One of the most common frustrations I hear from people who listen to the show people who I coach is that you are frustrated with a lack of progress , even though you've been working hard , you've been going to the gym , maybe you even have been tracking your food or trying to improve your diet , and it's one of the biggest frustrations I've seen .

I'm going to introduce something to you that's coming out soon that could very well change the way that you approach your fitness journey forever , not just physically , but also mentally , with the principles that we really talk about on this show . So I want you to join me today as I unveil this exciting announcement , and I'm not going to reveal it just yet . So you've got to listen to the episode , and it's really designed to help ambitious people like you , people who do take action to achieve the physique and the life that you actually deserve .

Welcome to the Whits and Weights podcast . I'm your host , phillip Pape , and this twice a week podcast is dedicated to helping you achieve physical self mastery by getting stronger , optimizing your nutrition and upgrading your body composition . We'll uncover science backed strategies for movement , metabolism , muscle and mindset with a skeptical eye on the fitness industry . So you can look and feel your absolute best . Let's dive right in Whits and Weights community . Welcome to another bonus episode of the Whits and Weights podcast on this Saturday . I'm your host , phillip Pape , and I'm very excited to share something special with you today that we've been cooking up for quite a while now , and I'm just going to tell you what it is . It's the launch of my new semi private group coaching experience that is called Whits and Weights Physique University . So , yes , this will be a little bit of a sales pitch , but , more importantly , I'm going to explain why I built this , who it's for , what you can get out of it and how to get notified when it comes out . It is launching next month , in April , which is just a few short weeks away , but I'm going to have a tiered launch where those who listen to the podcast , private clients , people who really are engaged with our community have an opportunity for an early notification and a lower price for a few of those sort of VIP slots that are coming out before the price goes up a little bit for the main launch and this is all months before it publicly launches because you're going to get in on the ground floor here at a really good value but also have the chance to see the program improve and grow rapidly in the first few months . That's not to say we're not going to have tons of amazing content and value for you right out the gate . So that's one of the things that I wanted to talk about today .

Philip Pape 2:53

Now , I've been in this industry for about four years . I've been a coach for over two years . I've mentored and taught and led people for well over a decade and I know firsthand from my own personal transformation of trying to get strong , trying to improve my physique , improve my diet , and do it in a way that didn't feel counter to my values and my lifestyle , my way of living . It didn't feel like I was just constantly taking away and restricting and telling myself no and still having nothing to show for it , and also being discouraged when I would look in the mirror . All of those feelings that many of us can relate to . I know how overwhelming that can be and how frustrating it can be , especially when you are a go-getter . You're ambitious , you have been successful elsewhere , like you may be really good at your business or great at relationships or something else , and you have all these skills , but somehow the fitness thing hasn't quite worked out , and I think part of that is there .

Philip Pape 3:52

Yes , there's so much conflicting misinformation out there . Right , there are so many generic workout plans , there are all the restrictive diets to get all the attention , there are all the quick fix and fad programs . There's things like Weight Watchers . There are plenty of podcasts and videos and books , and I really thank you for listening to this show and trusting me , because I know there's many voices out there and you don't know what to trust . You don't know what's based on science and what's not , whether this is good , this is bad . And through the podcast journey through Whits and Weights especially those who have been following a long time you've probably heard the evolution where we bring in experts , we uncover the science , we go back and reflect on things that have changed during that time . This is where I'm wrong , I'll admit that , and we continue to evolve together and learn , and so there's a big educational component to this . And then I take that and apply it to our Facebook community , which is a free community . I then apply it to when I have calls with people that are free and then finally bring all of that into my one-on-one coaching .

Philip Pape 4:57

Well , the thing with one-on-one coaching is I can only help so many people . I can only help about 15 to 20 people because for me I would feel like I'm letting people down if I didn't put all my heart and soul into helping the individuals , like Coach , get unstuck , figure out their problems , understand why their metabolism is acting this way , understand why the scale is fluctuating this way , understand how to meal plan and meal prep and choose their foods and go out to eat and go traveling all the things that they face every day . I want to be very hands-on and very personal with that . But that leaves out hundreds , if not thousands , of people like you listening to this show that may not have access to my coaching , either for selectivity reasons because I can only handle so many or for price , and I'll just admit it . For price A lot of coaches don't talk about cost openly and outwardly , but if you were to look at average rates in the industry , they range anywhere from $1,000 to $1,000,000 .

