle down with lighter weights they will grow.
I love how Will blew up and the first thing he did was roast this dude when he absolutely had it coming. Way to use your powers for good, Will.
In 2014 I bought a plan from Sarah Bakian (now Bowmar, as in Bowmar fitness) and I am forever scarred by the fact that it included canned corn as part of the meal plan. Half of the food options were Amway products, which she pushed way too hard. I doubt I paid more than $150 for it. Followed the training, ditched the diet portion
Will is the only gym bro I trust and watch.
Coach Greg post them free to his Newsletter subscribers🤷🏼♂️
Jeff Nippard is good
💯 him and Dom, Mazzetti, take their shit to the bank
i thought will was a tik toker
@@hehe-wl8dj. He’s a credible natural fitness influencer and coach.
I started watching you a few months ago when I started to get back in shape and you’ve kept my motivation high. Watching your videos, making excercise fun, the recipes, all of it.. Truly an inspiration. Keep up the good work and you have a new sub for life!
Will this is why we love you, you waste money on shit programs so we don’t have to and you help us with your experience and expertise so thank you.
P.S you always know how to make us laugh 😂
Hey WIll. Thanks so much for your quality content but most of all, your quality sense of humor. We appreciate you around here!
Thank you 😊

Exactly 😂😂
But there's probably more to that story
@@Davidwilliams-lk7hb it freudian slippening
I bought a meal plan from an online "dietician" and after they took so long I thought I got scammed, they gave me a plan of 2700 calories ( I am a woman trying to lose weight) and they ignored my requests to avoid certain foods I can't eat. It was $200.
I did end up getting my money back from a charge back though, so buyer beware
why would you even buy a program when so much information is available for free on youtube ?
To me that doesn't sound like an actual registered dietician.
@@mvo9975 for some people it’s difficult to find with all the fake information convoluting it
was it v shred by any chance? or sculp nation(same thing just a rebrand cause ppl finding out about them)
Oh my god 2700 calories to lose weight, did they think you were 400lbs? That’s so wildly wrong, glad you got your money back
I love how Will adds " I wanna grow my biceps and calves" and then immediately erasing calves 🤣🤣🤣
hahaha
9:55 special thanks to Kofi for reading my mind
Was looking for the comment🤣

Coaches like this give these insane programs so you stop after 1-2 weeks and blame yourself vs the program and don't ask for a refund. It's predatory.
i’m waiting for an anabolic cookbook from Will, the food he makes is beautiful and flavorful 👏🏼
I believe some of his recipes are in Coach Greg’s book.
he didnt even assessed you physically in order to design a proper training program! wtf
I would only trust Will to be my trainer 😤
@Rapunzel ♪ 😂
Will for W
I really like how much Kofi is involved in this video, love the dynamic between you two!
And I've bought all of Jeff Nippard's programs. I absolutely love them. I am great at structuring my diet, but I always sucked at programming workouts (I'd just get lazy and start programming the same stuff). Jeff Nippard's programs really broadened my horizons when it comes to programming workouts and were worth every penny IMO.
I program my own stuff but pretty basic exercises with time under tension slow controlled progressive overload with notes kept. I do chest/shoulders/, back, arms, legs, day off. I’d love to have some sort of rotating weeks where I at least swap out exercises or something or even the split but still able to progressive overload the basics. Is that what you mean by Jeff’s program? I changed my split twice this year. First it was push pull legs then chest/tris, shoulders, back/biceps, legs, day off and now I’m on the first one as I needed a full back and a full arms day. I really have been thinking about it a lot and don’t take these changes lightly or without a lot of consideration
I'm also running my 4th program with him. Nothing weird, just simple things arranged in an organized way. His programs definetely pushed my 1RM in the main lifts far beyond what I expected. Before it, I had never had an organized periodization, and I think this is the biggest differential for me...
Creating a personal workout plan/eating plan should always require a 1 on 1 interview, atleast 60 minutes. Goddamn. some people are really out there being downright bad
Those comments on the screen about the hack squat set were hilarious😆. Great video Will and great editing again Josh!
Hey Will thanks for inspiring me. I have lost over 7kgs and added more muscle. I jst followed decent diet and good exercise plan. Thanks alot Will for ur entertaining videos.
Ultimately, the reason I never sold "programs" as a trainer was the same thinking as your last point. The knowledge is the easy part to find. Charging someone for that would have been disingenuous at BEST. The parts I felt comfortable charging for were customization, personalization motivation... things it's very hard to do on an Excel sheet.
