#104: The Benefits of an Online Coach vs an In-Person Trainer

If in-person training works, why do so many people still struggle to see lasting results? In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver, Ryan Stevens, and Dr. Taylor Waters break down online coaching versus in person training based on years of real-world coaching on both sides. They explain where in person training can be useful early on for confidence, technique, and structure, and why it often plateaus once those basics are in place. The conversation then shifts to what actually drives long-term transformation: daily accountability, nutrition, habits, recovery, and lifestyle systems that traditional personal training rarely covers. If you are deciding where to invest your time, money, and energy for real progress, this episode gives you a clear framework to understand how results are actually built and which model supports that reality.