Philip Pape 5:55

You know maybe the mid to high hundreds a month . You know hundred a month to maybe three or 400 a month for kind of an average coach , to maybe where I am at , which is around maybe five or 600 for what I like to think as a more effective coach , and that's why I'm able to charge that . But the problem is not everyone can afford that and it also limits the amount of people that work with me . So Whits and Weights Physique University is my attempt to bring all of the value of one-on-one coaching to a what I call semi-private group experience , where you still get a lot of touch time with me , you still get a lot of one-on-one attention , but just in a way that allows me to spread my time out across more people . And the way I'm doing that is by offering things like courses . Okay , this is the first time Whits and Weights has ever offered courses .

Philip Pape 6:45

I'm gonna take the stuff that I talk about on the podcast and I've put it into very focused , targeted , curated courses Very short , punchy videos , right to the point , teaching you about nutrition , teaching you about training , about mindset , even right from day one you are going to get a custom nutrition plan , just like as if you were a one-on-one client . You're gonna fill out an assessment , an intake assessment and I'm gonna put together my or my team . We're gonna put together a custom plan , we're gonna give you a video that walks through the plan and then you're gonna start executing it with the support of a private community and other courses to level up your education . Now , strength training is obviously a big part of improving your physique and your body composition , and we talk about it all the time , and one of the things I've shied away from in the past was writing programs for clients , because I'm not a personal trainer , I'm a nutrition coach . But I know a lot about training . I know how to program , I know how to modify your training and also I give form checks all the time . You send me a video of your squat , I give you a video back breaking it down . Here's what we need to work on .

Philip Pape 7:55

So I thought , well , how can I bring that value to a larger audience in this semi-private experience ? And so what I'm going to start doing is offering monthly workout programs as part of Whitson-Wates Physique University . So I haven't narrowed down exactly on the different levels of workout programs , but they're probably going to be split by equipment access . So one type of program for traditional barbell training that I prefer and the other for everything else . Maybe it's dumbbells , body weight bands , those kinds of things . The other split is going to be are you more of a beginner or are you more of an intermediate ? And then the third variable could be the number of days per week . I'm not sure yet , because that can get complicated . People can train three , four , five , six days a week , so I might have a couple options like a three and a four , or a three , four , five . So all of this is actually still in development because we're launching soon , but I want to make it the best it can possibly be , so you're going to have that as well .

Philip Pape 8:55

The other thing is , because this is about physique development and you're going to have a nutrition plan , you want to be able to track your physique , and so there are a lot of bonuses you're going to get in this program . One of those that I recently put together is a body composition and biofeedback tracker . So this will not only allow you to track your circumference measurements and your biofeedback week to week , but I actually have some , a tool in there that will tell you your muscle to fat ratio . It'll tell you your lean body mass , your body fat trend all those things that people always ask about , like how do I do that ? Do I have to get on an in body ? Do I have to use some fancy device ? No , you can do it based on some simple measurements and I've done all the math for you in a Google sheet , so you'll have that .

Philip Pape 9:42

Another thing you're going to have in there I mentioned the courses . Okay , and these are very curated , custom design courses on specific topics that you can go right to get your answer to . But I'm also going to take the podcast , both video and audio , and I'm going to selectively pick out either full episodes or clips for specific topic areas . So as the problems and questions come up , I'm going to say , oh , you know what , this episode is perfect for that , but I'm going to make sure and put it in a course or in a module whatever language we use for the platform so that you can just go right to it , whereas you know , if you're just listening to the show , there's hundreds of episodes to choose from . It's kind of hard to find exactly what you want . This is going to curate that .

