Every question, answered.
Coaching
- How does online coaching work?
- You start with a detailed questionnaire and a 1-on-1 onboarding call with Dante. Your custom meal plan and training program are then built from scratch and delivered to you. Every week you submit progress data and photos and meet one-on-one to review them, and your plan is adjusted based on how your body is responding.
- How often do we check in?
- Every week. You submit your weight, photos, and training notes, then meet one-on-one with Dante to review them. On top of that, you have 24/7 direct text access for questions between check-ins.
- What makes natural coaching different?
- Natural lifters recover differently and build muscle more slowly than enhanced athletes, so copying their programs often backfires. Dante is an OCB Pro, and every plan is built around what works for a natural body: quality training volume, smart recovery, and a long-term approach.
- How fast will I see results?
- It depends on your starting point, your consistency, and how your body responds, so no specific results can be guaranteed. Clients typically notice strength and energy improving within the first few weeks, with visible changes building over the following months.
- Do you coach people for bodybuilding competitions?
- No. Dante Johnson is built for everyday people who want to build muscle, lose fat, and completely transform their physique. I bring the same precision I used to earn my OCB Pro card, without the stage.
- Is there an app?
- Yes. Every client gets access to the Dante Johnson Coaching App. It is where you see your training program and meal plan, log workouts, track progress photos and metrics, build habits, and message me directly. It works in your phone's browser and can be added to your home screen so it opens like an app.
- Do I have to be 18 to join?
- Yes. Dante Johnson coaching is for adults 18 and older only. Your date of birth is confirmed at checkout, and anyone under 18 cannot enroll.
Nutrition
- Will I get a custom meal plan or a template?
- A custom meal plan, every time. Your calories, macros, meals, and timing are written specifically for your body, goal, schedule, and food preferences. Nothing is copied from another client, and the plan is adjusted as your progress changes.
- I'm skinny and can't gain weight. Can you help?
- Absolutely. Dante was 99 pounds his junior year of high school and built up to 170 pounds lean naturally. Your plan focuses on eating enough consistently, with practical strategies for small appetites, paired with training designed to turn that food into muscle.
Training
- Do I need a gym membership?
- No. Your program is built around the equipment you have access to, whether that is a full commercial gym, a small apartment gym, or a home setup with dumbbells. A well-equipped gym gives more exercise options, but it is not required to make progress.
- Can you help me lose weight and build muscle at the same time?
- Often, yes. Beginners, people returning after time off, and those with more body fat can typically build muscle while losing fat, a process called body recomposition. For more experienced lifters, we usually plan focused phases instead, and we decide the right approach together on your onboarding call.
- I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?
- Yes. Beginners often get the most out of coaching, because you learn proper technique and good habits from day one instead of years of trial and error. Your program starts at your level and progresses as you get stronger.
Pricing & Payments
- Can I pay monthly or in full?
- Both. Every tier is available on a monthly plan for your chosen program length, or you can pay in full upfront and save. The savings for paying in full are shown on each tier in the pricing section.
- Can I switch tiers?
- Yes. You can move up a tier at any point and the difference is applied to your plan. Reach out directly to make the change.
- What if I need to stop early?
- Monthly plans are a commitment to your full program term. See our Terms & Conditions for details.
- Can I use Klarna or Afterpay?
- When you choose pay in full, Klarna and Afterpay may be offered at checkout so you can split the total into installments. Availability, approval, and repayment terms come from the provider, not from me, so read their terms before you pick one.
