Online Coaching Reviews

I have been going to the gym on and off for most of my adult life, then the last 6-7 years have been committed to going 4-5 days a week.
Diet was always my downfall just eating lots of protein but also lots of pub foods on days off work etc, I was using peds but just spinning my wheels not getting anywhere significant due to diet being out of whack.

After seeing the results of @brolex78 I thought fuck this I'm going with this coach!

Within a couple days @The Professor had called me and gave me a full rundown of what I needed to do going forward.. food, peds and eventually training once I realised how switched on this man was. I even had to ask to pay him as he'd given me all this info and hadn't asked for any money yet.

Fast forward 9+ months and I'm in the best shape of my life. I've never seen my abs until now, my Mrs can't believe how good I look and this has all been on minimal peds!

Stano is an endless encyclopaedia of info and is constantly learning new courses on how to improve for his clients and replies to any questions almost any time of the day it's unreal.

Anyway here's a before and after of around 9months, and thats having holidays inbetween and still having beers and BBQs/weddings with family and friends when they pop up. @TheProfessor has been a godsend.
And people struggle to understand why we do this, keep up the hard work mate.
 
Been with stanno for a while now what everyone has been saying is true easily one of the most approachable and knowledgeable coaches I’ve dealt with and it caters to YOUR lifestyle not the other way around around food you like to eat, training programs focusing on your physique goals, peds with your health in mind. The crew and stanno always up for a chat and to motivate each other with girl and guy clients. Also stanno is always finding ways to improve his service by doing courses and developing better ways for us to be coached. Starting a push phase but ended my cruise looking the best I’ve ever looked in my life. This is the end of my cruise

You have done extremely well! What you forgot to mention during the last couple of months was that you were also battling a severe back injury, which needed to be managed. Adjustments to training programs and implementing correct exercises to help resolve the issue. Plus you are also a Dad who spends a lot of time with his family and has work commitments to attend to. Goes to show with the right framework and a committed client such as yourself, progress can always be made. Looking forward to the growing phase over the next 6 months!

Please to have you on the team, my friend!
Like I said he finds a way to incorporate the programming, nutrition and peds use to compliment YOUR lifestyle not just I want to do this because I said so it’s fully catered to you. Helps you overcome hurdles as they pop up and still move forward towards your goals
 
Few weeks with Stano. Let myself go big time after coming off anabolics, thought I’d get with the proff now that I’m back on. The man’s tightened me up in a couple weeks, primed and ready to grow for next years comp. Bodyfat down, strength up, the man is a wizard. 300mg of AAS. No death blasts unfortunately, but not necessary with Team S. Three weeks between pics. Lean gain for the next 12 months and see you fuckers on stage

I've been training now for near 10 years, and do a lot of research and digging myself. I've seen a lot of progress myself and thought I knew a lot but I'd seen Stano's posts on here and was impressed with the amount of knowledge he has. From the very first call with him, his knowledge and passion shine through. Since joining, he's constantly learning more from key industry figures, distilling it down and sharing with his clients.

I've been working with Stano for about 6 months now. A cut phase > into a maintenance phase > now the start of a bulk. His calm, dedicated approach, his continual search for learning and improving and growing is impressive - more-so at how he shares, summarises and answers all questions and explains his approach.

His approach is results backed, but flexible and sensible - and delivers results consistently, and sustainably. I've been really happy with my results, dropping fat or packing on lean tissue in the healthiest way. The attached photos show some of that, with my current goal to be just under 100kg around ~8% bodyfat by the end of the year.

He's made me feel comfortable and confident as I hit my goals with his coaching, supported and free to ask and learn along the way. He's fostered a real community, where we also learn and support each other.

Stano's got big plans for the future, I'm excited to be with the Stano crew and for the changes to come💪

I joined Team Stanno back in September last year, after my initial one hour phone call with the man himself I knew I came to the right place.
We started a growth phase not too long after joining.
Food and PEDs were titrated up and throughout the whole phase I felt great, physically and mentally, something I was missing with a previous coach.
The man is a literal encyclopaedia of knowledge and for that alone being a member of this team has been invaluable.
Now currently in the middle of a wash off.
The diet has been tailored to suit me and updated regularly with plenty of options which has kept me motivated to not deviate from the plan.
The results speak for themselves.

