Common questions
Is Geebs Coaching more expensive than Trainwell?
Geebs does not publish 1:1 package prices; exact options are covered on the strategy call. Trainwell's public site lists $149 USD/month billed in three-month increments, plus taxes. Geebs also offers a $100 one-time consultation call and a $24.99/month community; check both sites for current terms.
How is Geebs different from Trainwell if both use a remote trainer?
Trainwell is an app-based remote personal training service: its onboarding begins with a quiz, then trainer selection, and it lets members switch trainers in the app. Geebs is one named coach — Kris Oddo — for the coaching relationship, with training, nutrition guidance, and accountability coordinated together.
Does Trainwell include nutrition coaching?
Trainwell says trainers provide nutrition guidance, healthy-eating tips, mindful-eating support, and habit tracking, but not specific meal plans. Geebs provides fitness-nutrition guidance such as macro targets, habit structure, and accountability around meals; it is not medical nutrition therapy.
Can I switch coaches at Geebs like I can switch trainers on Trainwell?
Geebs Coaching is Kris Oddo. There is no coach network to switch within — the model is one named coach for the full relationship. If that is not what you want, Trainwell's trainer-switch feature may be a better fit.
Trainwell offers a 14-day free trial. Does Geebs?
Geebs does not offer a free trial for 1:1 coaching. The strategy call is the entry point — it lets both sides confirm fit before any commitment. The $100 one-time consultation call is available without an application for those who want Kris's eyes on their situation before a strategy call.
