❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can an online coach really motivate me remotely?
Yes, it's one of their main assets. A good online coach uses personal videos, motivating messages and regular follow-up to maintain your engagement. However, this requires that you be receptive to this type of support.
Can Smart Rabbit completely replace a coach?
For the technical program: yes totally. For motivation and accountability: no. Smart Rabbit excels at creating and adapting scientific programs, but doesn't provide the human psychological support that a coach brings.
Can I combine Smart Rabbit and an online coach?
Absolutely\! Some users take Smart Rabbit for the program (free) and an occasional coach for accountability (50-80€/month instead of 200€+). It's an economical hybrid approach.
How to verify the quality of an online coach?
Check: official diplomas/certifications, verified client reviews, documented transformations, specialization in your goal. Beware of unrealistic promises (10kg in 1 month). A good coach is transparent about expected results.
Is Smart Rabbit suitable for complete beginners?
Yes, it's even recommended\! The system automatically adapts exercises and volume to beginner level. Check our beginners guide to understand how Smart Rabbit accompanies novices step by step.
