Health Coaching FAQs
Health Coaching FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a health coach?
Are you a Personal Trainer?
A health coach serves their client by helping them implement various healthy lifestyle changes, while a personal trainer would focus solely on fitness methods. A health coach can suggest an exercise plan for a client, or may refer a client to a personal trainer if specific classes or sessions would be of benefit to the client.
Are you a Nutritionist?
No, Health Coaches tackle wellness as a whole, looking at lifestyle factors as well as diet. They set specific goals for their clients and mentor them to achieve these goals. Health coaches can suggest dietary changes, but are not qualified to recommend supplements or set specific meal plans. Nutritionists have in-depth nutrition knowledge and are able to provide their clients with specialised dietary advice, suggest supplements, and interpret test results.
