About 6 months ago I was looking for a trainer who was a trans man. The main goals I wanted to focus on were to prep for my upcoming top surgery, tone and lose some weight. Through the social media algorithm gods, I came across Alex Tilinca’s page. He seemed to offer an extensive virtual program and I was impressed with what I saw, so I set up some time with Phil to ask some intake questions. The onboarding process was super easy, and soon after I was matched with Coach Elliot. I am so, so grateful to have been paired up with Coach Elliot. Not only does he know his stuff, but he’s probably one of the nicest, most caring people I’ve ever met. I’ve been used to working with trainers who yell and make you feel bad about everything - Elliot is the complete opposite. He genuinely cares about your goals, takes the time to explain in depth any sort of questions or issues you might be have, he’s patient, understanding, encouraging, and has really inspired me to stay on track with my plan. In the past, I’ve easily given up or lost interest and have never liked working out at all, but after working with Elliot I’ve really started to change my mind and outlook - I now look forward to workout days. Since February I’ve lowered my blood pressure down to a normal level again, I’m fitting into clothes I haven’t been able to wear in a couple years, I’m feeling so much stronger, and my confidence is a lot higher. I know I’m the one that put in the work to change myself, but I honestly couldn’t have done it without the motivation and support from Coach Elliot. Overall, I’m super pleased with the results so far and I’m glad I decided to sign up with Alex’s program. I would hands down recommend this to anyone looking to get in shape, feel better about themselves and work with a group of great guys who are extremely dedicated and knowledgeable.

I have been with Alex for over 3 months now and honestly, he has been super helpful and attentive towards my goals. You will get a passionate, knowledgeable, consistent, available, and non-judgmental coach, however it is important that people remember that you also have to put in the work yourself. I have finally broke my plateau when I finally 100% committed to the program Alex gave me. I also feel very safe with asking him any types of questions whether it's about a workout plan, my macros, or a video about proper form. He always answers me as soon as he can. I highly recommend him.

I’ve been training with Coach Maximus for 6 months now and can’t recommend him enough. He’s been a great source of guidance and support as we work towards my goals. The meal and workout plans have been personally tailored to my needs and goals, it’s all way more than I ever thought you could get out of a trainer. The entire experience has been great and I would encourage anyone considering getting in whatever shape they desire to try this program.

I’ve been working with coach Dominique for about 6 months now and she has been amazing. I came into the program with two back surgery and a lot of other issues causing some limitations due to being in the military for 17 years. She has helped me by planning a workout program with all that in mind. Once I started doing to workouts I felt better and stronger than I have had in years and didn’t have any issues with my back. She has also given me other things to try like mobility or stretches to try out along the way. The meal plans have been amazing also and she works with dietary restrictions also. I had top surgery done in early May, and all the work I put in before the surgery definitely helped. She has been a big supporter during my recovery and has shifted to focus more on the nutrition side since I can’t work out for a few weeks. Over all she has been amazing and is easy to communicate with and is quick to get back to me when I have questions. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a coach!

I was very excited to find a fitness program led by queer people for queer people so I had to try it. Beginning my gym journey was always very intimidating for me, but Coach Dominique has helped me make progress while keeping things manageable. Her feedback is always supportive while encouraging positive change in any needed areas. I have greatly appreciated all of her support.

Coach Elliot has been the difference in my fitness journey. A lot has changed in my life and my relationship with sports and fitness has changed along with it. Having Elliot as my coach has held me accountable, enabled me to feel joy in my programming and just all around made me feel seen. I couldn’t ask for a better support system.

Coach Elliot has been a great coach! We’ve been working together for 3 months and I see continuing changes in my body. I ask quite a few “dumb” questions and I’m always met with respect. 10/10 will continue to choose Coach Elliot!

I filled out the application for Alex Tilinca Coaching on Jan 25th 2024. For context, prior to that, on Jan 23rd I had a doctor's appointment where I weighed in at 248lbs and had a blood pressure reading of 141/90. On Jan 26th I had a meeting with Phil and signed up for training with a starting date of Monday, Jan 29th. On that Monday morning, Coach Elliot reached out via audio message, introduced himself, and went over the information that I had provided initially. He asked about my goals and what previous training I've done (because during my intake, I had mentioned previously following a program from Jeff Nippard's website). Later that afternoon I received the meal plan and training program from Coach Elliot and informed me that the first week would be solely to establish my maintenance calories and went over how the weekly checkins are done. It is now May 21st and I'm currently at 217lbs, and my blood pressure at my doctors appointment a few weeks ago is now 114/69. I've had my program changed twice since then, one of those times was just for a week, because I informed Coach Elliot I would be on vacation and would have limited gym equipment. My meals have been updated twice since. I was previously informed that if I got bored or didn't enjoy a meal on the plan, to rate it low, and it would be swapped out, but I personally don't mind eating the same things every day, and I don't need much variety in my meals. After finding my maintenance calories and being put on a slight deficit, my macros haven't been changed (Because I've been losing anywhere from 0.5lbs to 2lbs every week on my current program), but Coach Elliot has periodically increased my daily step count from the initial 5k to the current 10k steps. TLDR, I know this is a long review. Just wanted to share my experience. Im so happy I decided to join Alex Tilinca Coaching, and am grateful to have Coach Elliot coaching me. I've honestly gotten betters results in the last 4 months then I've gotten in trying to lose weight on my own all of last year (I originally weighed 265lbs on Jan 2023).