Philip Pape 10:27

Where does the one-on-one part come in and how is this possible in a group experience ? Okay , this is the beauty of it . There is going to be a private community with channels , kind of like Slack . Okay , different channels , channels for fat loss , for muscle building , for body recomp , for maintenance , for form checks , and there will also be a general announcements channel where you'll be able to check in . Every Friday I'm going to have a small questionnaire where you can check in just like as if you're a one-on-one client , and then you can tag me and I will get you some one-on-one support .

Philip Pape 11:00

Now , this isn't to the same level as the weekly feedback , the very detailed , involved feedback I get to my private one-on-one clients . But if you are a do-it-yourselfer , if you are pretty self-motivated and I'm giving you all the resources to be successful in this program you're going to be able to get plenty of support and will always have the option to add on some extra one-on-one support if needed . But this is how you're going to get that and to compliment that . So here we go . This is as close as one-on-one as you can get in a group program like this . I'm going to have weekly live calls that you can join , where there will be some training on a specific topic , like a very niche focused topic , some Q&A and coaching . So that'll be your chance to come in with your questions , as if I'm just giving you a coaching call . And the community experience is really nice because you get to learn from everyone else's experience and level up even more .

Philip Pape 12:39

All right , so that's a lot of what's in there , right ? And I don't like to go on and on about like features , because sometimes the more important thing is what those features get you . But I did wanna let you know that there is so much information in here that it will not be on the podcast that is not in the free community . That will be again I'm using this word curated . It's kind of a snobby word , maybe that brings it all together in one place . But let me back up a bit and tell you why I created this kind of at a deeper level , at an emotional level . All right , I wanted to create a shortcut . Honestly , by shortcut I don't mean quick fix . I mean I want you to be efficient . I hate wasting time . I'm an engineer by background and I'm all about systems and automation and getting you from A to B with as little hassle as possible .

Philip Pape 13:26

And so many of you have reached out and said you know , I'm stuck , I'm frustrated , I'm confused . Like I want this physique . I don't think I can get it , though , and I've thought that myself . I'm like , yeah , I don't think it's possible . It's my genetics , or it would be too much time in the gym or too much sacrifice with food . I'd have to eat chicken and broccoli and rice every day and I couldn't go out and enjoy myself . And even when I searched for the information , I'm bombarded with conflicting advice , with cookie cutter approaches .

Philip Pape 13:54

Sadly , I've had so many people reach out to me that ask me a question after their own coach advised them to do something . They questioned it . The coaches gaslighting them about it like no , no , no , you just need to listen to me . And they reach out and they say you know , philip , what do you think ? Does this make sense ? And I look at them . I just shake my head like wow , these people are coaches . Like , come on , you know , these 22 year olds that go to get a three month cert don't know anything about life , anything about people , and I'm sorry , a 22 year old could be a great coach . I'm not disparaging that , but as someone who's been through a few more decades and seen what I've seen and worked with , most of my clients are 30s , 40s and beyond , men and women . You know , I've got hormonal changes , you've got family , you've got obligations , you've got work stress the list goes on .

Philip Pape 14:40

There's a chasm between what the coaching industry seems to be providing and what actually works for people like you and me . The internet is full of hucksters . It's charlatans , people just trying to sell for a buck at all costs , and I'm all for entrepreneurship . I've talked about my business honestly and openly on the podcast and when I'm on other shows that I love the combination of passion and profit . Like . If you can find something that you can help people with and be passionate about like I am in this space and make money doing it because it's valuable to people , then that's a wonderful thing , that's a win-win . But there's people doing it at all costs well-meaning influencers , so-called experts , many of them with an MD or a doctor in their name and they say things that are sometimes just the opposite of the truth and they make you feel like you'll never find the right answer for you right , and so that is why I created Wits and Weights Physique University .

Philip Pape 15:38

It's for people like you who are skeptical of the fitness industry and you don't have a lot of time to devote to hours and hours of searching or reading or , hey , listening to podcasts . I mean , as much as I love that you love this podcast , you can't just listen to and binge hours and hours and hours and hope to get the exact path for you . So my team and I , when we looked at all of these challenges and my personal experience and experience work with clients , we said let's design , let's build an all in one place , right ? Yes , the Facebook community we have is amazing . Yes , the one-on-one coaching we have is amazing . But let's take everything together courses , a community and coaching coaching in the form of calls and tech support on the community and provide you with the clarity the rest of the industry doesn't seem to have the clarity , along with guidance , along with the support that you need to succeed . So if I were to sum it up into one sentence , I would say this that Wits and Weights Physique University , it's a semi-private experience designed to quickly give you the answers that you've been seeking , so that you can break through those plateaus , build muscle , lose fat and achieve the strongly and healthy body that you deserve , without wasting your precious time .