Last time I got an online program it said it was no bs and really effective. It also had me doing 4 full body workouts a week... Yet only hit upper body. The meal plans were very repetitive no flavor and too low calorie to gain muscle. I was sad but learned a lesson at the same time
I paid £100 for a three month program and basically just ended up with orthorexia. And then I broke my back, before I completed the last month and was told to eat 1000 cals a day until I can exercise again. Was supposed to be eating 160g of protein, but only 60g carbs, but I said I was vegetarian so my protein sources obviously weren’t going to be lean, and the suggestion was to use protein powder, so I essentially lived off protein shakes and consumed no fat.
Now I pay £100 a month for an online coach, who specialises in eating disorders, and anything that I don’t enjoy gets swapped out, the meals are tailored to my preferences and I get new meals every week. Very much worth my money!
Wish I had seen more videos like this before buying a workout programme online !
I don’t think I’d even pay a pro bodybuilder to make my meal plan and routine. Nobody else knows what works best for you other than yourself. There is a lot of trial and error and nobody can just slap a program in front of you that’s perfect for you on the first go. You need lots of back and forth and proper communication to tailor the program for your specific needs. Don’t fall for the BS out there, and thanks to you Will for always keeping it 💯
Spot on 👍
Exactly. It’s one thing to touch base with someone here and there but you can do it alone. I’ve lost over 90 pounds in a year and am quite defined at 48. Tweaking mechanics is the biggest thing besides nutrition. We can be off just a little and it can hinder results or worse cause pain. Example- rolled shoulders in Bench keeping chest from developing.
I think trainers have a place, but only if they work *with* you, one on one and with a very specific goal. So not a newbie starting out (other than maybe a quick introduction to the gym session to learn how to use equipment and a quick form check) but those who're prepping for a show. Or post-surgery recovery with a desire to get back to training asap, in which case I'd recommend a physical therapist with a personal training course since the latter are so easy to get.
It's fine-tuning, a second perspective and little bit of aid during exercises / meal planning.
Based on experience I completely agree❤️
I discovered your channel like 1 week ago and since then i've already seen like 30 vids. You always make me laugh and i think you're just awesome. All your tips are so valuable and all your vids is better than most channels. I just love that i found you! Keep doing what u do please... it's incredible how u can change my bad days into better ones
My girlfriend gifted me a program with an online trainer. I now know, it was a crash diet and I've not got a bad knee as well. One of the leg days called for 100 walking lunges.
100 walking lunges = death
100 walking lunges can be absolutely fine if you choose the weight wisely and don't have shit gpp
@@TheJipino no matter the weight you chose (you can do it even without weight ) its still brutal
@@Legend-om5tj It was brutal for me, this was his idea of a warm up (no weights). and later on in the program was a superset with heavy squats. It was no good for me and my knees.
@@TheJipino What's gpp? I can tell you, 100 lunges can be good for some folk. I'm not one of them.
I bought an atheanx program years ago that I still have access too. Only cost me like 50 bucks and it comes with ALOT of exercise variety, and ALOT of meal stuff and substitutions. And has been updated over the years.
Was waiting for that close up. Thanks, Kofi 😜
Thanks for keeping your fitness advice free from Day 1, Will Terry
Good thing will has money, because if she see's this hes getting kicked from that gym.
"Usually I tell people stay relentless but u should probably just give up" got me wheezing tf man agagahahahah
When Will said “me drinking my carbs is like the Rock turning down a movie role” I hollered! 😭😂
Appreciate everything you do, Will. The GOAT
My first workout plan was in a cheap gym that completely destroyed me. It was a full body plan that almost made me puke after 4 or 5 exercises, and i've been doing pretty fine before in terms of average fitness. It's sad how hard beginners are getting exploited for quick cash and then just thrown away.
Love these ! Being honest, it happened to me to buy shitty programs, and for the life of me I was not even able to try them when, just by reading, I already had suicidal thoughts. So looking at you actually trying the worst ones while trying your best to accomodate them and make them work is actually fascinating... Even if I feel sorry all along
I've bought a few programmes over the last two years. Generic calisthenics, free weights and home workouts. Has it been worth it? Kinda - in so far as it's avoided paralysis by analysis on many occasions, and enabled me to just get on and do something. Moreover, it's taught me a little about the pros and cons of online programmes.
In the end, however, there's just no substitute for a customised plan. There are too many variables in life which can snooker good intentions. Like personal preferences, injuries, genetic tendencies, budget, goals, form and mind-muscle connection, motivation, and probably a myriad of others.
Doing my own programmes now. I really wish I had bumped into someone sharing ALL the considerations, and who could have convinced me of their relevance, years ago. But hey, I've learnt something!
Loved the fun video. Cheers!
