Phil Hernon training q's... I see lots of people training with him and???

[SacToSD]

After coming to the conclusion that personal trainers in my area are pretty much worthless, I'm considering doing something online (w/ Phil Hernon or somebody). I know he's a board sponsor here, so that sounds good enough, but I'm not rich and I want to know that the money I'm spending is worth it, or not. What I can expect for signing up for the 250/yr plan? I can say that I'd like to overhaul my training program and learn -- correctly -- what to do to get fit and bigger... hopefully including nutrition info as well. I want to know from some sources other than phil himself (sorry big guy, I just want to hear it from paying customers), and I'm new here and don't know everybody, otherwise I would've PMed the list of people I've seen with his tag in their signature. Thanks bros

You can't go wrong with Phil. He has helped me tremendously over the years and I'd recommend him to anyone. Not only will he help you to achieve your goals, but under his guidance you'll do it the healthiest way possible.

Just don't buy his penis pump if he asks you to...

LOL

I will be hiring Phil myself later this year, and yes there are MANY people here who use him with success, his methods, diets and supplements have been proven for years, and he has been in this game a long time and has been very successful. ( remember when he beat Titus and he stormed off stage.) i am sure others who have and/or are currently using him will chime in.......... I also very much like DC, he has helped MANY too, including myself.

BOTTOM LINE

RESULTS WILL VARY.........MOST LIKE IT......SOME DONT I SUPPOSE.........SOME EXPECT MORE.....DOING AN ONLINE POLL WILL TELL YOU NOTHING AOBUT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW.

Its only been like 15 days but people who have seen me for a while are like, dude, what are you doing? So far I have no complaints... My body is responding incredibly fast especially to the diet. He is super quick in his response times to questions/emails, apparently even if the questions are stupid (mine ). I finally came around to hiring him because I had heard so many good things from this board, I would say money well spent, many reputable members here, one who has already posted above highly recommend him. I've lost more than 250 bucks in a poker game, I don't think its to huge of a risk man.

Phil is amazing, he's less than 1 dollar a day, and you get unlimited help from him via e-mail.
He'll make you lean and bigger.
Just follow his advice 100%.
If you get with him and need some help with meals or w/e, PM me and I'll help you if I can.
Gl on your choice, he's worth every penny, and you wont find someone who's nicer than Phil. EVEN IF HE GETS FUSTRATED WITH YOU.(joke with his trainees)

When you hire a PT, hire one that you want to look like, Phil is a Pro, and a monster, dont hire a fat guy from the gym who cant follow his own advice.

 

[arnoldismyhero]

Phil's training/diet/advice is great. You won't regret. Very quick to answer questions.



Hey Phil, I'm going to take that Aleve now, or my head will explode!

 

[arnoldismyhero]

One more thing:

I started training with him and a month later I got stretch marks while getting leaner.

and my chest hair starting growing faster

 

[chris250]

I dont think you can go wrong...I mean come on $250 what do you have to lose ??? Most trainers online are atleast in the $500-1500 per year range...So Phil is super cheap and answers all your questions...At first you might be like this is it ??? But honestly the program is pretty simple, but very effective...

HIRE PHIL!

You can't go wrong, If you listen to him you will see results! My avatar tells my story of his knowledge......

I am not saying that I am all that I am just saying look at what kind of shape he got me in.

 

[DatBtrue]

I started training with him...

and my chest hair starting growing faster

All three of them.

 

[buselmo]

although i don't agree completely with phil's nutritional philosophies (he knows what he's doing 90% of the time, but the only one who will know his body best is YOU not any trainer out there)
but, i'm going to say this with complete honesty:
hypothetically speaking, if I wasn't training the way phil taught me to, and he took me to the future and showed me the results i got then we went back in time, i'd pay him THOUSANDS! yes, you read that correctly, thousands to teach me how to train like that.
I totally feel like i ripped him off by paying him $250 per year to teach me all the things he did.

and really, i'm being totally honest here. it's not just some shameless plug. the training method alone is worth more than what he charges.

 

[WR66215]

I will say this much.....I will begin to work with Phil next week. However, I have been around long enough to realize how much knowledge he has to offer. If you have been here longer than a month or so that becomes pretty evident. His past accomplishments speak for themselves and looking at the photographic evidence of some of his current clients over the past year or so, completely proves that the money spent on Phil's services is a freaking bargain!

 

[aeliop]

What you should look at?

This is what I would look at:

Q: Who does he train? Does he just train high level competive bodybuilders or a certain niche like that? Or does he train a wide variation of people male and Female?

A: Look at who his Clients are, they range from high level, national class bodybuilders, females, female competitors, male competitors at every level, people in different countries, 18 year olds, 50+ year olds, pretty much every different aspect and one or more that you would probably fit into.

Q: Is Phil a ra ra, you can do it, body for life guy?

A: Phil in encouraging to an extent but I he knows that the motivational shit for one who is not motivated lasts about the end of rep 3 of you're first set. All of us that train under the Hernon banner our dedicated to our craft. We are not looking for a cheerleader or someone to talk us into going to the gym we have already slayed those dragons. What we want now is the proper guidance and knowledge, the map if you will, we'll find the treasure.


Now that you have assessed Phil, you should also assess yourself. What is it you want. Are you self motivated? Do you feel like you could have a great physique if somebody could clear up the fog for you and point you in the right direction or do you feel the only way you can make yourself lift is by hiring someone to motivate you? I appreciate you're due deligence and doing you're homework but you already have the answer, it's within yourself.

ARE YOU SAYIN THAT YOU ARE ALL THAT?? HAHAHHHAAAH JK

THANK YOU!!....SO, HOW MUCH DO YOU FIGURE YOU OWE ME BACK.

 

[jcwill]

well i only know two trainers that offers low prices, and if you dont want to be the best thats fine i will keep paying until i either am done in this sport or phil gets tired of me and my questions, just be glad he doesnt charge by the week

 

[HeavyHands]

I've been with Phil for around 6 weeks or so now... It has been a great experience. I love the diet, and even more so the training routine is AWESOME!! I feel honored to be able to associate myself with such an accomplished and knowledgeable man. In the last 5-6 weeks, I'm down 10 pounds (I've got weight/fat to lose) yet my strength is WAY UP and I'm feeling so much better all around.

You really can't put a price tag on this kind of experience to be able to work with a guy like Phil. And for what he is charging, its almost a crime!

He isn't going to hold your hand through everything, but he'll open the door and show you the way. Its a really rewarding process and I don't have one bad thing to say about my experience so far.

 

[Unholy]

Let me Chime in.

I have been working with Phil for almost 4 weeks now. Its not a long time but so far he has been nothing but helpful. His guidance changed the way I look at training and nutrition completely. He responds to emails promptly. And if you can't get the body you want, there's always male enhancement.