Philip Pape 17:00

Here's the thing nutrition and training are both important , but very different skill sets , right , and they're different skill sets than understanding the science of physique transformation and knowing how to apply it to your unique body and lifestyle . These are all different things that we have to meld together and most people who wanna build their dream physique . What they're struggling with is , a finding the right information , b finding the right support , and then C they get confused , overwhelmed and stuck in some sort of cycle , whether it's yo-yo dieting or plateaus or workout programs or whatever . And it's one of the most frustrating experiences in the world , especially when you're putting in the effort but not seeing the results that you want . This is disheartening . It makes you question whether you're even able to achieve the body you've wanted .

Philip Pape 17:51

Right , I've been there myself and most of the cookie cutter workout plans and the YouTube programs and the apps and the generic diets . They're just not effective . They're just too generic or they don't focus on principles , they're not rooted in science , they're not tailored to your individual needs and they're not designed to be sustainable . They're often based on short term dopamine hits and quick fixes . So what's in way to your physique university , right ? Wwpu ? Maybe the acronym will become well known one day .

Philip Pape 18:22

It's not only designed to shatter those myths . Shatter those misconceptions that are holding you back because you can get what you want you absolutely can but also give you a way to do it A proven , tested , verified system for success with your physique . Verified through my podcasting , interviewing excerpts , my personal transformation , my one-on-one coaching , our Facebook community , the challenges we've run all of that coming together into one place . So not only will you receive a done for you custom nutrition plan , not only will you receive workout programs every month that you can run and you can run them longer than a month , you can progress them forward and then switch to another one whenever you want or need to . And not only are you gonna receive those right , you're gonna receive all the support structure around that . You're gonna receive advice that's been battle tested , that's been shown to work for people like you in your individual , unique scenarios Whether that's you know you're 50 and going through perimenopause into menopause .

Philip Pape 19:22

Whether you're a 35 year old dude that's having trouble gaining because you're a hard gainer . Whether you've struggled with body image your whole life and you're afraid of gaining weight to gain muscle . Like all of these scenarios we're familiar with , right , cheap , generic solutions are fine if you just wanna go through the motions and do what you've done in the past and ask yourself whether that's worked for you in the past In Whitson Weights Physique University . We are gonna have things that are targeted , that don't waste time . They're science based strategies and they are tailored to you . And that's the one on one kind of private piece of it that you're not gonna get from a lot of group coaching programs that have just templates and macro prescriptions .

Philip Pape 20:05

It's gonna be tailored to your new , unique body , your goals . You're going to immediately see the impact it has on your ability to break through plateaus , and by immediately I mean within the first few weeks . You're going to see some sort of changes mentally and physically from knowing what your body does in response to your actions , because we're gonna have the data , we're gonna have the feedback , we're gonna have the discussion and support to help you figure that out . Then you can build muscle , lose fat , do the mechanical things you wanna do to finally achieve that physique of your dreams . And that's why you started this journey in the first place , right ? That's why you're listening to this podcast .

Philip Pape 20:41

I could just hand over a bunch of great nutrition plans and workout programs and send you on your way which is what a lot of people do , right and then you'd have some information to try to transform your body and transform your life , but I wanna do everything in my power to ensure you're successful as quickly and efficiently as possible so you don't waste time . So that's where the extensive courses come in the live coaching calls , the support of community and then some extra bonuses , like the physique and biofeedback tracker and others that are gonna come along the way . And the cool thing is , once you're in the program , there will be more value being created every month , not only the workout programs , but there will be new courses . There'll be new experiences . Every live coaching call is a new chance to learn and ask questions , and so it's gonna be , in my opinion . I wanna make it the most valuable resource out there for anyone looking to build their ultimate physique in the most efficient and sustainable way possible .