Just for comparison: in Poland I pay 45USD a month for: workout program designed entirely for me (with all my remarks being taken into consideration) and macronutrients plan. Every week my technique is analysed (I record myself at the gym). Now it's 3 months since I've started and I'm super happy with the results. (I'm not begginer, I do workout for like a few years).
If I could recommend a meal planner for beginners, that would be Next Level Diet. If only I'd used it earlier, I would have saved so much time and money.
Ok bot
@@patrickbateman3944 try it and you will change your mind
I remember just a couple of months ago this would've seemed to me as a decent diet/plan. Greg Doucette really opened my eyes.
He opened our eyes to a lot of things in the fitness world!
Same. I have learned so much from Greg since I started my diet at the beginning of the year.
get his cookbook man
Bro I don’t workout. I’m sitting here having a beer at 4 pm while watching and it’s because you’re hilarious. Good content bud. Seems like you’ve got really info too, but idfk
An advocate of the German Volume Training i see.
@@bodycounter9386 yeah, been training 12 oz curls
I started with the classic meat, rice, and steamed vegetables. Talk about miserable. Variety is key to maintaining a good nutrition plan. Its also been fun learning how to cook new foods.
I really don't like programs. Its east enough to setup your own workout routine or doing a search online to find one. Like you said, these people just find workout routines and post them as their own, total scams. Love your content man, keep it up.
Giving people what they want 💀 Broo , love the content! You always inspire me to give my all at the gym 👊🏻
Oh, that looked rough. :( Good job grinding through it! And thanks so much for your recipes and sensible advice. I agree, in the information age, it just takes a little research to find/make the right plan.
"- Coach I have a bad knee.
- Oh yeah ? Start the workout with the F'N LEG EXTENSION."
When I bought a v-shred program 4 or 5 years ago I was told the meal plans would be flexible. In the ended up only using the workout, as flexible only meant a choice between chicken and Turkey
I bought it and i was done with it within two days. So boring.
"like fucking no dude... disappointed emoji" sounds about right lmao
I bought a meal plan from Vitruvian Physique when I very first started lifting for $60. I was honestly pretty happy with it because the foods were good - but at the same time it's way better to be able to change up your diet and not eat the exact same thing every day. I followed his meal plan for the first year of lifting and then figured out how to count calories and get my macros myself.
11:39 the best one is Derek’s “disappointed emoji”.
Nailed it.
love the video will, thank you for helping me get back into fitness. over the last 2 and a half months ive lost 30 pounds and gained a lot of muscle all after getting into your videos.
Highly recommend Doug Brignole’s book, “Physics of Resistance Training”
I bought Athlean AX when I first started working out seriously the summer of covid. Right before I started watching you, in fact I was in the middle of the program when I stumbled onto your channel. The program certainly wasn't bad, it gave good variety of exercises but it was definitely athlete focused, not weightlifting. But the program in combo with a somewhat healthy diet gave me abs for the first time ever and I felt good. Not everything was perfect and certain exercises seemed ridiculous, but it did give me a foundation which I then used to help me doing better workouts from you
Imagine giving up on a lift mid-set, like fucking no dude... disappointed emoji times fucking infinity
pay 500 dollars to tell you to eat chicken and broccoli goddamn he has some balls charging that
Haha the more plates comment was so spot on
Never got a plan that truly worked out how I wanted or really customized my needs. That said, I'd pay Will just because the education is worth it.
So this guy who sold me this program said that broccolli is for biceps, chicken is for legs and rice is for abs. You just have to vary the ratio according to how you want your body to look. He also told me that it's okay to pay someone to do the sets and reps for you, as long as you send him 20% of the amount you pay. Sounds legit to me! 😀
My coach I see weekly and have daily communication if I need it. He is always saying his main job is to get me to a point I don't need him, but right now I need the accountability. I could never stick to one of these paper based programmes with no personal input
4:54 "your not supposed to feed me you might lose subscribers"🤣😂🤣
"1 gram of tren." 😄 Gotta love the anabolic humor. To answer your question, I've never felt the need to purchase a program. I've thought about it but with videos like yours, there's just so much good institutional knowledge out there to learn from and to apply; I just haven't needed to as I have felt more confident than not in my nutritional and strength training applications in daily life. Thanks for this Will!
Man will is so fkng witty. 'When I downloaded grindr just to see what it's all about' and 'what's my favorite position' without cracking too man you are too funny sir
Absolutely love the videos Will, been following since the Halo Top video, such a classic. I would love to meet you one day, everyone says that you are bigger in person, and I’m not used to hearing things are bigger in person.
Kofi "givin' the people what they want." Zooming in on Will's ass 🤣
I dont know what the filming dynamic is between you guys, but that camera man Ollie is another hell of a character, you guys really make it work.
