Online weight loss coach UK, from £29 a month
A weight loss coach sets your targets, plans your training and food, and changes the plan as your results come in. With Zama Fitness that costs from £29 a month: calorie and protein targets, meals from UK supermarkets, a gym or home programme, and a Weigh-In Day every four weeks where your coach reads your trend and adjusts everything.
By Simon, head coach at Zama Fitness. Updated 24 October 2026.
What a weight loss coach does
- Sets your numbers. Calorie and protein targets from your size, age, activity and goal, not a number from a magazine.
- Plans your food. Meals you can buy in Tesco, Aldi, Sainsbury's or Lidl, in UK pack sizes.
- Plans your training. Strength training so the weight you lose is fat, not muscle, in a gym or at home.
- Reads your trend. A single weigh-in tells you little; four weeks of weigh-ins, measurements and energy tell your coach what to change.
- Keeps you accountable. Knowing someone will read your check-in is often what keeps you going in week three.

Weight loss coach near me, or online?
A weight loss coach near you means set sessions in one place, usually a gym. That suits you if you want someone beside you while you train. But weight loss happens in the other 166 hours of the week: what you eat, how much you move and whether you keep going.
An online weight loss coach plans all of that, for less than one personal training session a week, and works wherever you are in the UK. If you are looking for a personal trainer near me for weight loss, it is worth comparing both.
A weight loss accountability coach, not just a plan
Most people know roughly what to do. What they lack is someone checking. On Coached you send a quick check-in every week and your coach writes to you every month about what is working and what changes next. On Core, your coach reads your Weigh-In Day every four weeks.
Either way, the plan changes when your results say so, not when you lose motivation.
Who our weight loss coaching suits
- Adults in the UK who want to lose fat and keep it off, not crash diet.
- People who can train two to four times a week, at the gym or at home with dumbbells.
- Anyone who has lost weight before and put it back on, and wants a plan for keeping it off.
- Women in perimenopause and menopause, and men and women over 40.

Weight loss coaching: your questions.
What does a weight loss coach do?
Sets your calorie and protein targets, gives you a training plan and meals that fit your life, and checks your progress so the plan changes when your results say it should. The checking is the part most people cannot do for themselves.
How much does a weight loss coach cost in the UK?
One-to-one online coaches usually charge £80 to £150 a month, and a personal trainer near you £30 to £60 a session. Zama Fitness is £29 a month for Core and £59 a month for Coached, with no joining fee.
Is an online weight loss coach as good as one near me?
For weight loss, usually yes. Results come from what you eat and do between sessions, and an online coach plans all of it, wherever you train. A coach near you makes most sense if you want someone beside you in the gym.
Will I have to follow a strict diet?
No. You get calorie and protein targets and meal guides built from UK supermarket food, and you can swap meals for ones you prefer as long as you stay close to your targets.
How often will my coach check in?
On Core, your coach reads your Weigh-In Day check-in every four weeks and updates your plan. On Coached, you also send three answers and your weight each week, and get a written review from your coach every month.
Do you coach people on Mounjaro or Wegovy?
Yes, on a separate support plan reviewed by a registered dietitian, working alongside your prescriber. We do not prescribe medication.
