Before I can provide an opinion, I have a couple of questions:

1. How many sessions per week?
2. What is provided during each session?
3. Does the trainer have any credentials?
4. Is he trained and certified?
5. Where did he receive his training?

Is this including any sort of interaction/feedback/checkins?

I’d like to change the question to: Is $300 too much for an on line couching plan~?

 If $300 is not too much… maybe I’ll start saving up~ Does it include biscotti~?

He is going to coach me online once a week. Includes diet and guidance overall. I will never meet him in person. Yes, I think he is certified.

Find out whether he is certified and, if so, what certification he has. If he is a registered dietician/nutritionist, 12 sessions for $300 does not sound out of line.

there is a chance he is very qualified and will give you great personalized advice that isn't just routine "you can do it!" scripted motivation......

on the other hand, diet advice, nutrition counseling, goal-setting, and gym routines are all over the 'net for free......

are you doing this for yourself and your own long-term health......or only for your proposed foray into being an escort/provider/companion??......

It has nothing to do with me thinking about being a escort. For starters I don't think I will end up doing the latter. But I'm still curious.

Is he telling you something you can't read out of a book? I can understand wanting to hire a hot man for inspiration, but the information should be pretty straightforward and available from college-educated professionals in printed form. Hiring a hot dude would just be to inspire me. All of these dietary supplements are gimmicks promoted by hot body-builders who got the body they have from hard work (+/- steroids), not from supplements. 

The principles are basically pretty simple. In terms of nutrition, aim for complex rather than simple carbohydrates, unsaturated rather than saturated fat, more fruit and vegetables with lean protein (seafood, white poultry meat), with diets which approach more of a Mediterranean flair/South Beach Diet. With respect to muscles, proximal muscles work distal limbs, and the goal is to have the weight you lift get you to exhaustion at around 8 to 12 repetitions (if you can't get to 8, decrease the weight, if you go beyond 12, increase the weight). With respect to fat loss, it's first on, last off, so if you put on weight first at your waist, that's the last place it'll come off, and doing sit-ups will not help you get weight off at that particular place.

For reasons I cannot fathom, when I read this I thought 'South Park', only for a moment, but I thought it!