Hey man just started watching you, and you make me wanna get back into the gym. I started a few years ago when I was fat as hell was 400 pounds at 21. Was disgusted one day when I saw myself in the mirror N was like "ima change fuck it" And did it. I dropped to around 185 within easily half a year, Currently 175 but I've been doing jack shit past month cuz of my surgery. I was working out 1-3 hrs when I got home from work, and was working throwing trailers for Harbor Freight Tools. Roughly 12-14+ hour days 5 days a week. I'm still slim and probably the most fit I've ever been in my life (current job is amazing at keeping your weight in check working next to 500+ degree ovens makes the warehouse a Sonae essentially, plus all the heavy lifting) once my hand heals I'm defo going back into the gym, thanks for all you do man inspired me to try and go further than I have before.
That condiments next to the bed, Nice. Its the little things like that make me smile. Good job Will
The gun coming to your head was hilarious!
600 for weekly coaching and it was trash. Coaches “checked in” after sending them the weekly macros and just reduced carbs if weight didnt move.
I like you are genuinely trying the program or plans in each videos. It gives us honest feedback. Thanks!
Could someone explain to me why I eat like crap and never work out, yet must watch every one of this guy’s videos? Lol❤
The quick deletion of “and calves” killed me, well done Will
Oh, my dear 'Will Terry', how we love how you bust your balls to endure all these practices so that we don't have to!
The expression bust your balls sounded hot coming from a girl lmao
your sense of humour is epic
Love your willingness to take one for the team, keep it pure Will!
Great content!
The banter between Will and Kofi is always top tier 😂
My step brother is an amateur bodybuilder. I reached out to him about some advanced advice on a lift, and I was met with a VERY corporate sales pitch to go over my goals and see how he could transform my physique. Long story short, for a 6 month program like this he said he could "Give me a deal" at $1800. lmao
I would throw up trying to eat 4 english muffins in a sitting, let alone doing that more then once in a day and then eating all that protein on top of it. What a disgusting and bland meal plan.
With all the program exposés that Will does, I'm surprised he doesn't get sued by the people that make them.
Can’t sue him for defamation. Everything he is saying is true.
They can’t sue him because he’s not lying + it’ll ruin their public image and they’ll lose the case anyways so it’s an L L situation if they sue
11:41 😭😭 Derek’s comment “disappointed emoji”
I have only ever paid $40 each for two lifting split programs that I can rotate between, and I am actually quite satisfied with it! Lots of detailed information, links to a demonstration for every single exercise, clear comments regarding caveats for the workouts, etc.
You gotta call out those fake trainers. I dealt with one and demanded my money back.
We going to ignore that zoom in on the treadmill once Will was out of frame...? 🤣
💀
That’s training plan would straight up injure anyone who followed it.
Will, I just need to let you know that I lost 40 pounds of fat, and let me tell you that it was all because of your guidance... Thank you
The hub search at the end bamboozled me 🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
Name a better duo than Will and Kofi
The plan should have been called: "Personalized kidney failure program" with the amount of protein you had, imagine somebody following this for a longer period of time could actually be dangerous…
A tried an online program as I wanted to push myself and it cost me £150 I explained to the "person" I was overweight and was doing this to lose it etc, the workouts they said I should do omfg, I showed it to a mate who was a pt and he laughed and said there's no way in hell you can do that.
The stuff they wanted me to do would have been tough for someone in shape let alone for someone that's overweight.
My favorite programs I bought were all from fantastic fitness TH-camrs such as Chloe Ting, Greg Doucette, Natacha Oceané, Michelle McDaniels, Blogilates, and Will Tennyson for $0.
And I was definitely happy with my results from learning how to adapt my diet, fitness, and lifestyle in a healthy manner. Now I’m on a journey to living as my ever growing and ever changing “best self”.
I once bought this plan on fiver from someone. They expected me to run 2,5 hours every day, walk 10.000 staps on top of that, and do heavy weight lifting. I wanted to start working out again, I wasn't even able to run 1 minute. Of course his responses were very slow and after the review deadline he disappeared.
2+ hours running? Lol
if you took screenshots or some sorth of proof fiver would have revoked your payment and gave you back your money
I wish I found you BEFORE I bought into VShred back in 2020. Great content as always, Will!

You deserve that i click on 'subscribe button' after you ate all that s*** and the insane workout. Your resiliance was an inspiration.
the thought of coach greg saying jit will forever be engraved into my brain, thanks mr terry
Hi Will. I’m really enjoying your channel. I just discovered you when I just bought a walking pad and saw your videos on walking 10,000 steps, etc. and then I enjoyed your other videos especially the videos where you go out and like the healthiest city, happiest city etc. this video at the end was lol. I also enjoy the humor in your videos. Thank you.