Philip Pape 21:37

All right , so you might be wondering how do I get access to this ? I'm gonna include a link in the show notes and the link will let you get on a list for early notification . I'm not gonna send you a sales page or anything like that . All of that will be available how to join , how to pay , all that good stuff . You're just going to get on a list so that the Friday before the public launch in a few weeks from now , you will get notified . You'll get a three day head start for 10 slots that are going to be available at $97 a month . Now , you're like $97 a month . Did I hear that right ? Like that sounds almost free for something like this . Yes , this is an incentive to get the people who are most dedicated and committed to getting started and trusting me that this is gonna be an amazing experience . You can cancel any time , there'll be a 21 day money back guarantee . There's really no risk and you'll be part of the ground floor . Then , on Monday , when the public launch occurs , the price after the first 10 slots are gone which maybe there'll still be some left by then will be $147 a month , which is still amazing . Still crazy because the final launch price in about three , four months , after we've fully validated the program and continue to upgrade it , will probably be in the 247 range , or probably exactly 247 , which is still , if you compare it to one-on-one coaching , an incredible value . So I hope you come along for the ride and you'll click the link in my show notes to join the early presale list and you'll get that .

Philip Pape 23:07

Now I'm gonna share some more things here , if you wanna stick with me for today's bonus episode , which is kind of longer than usual . But I wanted to add some more thoughts I had about Whits and Weights Physique University , in case you have questions . So one of the first questions you might have is okay , what does the nutrition plan look like ? All right , here's how it's gonna work . The day that you join , I'm gonna send you to a welcome onboarding course . This course is going to tell you exactly what to do . It's gonna give you step one , two , three Little bits of homework . You're gonna be able to track your progress and immediately reach out for support if needed .

Philip Pape 23:43

One of the first things you're gonna do is complete an intake assessment . It's very similar to the one I use with one-on-one clients . You know , maybe it's less , it's not as long , so it won't take that long maybe 10 , 15 minutes to take . And then you give us a few days because real human beings myself included in my team real expert coaches , are going to go through it and put together a personalized plan for you . That plan is going to have a nutritional periodization plan . It's gonna tell you which direction for fat loss , muscle building , how aggressive . It's going to suggest the meal timing you know , based on when you're working out and based on what your days look like . It has sections on hydration , on sleep , on stress , on supplementation pretty much everything you need where , once you've got that in your hands , if you just follow it , you're gonna get incredible results . And what's beautiful about this program is when you have that in hand within a few days . Now you'll have .

Philip Pape 24:39

What everyone else in the program has is they all have their own plans , but we can start speaking the same language and you can start asking questions and getting that support in the community and also in the live coaching calls . You can ask those questions . You can tag your coach , which initially is going to be me . I'm going to be the main coach for everyone initially . Okay , as we scale , we're going to bring on more coaches and you can tag me anytime for one-on-one support . So that's the nutrition plan .

Philip Pape 25:07

The next question you might have is okay , what are the courses going to look like ? This is going to look a lot like if you've ever taken a course in Kajabi or Thinkific or Circle or School or any of those platforms . It's just like that , where they're self-paced , they track your progress , and we're going to have different courses , each which have multiple modules with video , and a lot of them are just me talking on video and talking you through the education and many of them will have text , as well as some homework or checklists or downloads , freebies , goodies , bonuses . It'll be very easy and targeted to find what you're looking for , and we are going to dive deep into the science but , more importantly , the practice of physique development . So you have the knowledge and you have the skills to take control of your transformation , because I want to empower you . I don't want you to be dependent on me . Obviously , I hope that you will stick around in the community for months , if not years , because you're constantly going to learn and grow , but not because you need me , like you're dependent on us . We don't want that . I want you to be completely empowered . I want you to learn the strategies that we use for nutrition , training , mindset , optimizing your lifestyle , and I'm going to present them in a very engaging , easy to understand way so that you'll become an expert in your own right and you'll be equipped with the tools and the understanding to succeed .

