How it Works

When you get started with Caliber, you’ll be asked to complete a short consultation form online so that they can determine if you’re a good fit for the program. Next, you’ll be given the opportunity to speak with a member of the Caliber team to discuss your goals in detail, learn more about the program, and be matched with the right personal trainer (Caliber refers to them as coaches) for your specific goals. You will be asked about your prior workout experience, how much time you have to exercise, your dietary preferences, what equipment you have access to (at home or in the gym), and more. 

Once you’ve been matched with  your coach, you will meet them via a video call for a kickoff session.  Then, they’ll develop a customized workout and nutrition plan built on Caliber’s science-based methodology to get you the results you want quickly. 

Price

Caliber offers a $50 discount when customers sign up for their fitness program. Caliber's program is personalized for each member, so pricing varies from member to member.  The initial program lasts 3 months and costs $267, after which you can choose to continue on with your coach for $200 per month thereafter. You are also welcome to train on your own and continue using the Caliber app for free. But since boredom often sets in when your routine doesn't change, many customers continue to work with Caliber coaches, who switch up your training to match your progress and keep you interested and committed to exercise.

There is no contract, meaning members can easily cancel their coaching at any time. Members use Caliber’s mobile app for all workout and nutrition plans, progress check-ins, video and text messaging with their coach, and more. Members also receive monthly video check-in calls with their coach to ensure they’re staying on track to their goals.

One of the most unique features Caliber offers is its results guarantee. If you don't reach the goals you and your trainers set together, Caliber will refund your subscription costs. That certainly reduces the financial risk of giving Caliber a try and is strong evidence that Caliber believes in the quality of its method.

What About Diets or Nutrition Plans?

Your Caliber coach will provide you with a personalized, guided nutrition program that supports your fitness goals. Diets aren’t restrictive and work in coordination with your fitness and training program.

Very responsible group of people with great vision digitizing personal training. Their methods are very rounded and implements latest training and dieting techniques. There's some improvements that could be done on Trainerize, the company that builds their app. Definitely look forward to seeing future updates!

Stephen is a committed and professional trainer who challenges you to be a better version of yourself. He has an innate ability to motivate you to challenge yourself to make positive changes in your life, and uplifts you with care and professionalism. He creates quality training and nutrition plans that are customised to your needs, taking into account your lifestyle, time commitments and your goals. In working with him, I've been able to create a training routine that is a part of my lifestyle, not just a temporary add-on. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen as an exceptional trainer who truly cares for his clients."

I have been using Caliber’s Personal Training services since January. Stephen, my trainer, has been great. His recommendations in terms of macros and workout routines have helped tons. Two months into it and I have increased my lean body mass approximately abt 5.7 pounds, and better yet I am seeing the changes in my arms, legs and even on my stomach! Just can’t wait to keep seeing the changes! Thank you Stephen!

I have been a client of Caliber for about a year. Stephen has been a great trainer. He understood my goals and capabilities before designing a programme and motivated me though-out the journey. Stephen is very knowledgable when it comes to macros and nutrients. I never felt that there were any limitations because Caliber is just online as I get more access to my personal trainer who is literally just a text away. What could be more satisfying when you know someone is keeping an attentive eye on your fitness progress and is always willing to answer your fitness related queries. The thing which I like the most about Caliber is that I don't need to join a gym and can perform the workouts in... Read More

I have been working with Chris Muir off and on for a little over a year. Chris is knowledgeable, responsive, and encouraging. He has done a great job of motivating me while kindly holding me accountable. It's very much a "personal " touch in spite of the "online trainer" title. When life has been super busy he has switched to my training protocol so I can push forward and still make progress. Caliber Fitness has been a positive experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have been a client of Caliber for more than 2 years, and my trainer Chris has really helped me a lot through my fitness journey. My training has been specifically designed to achieve my fitness goals; the training, despite being online, is personal, highly informative, motivational, and encouraging! I've come a long way from when I first started, with the help of my trainer and my program, and I am confident that Caliber will provide me with the support I need to continue in my fitness journey. Highly recommended!

I reached out to Caliber fitness when I needed to drop some weight and wanted to have some accountability whilst doing so, a change in my working location also meant an adjustment to the equipment I had available meaning I would be unable to work out as I was used to. This was around 6 months ago. I have been given multiple workout plans to suit my situation, with adjustments as and when required. As for the nutrition side of the coaching, I’ve been given sound advice and managed with relative ease to cruise past a plateau that I had previously hit when dropping weight, this coupled with the fact that my strength is for the most part intact is proof enough to me that things are...

