Certified Health Coach FAQs

Health Coaching Questions

What is the difference between a health coach and a personal trainer?

A personal trainer focuses on the physiological side of health such as exercising, muscle growth, and weight loss. A health coach can create workouts and exercise plans for weight loss or other goals, but they offer more of a mental well-being focus.

Does a health coach make nutrition plans?

Yes, a personal health coach creates meal and workout plans to help clients establish healthy habits. In addition they:

• Listens to their clients’ needs and challenges then guides, directs, and holds them accountable.
• Empowers clients to adopt and sustain healthy lifestyle behaviors that prevent, mitigate, and reverse chronic diseases.
• Focuses on the whole person by looking at a broader, more comprehensive view of one’s life.
• Helps clients achieve healthy routines to reach goals plus improve their physical, mental, and emotional wellness.
• Optimizes their clients’ health and wellbeing, enhancing their ability to truly thrive.

What certification(s) should a health coach have?

A credible health coach will have a nationally accredited professional certification through one of the premier certifying agencies such as the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) or the International Coach Federation (ICF). These are the highest standard of competence for a coaching professional and provide assurance to the general population that the coach has mastered foundational principles in coaching. The ACE Health Coach Certification is the only health coach certification accredited by the NCCA, and is considered the gold standard in health and fitness.

Health Questions

I’ve tried a million diets and have lost a ton of weight, only to regain more back. How do I keep it off?

The key to permanent weight-loss success is to make lifestyle changes that include a healthy eating plan and ample physical activity.

I don’t have a lot of time. How can I fit a healthy exercise and nutrition program into my busy schedule?

There are small changes that do not take much extra time. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking in one of the far away slots at the grocery store as well as opting for the healthier choices if eating out (e.g. fast food, etc.) such as grilled chicken, salads, and even opting for kids meals (fewer calories) all make a difference.

What guidelines can I use to evaluate the quality of a diet?

When evaluating popular diets, ask the following questions: Is it healthy? How does the diet cut calories? Does the diet advocate exercise? Does it make sense?

Support Questions

Do I have to be an executive to be a client?