Philip Pape 26:26

And then , what about the community ? I talked about the private community . It's going to be more . I'll call it minimalist and targeted than something like Facebook . Facebook has a lot of bells and whistles and distractions . This community is very focused . It's kind of like school if you've ever heard of that . It has some gamification built in . So , whether you care about that or not , it encourages you to engage and you get points and you level up . So it's a very fun way to engage with your teammates and people in this Whits and Weights Physique University . You're going to be students , you're going to have teammates yeah , you're clients of mine , but really you are learners right and through goal specific channels in the community , you can jump into the area that you care about the most right now . If you're in a muscle building phase , you hop into that channel and that's where all the discussions occur . If you're in a fat loss phase , you hop into that . If you need a form check , you hop into that , and if you want to look at the latest announcements or do your weekly check-in , you go into the announcements channel . So my hope is that this is a place where you can forge friendships , you can forge networking and celebrate your progress and wins together in the community . So I want you to picture this .

Philip Pape 27:35

All right , this might sound like you . You've been grinding away at the gym for months , maybe years , right ? Despite all your hard work , you're not getting the progress you want the the muscle is not popping , maybe you're carrying the extra fat . You're stuck in some way in some frustrating cycle of restrictive diets , weight loss of strength gain , plateaus , many . Maybe it's mental , maybe it's self-doubt , and you're seeing people around you make these transformations and you're wondering what am I doing wrong ? Right , you've tried every fat diet , you've tried keto and carnivore , you've tried all the workout programs . Nothing seems to stick and you're questioning yourself . You're really like asking yourself am I cut out for this whole fitness thing ? Is it my age ? Is it my hormones ? Is it my genetics ? And , deep down , you know that you are meant for more .

Philip Pape 28:18

I like to talk to my friends and say we push each other to greatness . That's what everybody in their heart and soul knows . There's some level of greatness available to them and they have this vision . You have this vision of the strong , lean , confident person you want to be . You just don't know how to get there . And so , if that is the thing that you're tired of feeling stuck , feeling overwhelmed and feeling alone on this journey and you know that something needs to change because whatever you tried in the past , even if it worked for a short time , it hasn't been sustainable . But you're not sure what really has to change and you're looking for this breakthrough moment . It doesn't have to be that way .

Philip Pape 28:56

I want to paint a different picture for you . I want you to imagine waking up every day feeling energized . You jump out of bed , you're confident , you have this erect posture . You're excited to take on the world . You know you're making progress toward your best physique ever , right , day by day . You're not there in one day , but you're making progress .

Philip Pape 29:14

Imagine now you have this clear , proven plan to follow . Imagine you have expert guidance . You have support along the way and you never feel lost because you could always ask a question or go watch a module or tag your coach . You're never confused about what to do next . And imagine being part of a thriving community of people just like that like-minded teammates , curious people who are also working towards similar goals . They're cheering you on and they're holding you accountable to become the best version of yourself . Right ? This can be your reality and that is why I created Whits and Weights Physique University .

Philip Pape 29:48

Expert coaching , a supportive community , a proven system for results , giving you everything you need in one place to get your dream physique , but not only that become the best version of yourself . Because I firmly believe the physique is just this outward reflection of all the hard work and all the personal development in your mind and body that have come together to become the best of who you can be . No more guesswork , no more frustration , no more going it alone guidance , accountability , support to succeed . That is why I created this . It really is , it's what I want and I think it's what you want . Here's the cool thing it's designed to be itself a very efficient process that fits seamlessly into your busy lifestyle so that you can make progress without feeling like you're sacrificing all this time , sacrificing your priorities . It's very laser focused .

Philip Pape 30:39

My question for you is can you afford not to do this Right ? Can you afford not to do this ? What's in way to physique university is I'm trying to make this the only program that gets you a one-on-one experience in a semi-private setting , with the done-for-you nutrition plan , the extensive courses we're creating on evidence-based nutrition training , mind and mindset , the monthly physique focus workout programs , live weekly coaching calls and the private community that rewards you for showing up and checking in . If you want to break through your plateaus , if you want to build that dream physique , if you want to become more confident and empowered the person you know you are and always meant to be then I want you to click the link in my show notes to get on the early presale list so that you can enroll in WWPU before it comes out to the general public . The first 10 slots will be available , like I said earlier , for 97 a month , then the remaining slots for 147 , which is still , either way you look at it , a great value , but I want to reward action takers , all right .

