Body / Physique coaching
Where are you starting?
You do not need to choose a coaching package yet. Start with the kind of help you are looking for.
Same coach. Different baseline.
You are putting in the work. What needs to change?
You already train. Now you want more structure, clearer progress, or help making the pieces work together.
Find your next stepThe stage is the goal. The person comes first.
First show or next season, start with a conversation about your experience, ambitions and what preparation would ask of you.
Talk about competingAlready taking a GLP-1? Let’s talk about the rest.
Get coaching around training, everyday food choices and routines, starting with where you are now.
This route is for people already using GLP-1 medication. Medication decisions stay with your prescribing clinician. BASELINE does not prescribe medication, change doses or diagnose from blood results.
Blood work is not required for the R500 assessment. It becomes a programme-onboarding requirement only if you proceed into a BASELINE diet or training programme. Shannon will confirm the required tests.

Meet Shannon
Your goals. Not somebody else's.
Coaching starts with listening. What matters to you? What have you tried? What can you realistically keep doing when life gets busy?
Shannon's approach is to understand the person before deciding on the plan, and to help you build something you can trust yourself to follow. That can mean knowing when to push. It can also mean knowing when more is not better.
Start with your assessmentR500 BASELINE Assessment
Before you buy a plan, get a clearer picture.
What are you working towards? What have you tried? What keeps getting in the way? Your BASELINE Assessment gives you space to work through those questions with Shannon before deciding what support you need.
A short preparation guide
A short guide for your starting point, so you know what to think about and what to bring to the conversation.
A proper conversation
A 60-minute one-to-one Bookem video assessment covering your goals, your current routine and the practical things your next step needs to account for.

After the assessment
The support should fit the person.
Some people need a clear plan they can follow. Some need regular check-ins. Some want closer guidance. You do not have to guess which one is right before we have met.
The Plan
A training plan, nutrition framework, or both, agreed around your goals and the information you share. For people who want a clear direction and are comfortable putting it into practice independently.
The Plan + Support
Your plan, with agreed check-ins to talk through what is working and what needs attention.
Full Coaching
A closer coaching relationship, with the level of contact and review agreed before you begin.
Shannon will explain the recommended option, what it includes and what it costs before you commit. Ongoing coaching is separate from the R500 assessment.
BASELINE community
For every body
Training, food habits and a clearer direction, whether you are finding your feet or preparing to compete.
Questions
Before you start
Know what you’re signing up for.
Do I need to be fit already?
No. The assessment starts with your current routine and experience. You do not need to reach a particular fitness level before the conversation.
Is this only for bodybuilders?
No. Beginner, Intermediate and Competitive are different starting points within the Body / Physique route. You do not need a stage goal to work with BASELINE.
Is the assessment online?
Yes. The assessment is a one-to-one Bookem video conversation with Shannon. Your Bookem confirmation includes native video joining details after successful payment.
What does the R500 include?
A short preparation guide for your pathway, your assessment with Shannon and a written BASELINE Assessment Summary afterwards.
What if I do not want ongoing coaching?
You still receive your written assessment after your call. You are not obliged to buy another service.
Will I get a full training or food plan in the assessment?
No. The assessment clarifies your starting point, priorities and recommended next step. A full plan or ongoing coaching is a separate service.
Can Shannon advise me whether to start GLP-1 medication?
No. The GLP-1 Support route is for people already taking it. Prescribing, dose changes and medical questions belong with your prescribing clinician.
Do I need blood results for the GLP-1 assessment?
No. Blood work is not required to book or complete the R500 GLP-1 Assessment. If you later choose to start a BASELINE diet or training programme, blood work becomes part of the programme-onboarding requirements before that programme begins. The exact required tests will be confirmed by Shannon. Document uploads and session recording are unavailable for this MVP.