I have been a working with Caliber and my trainer Jacob for a little over a year. I have made great progress so far! I have lost 96lbs and have gained a lot of confidence and knowledge along the way. The best thing about Caliber is all programs are tailored and created to your needs and goals. Nothing is set in stone as well, if you want to focus on something more, traveling or want to just change things up in general you can get your program narrowed in to what you need. Nutritional guidance is also included with macros and calories to follow. My experience with my trainer has been exceptional, he is extremely knowledgeable and takes a science based approach to what he does. He is... Read More

I'm closing in on the end of year two with CALIBER. When I was initially researching online trainers, I was looking for expertise, responsiveness, and personal engagement. I found all of those things and more with CALIBER. Chris not only provides thoughtfully designed workout programs, but is able to clearly explain why he's programmed a routine and its intended impact - not a drop of bro-science to be found here. Chris is also incredibly responsive when it comes to making tweaks to a workout, or subbing in a routine for when I'm on the road away from my home gym. The app that CALIBER offers to clients to track workouts is easy to use and often updated with new features. Nutrition... Read More

I have been a client of Caliber fitness for about 20 months. It has been a truly positive experience. My trainer is well versed in the peer reviewed science of the industry and implements this along with his personal experience to provide a program that has helped me achieve my goals with regard to my fitness. Along the way, I have become stronger, lost body fat and am much more confident in my physical capabilities. Because I have to travel for work, my trainer has also designed a program that I can take with me that keeps me moving forward making this an exquisitely flexible program. Even if you do not have access to a gym with lots of equipment this program can still work for you. I... Read More

I trained with my Caliber coach (Jacob) for over one year and it completely changed my life. I realize this phrase is often thrown around insincerely, but it's absolutely true for me. I've been out of shape and a poor eater most of my adult life (I'm 44). The accountability, motivation, knowledge, support, and professionalism made all the difference. I'm back to enjoying activities like slalom waterskiing that I haven't enjoyed since I was 18 years old. It got me moving, tracking, and seeing results. I'm on a consistent fitness and healthy-eating journey that I never thought would be possible at this point in my life.

I would recommend Caliber Fitness to anyone with a busy schedule that has used a personal trainer in the past. I couldn't be happier with this personal training. Chris will work with every aspect of your fitness goals and schedule. Over the past year and a half, he has fine tuned my workouts and nutrition to fit my ever changing work schedule. For example, I went from a 40/hr a week desk job to 55-60 hr traveling work week and Chris updated and changed my workouts to keep me progressing. I have gained strength in every muscle group and this is the strongest I have ever been. Chris is always there for you for anything that you need to update or ask about. Even from the trial Chris...

I realized I needed some help with my workouts and nutrition, so about 6 months ago I came across Caliber Fitness during some searching. I’m a busy dad and needed something that was affordable but also allowed me some flexibility. Since joining, I’ve been able to dial in my foods while also seeing some really great progress with my strength. And my trainer is absolutely awesome! He’s laid out a great workout plan for me, offers me useful tips, and is just all-around motivating. And one of the best parts is that I’ve been able to get my workouts in right at home. If I have to travel for work, not a problem. My trainer can set me up with a bodyweight routine I can do right in my hotel room.... Read More

If you want to really understand how your body reacts to three things; diet, sleep and workouts; this is the best place for you to start. I have been working out with Chris since November 2016 and I have gained tremendous knowledge about a lot of aspects related to working out. Chris has a wealth of knowledge about a lot of things include those random supplements that your gym dude recommends. Caliber also believes very strongly on ensuring that they are helping you build your desired body shape in the most safe and natural manner. There have been times when I used to get impatient but Chris would motivate me and remind me that the purpose is to be healthy and not ruin your body to... Read More

I've been with Caliber for over 3 years now. Chris has been my trainer ever since I decided to transform my body, back in 2015. Working with Chris, I have learnt a lot about fitness and nutrition. You get equipped with all the tools required to carve out the best version of you. When I began my fitness journey, I was overweight, with very little muscle on my frame and had no clue about nutrition. Prior to joining Caliber, I had been going to the gym for a couple years, but hadn't made any noticeable gains. This was primarily due to my lack of knowledge about nutrition. After I started working with Chris, I lost over 10kgs of fat, got lean and increased numbers on my key lifts bench... Read More

CALIBER is an excellent online personal training company that I would recommend to anyone. I have been with CALIBER for almost 2 years now. With the help of my trainer, Chris from CALIBER, I have lost close to 40 lbs, 10% body fat and 8 inches off my waist. My level of fitness has increased significantly. The improvement I have seen in myself because of CALIBER make me want to push myself to work harder at each workout. The workout plans are customize to fit my abilities as well as my schedule needs, and get changed over time to make sure that my strength continues to increase and for weight loss. If I have any questions, the response time from my trainer, Chris, less than 24 hours . The... Read More

I just started my second year with Caliber and I couldn't be happier. I have always struggled with weight, but with this program I have lost almost 50 lbs and I'm still losing weight. Not only have I done that, I have also added lean muscle. My waist went from a 44 to a 31. This is the smallest I have been since high school. Chris, my trainer, is awesome. He is supportive and always encourages me to keep going and push myself. He is always readily available to answer any questions, from food, to workout form, to supplements. My wife was so impressed with this program and my transformation that she joined and has been with them for a year, and she is also impressed and doing great. I never... Read More

I’ve been a client with CALIBER for just over 2 years and I couldn’t be happier. Prior to signing up with them, I had tried another online fitness program (FitOrbit, now defunct) and explored many others. In my experience, these other services were either too cheap, and didn’t provide the level of service I was looking for, relying upon pre-packaged routines with little to no interaction with an actual trainer, or ungodly expensive ($200 - $500 a month). For $99/month, CALIBER delivers exactly what they promise and what I was looking for: a custom fitness and nutrition plan that is adjusted regularly to help meet your goals and weekly check-ins with an extremely knowledgeable trainer...