Last thing , I want to address some frequently asked questions that I've heard already about this program , just in case you have any more doubts . The first big question is okay , what if I join and I just don't get the results as quickly as I'd like ? Very common question , in fact . Usually when I sign a one-on-one client within the first week , there's a lot of voice messages and text messages . I get of self-doubt and worry and like , oh no , what's going to happen ? That's the opportunity to have the discussions about why this is different .

Philip Pape 32:14

This is not a quick fix , but it also doesn't mean you're not going to get results pretty quickly , if that makes sense . It's not a quick fix , but you can definitely start seeing change quickly . Now the speed of that change is going to depend on the number one thing of all your consistency in following the program . That includes the mechanics , the day-by-day stuff , like doing your workouts , logging your food , your physique measurements and implementing what you learn in the courses . But in Whitson-Wates Physique University , we're giving you all the tools you need to succeed . We're giving you that tool and making it as easy as possible , but it's still up to you to put in the work . Staying committed and trusting the process and then celebrating wins along the way is a great approach . However , if it's not a great fit for you if you're like a weekend , two weeks in , it's not a great fit . We've got a full money-back guarantee within the first 14 days 14 or 21 days , sorry . First 21 days . I want to give you a nice little bit of time to get through some of the courses and engage with the community and make sure it's a great fit for you , so pretty much risk-free in that sense .

Another question I get is how does the monthly subscription work ? It's just a normal monthly subscription that you're used to . If you sign up on the fifth of the month , all the other payments are going to be processed on the fifth . The day that you join . You get access to everything . So , honestly , you could , if you want , come in . You could download a whole bunch of bonuses and guides and resources and then just cancel . I don't want you to do that and I hope you have more integrity than doing that and that you're here for doing the work and actually getting the results . But you can , and I'm being open with that . The cancellation policy I mentioned before . It's going to be easy . I don't want to pull your leg . I don't want to be like the big gym box , the box gyms that make you jump through hoops and bring in your birth certificate to Brazil to go cancel your subscription . You're just going to send an email and say I want to cancel and then we're going to cancel Easy and then if you want to come back in the future I haven't burned any bridges with you . Maybe it's not right for you at this time and it will be in the future .

The next question is that I get from folks is okay , this is for physique , right , but what about all the other aspects of health and wellness . Well , although our primary focus is on helping you get that dream physique through training and nutrition , the habits , the knowledge , the mindset that you develop through that program will have a profound impact on your overall health and well-being , to a greater extent than you ever thought possible . Because by optimizing nutrition , your training , your lifestyle , you're going to look better but also feel more energized , confident and resilient in every area of your life . I've seen it time and again . This is why I love building muscle . This is why I love physique enhancement , because it is so synergistic with all the rest of your health and wellness .

Another question I get is do I need access to a gym or any special equipment for the workout programs ? Here's where I understand that everyone has different access , and that's why I'm going to put together programs that are designed for a range of settings and equipment . Whether you have a fully equipped gym that you can go to or just a home gym with some basic equipment , I'm going to make it work for different levels . Then the last question people have is well , this isn't full one-on-one coaching , right ? You talk about one-on-one , semi-private , like where is the cutoff If I really need more coaching or more support or more guidance . Where do I get that ?

Philip Pape 35:40

I want you to know that what's already included is massively more than most group coaching programs . The weekly live coaching calls , the supporting in the private community , the ability to tag me directly and get personalized guidance , is pretty darn close to one-on-one coaching . If you find that you need even more private support , if you've got a special use case or you just want that kind of attention that some people need , I'm definitely going to offer you that ability . It's going to be an add-on to the membership . You'll already have to be in Whitson-Wates-Fazik University , but then it'll be just an add-on and the total price will be comparable to one-on-one coaching . I'm not going to make it much more or much less . It's going to be still in the ballpark , all right .