Just wanted to put up a quick review of my time thus far with the good man before I start a log. I started with Team Stano at the tail end of last year after finishing up with another coach who just didn't know up from down. As mentioned above, after the initial phone call that lasted north of 2 hours i knew i was in the right place. We completed a mini blast that i was already in and then i was off overseas for a couple of weeks. When i got home we got straight in to my first push under the professors guidance. Peds in this time have not exceeded 550mg total load split between mast and test, little bit of hgh and slin. Calories were pushed up accordingly and training was individualized to me as i have numerous ongoing niggles and injuries. We have basically just gotten going with this push and there are no signs of slowing down. I could not recommend Team Stano more if i tried, the group dynamic, the level of service and the knowledge that is shared with us is second to none. Heres to many years ahead being part of Team Stano. Thank you for all you do for us mate, from the phone calls to the constant drive to expand yours and our knowledge, its appreciated massively. I will complete a more in depth log shortly but here are some before and after shots of my back development so far, which i thought was pretty impressive considering we have not been putting any specific focus on back development (and i have been in the gym albeit not pursuing it seriously for the last 14 years). First photo is February the 18th this year, and the second photo is current. There is only 3-4kg difference in body weight here.

I started with Team S early November 2023. I was greeted with an initial consult call that went for about an hour from memory. And I was sold in the first five minutes to say the least.

I was after guidance with PEDs, nutrition and training programs and Stano has delivered all of that and more.

Everything is tailored to the individual and there has never been a question I’ve asked gone unanswered.

If there has ever been an issue with injury, digestion or a reaction to a ped, Stano would respond immediately with a devised and well collected plan and would talk me through any issues.

Stano is also a top guy in general who genuinely cares about his clients and wants to see them succeed in their goals. His enthusiasm and love for the sport has definitely had a positive effect on myself and helped me tunnel in on my goals and push myself.

As well, it’s a great group of guys and girls who all share the same interest and passion and motivate each other.

Joining Team S was by far the best decision I could’ve made for myself. Absolutely loving it 💪🏽
 
Not gonna lie. I regularly ask this guy for help with PEDs. The knowledge this guy has is unbelievable
 
I embarked on my fitness journey with Professor five months ago, and the progress I've made under his guidance has been excellent so far. One of the standout features of Stanno's coaching is his approach to nutrition. Unlike generic, one-size-fits-all diet plans, Stanno took the time to understand my preferences and crafted a sustainable diet plan that aligns perfectly with my tastes. This personalized approach not only makes it easier to stick to the plan but also ensures that I enjoy the foods I eat.



What sets him apart is his wealth of knowledge in nutrition, performance-enhancing drugs (PED), and training. He's like a walking encyclopedia, always ready with well-informed answers to any questions I have. Whether it's optimizing my meals, fine-tuning my workout routine, or discussing the PED use, his expertise shines through. What's more impressive is his availability and responsiveness. Regardless of the time or day, Stanno is prompt with his messages, providing guidance and support whenever I need it.



Overall, my experience with Stanno has been incredibly positive. With his guidance, I've not only achieved solid progress but also gained valuable insights into nutrition and training. If you're looking for a coach who offers personalized plans, expert knowledge, and unwavering support, Professor is the perfect choice.

and on side note man himself is pretty jacked and stage ready.

Handing over my entire training and diet regime was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made, but it has been the BEST experience to date. Moving away from "bro science" and fully committing to my coach’s philosophies and methods has transformed not just my training, but my mindset.

He is an absolute powerhouse of knowledge—charismatic, caring, and always striving for perfection. No question is too small, no detail overlooked—he has time for his athletes anytime, and his dedication is unmatched.

To call him "The Professor" is an understatement! His approach to coaching is on another level, blending science, experience, and passion into a formula for success. I will not consider working with any other coach—he has set the bar beyond anything I expected!

If you’re serious about taking your training to the next level, look no further.
 
I’ve been training with Stano for the past year, and he has been an absolute game-changer for both my physique and mindset. His dedication, expertise, and unwavering support have helped me push past limits I never thought possible. Not only has he transformed my fitness, but he’s also helped me develop a stronger, more positive outlook that extends beyond the gym.
What sets Stano apart is his genuine passion for helping his clients succeed. He is always available, approachable, and happy to chat whenever I need guidance or motivation. He is also extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to share valuable insights with the group.
If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares, motivates, and delivers real results, I highly recommend Stano. He’s not just a trainer—he’s an inspiration!
 
Every now and again you get lucky and get the opportunity to work with someone like Stano. It’s impossible to speak highly enough of Stano but let me make an attempt… his knowledge, unmatched. His approach to the individuals needs, unmatched. Stano constantly pushes his understanding of the next advancements in the science of bodybuilding and provides incredible results to his clients. When talking to others who are trained by other coaches, it seems as if they are stuck doing the same thing 20 years ago.

I have said it often but I will say it again, I should have done coaching years ago. I thought I knew what I was doing but it is laughable at how little I knew. Stand takes the time to explain and guide you through. One of the most rewarding things I have ever done and I am only just getting started. Truly looking forward to what comes next after having handed over every aspect of my nutrition and training to Stano. Loving and trusting the process! Can’t thank him enough!
