FAQ
Questions, answered.
Who is ARISE coaching for?
Everyone from first-time runners to performance-driven age-group competitors. Coach Vans has worked with 100+ athletes across running, triathlon and HYROX, from couch-to-marathon beginners to podium finishers.
What sports do you coach?
Running (5K to marathon), HYROX and hybrid racing, triathlon and multisport, plus strength & conditioning to support all of them.
Is coaching online or face to face?
Both. 1-on-1 coaching and consultations are online, so you can train from anywhere. Face-to-face personal training is also available: Coach Vans comes to you for running form, HYROX and strength sessions.
What's the difference between Premium and Standard coaching?
Both include an individualized training plan. Standard (₱5,000/month, our most recommended plan) includes weekly feedback and a monthly video coaching call. Premium is fully customized and deep-dive, with priority support and weekly or bi-weekly coaching calls. It has limited spots and is by inquiry only, so book a call to discuss it.
How will I receive my training plan?
Your plan is delivered straight to your watch through a dedicated coaching app, with regular check-ins for training data analysis, education and quick adjustments.
I'm injured. Can you help?
Coach Vans does not diagnose or treat injuries. Once you're medically cleared, he can guide your return-to-run progression and align your training with your physio's or rehab protocol. He works closely with healthcare and rehabilitation professionals.
Is the consultation fee credited if I sign up?
Yes. The ₱1,500 consultation fee is credited toward a monthly coaching plan if you upgrade within a week.
How do I pay?
Pay securely online on the Services page using QR Ph, GCash, Maya or card. A payment processing fee is added at checkout. Once paid, you'll get a confirmation email with your onboarding form.
Can I get a refund?
All payments are final and non-refundable. If you're unsure which plan fits, book a discovery call before you pay.
What does the consultation include?
A focused 1-hour video call plus training plan templates you can follow on your own. It's not a custom-built program. For a fully individualized plan, choose Standard or Premium coaching.
Is the discovery call free?
Yes. The discovery call is free. It's a short chat about your goals so we can recommend the right coaching option.
What happens after I book a discovery call?
We'll talk through your goals, races, training history and any injuries, then recommend the coaching option that fits. If you decide to start, you'll fill out the onboarding form so your plan is built on real data.
Do you offer group training or corporate programs?
Yes. Group training sessions and specialized clinics are available for all skill levels, for friends, training clubs or co-workers. Coach Vans is also available for speaking engagements. Send an inquiry through the Book a Call page.
Are there extra fees for face-to-face training?
Personal training rates cover the professional fee only. Gym fees are covered by the client, and a transport fee may apply depending on location.
