Caliber Fitness is an evidence-based online personal training program aimed at helping members lose weight and get in shape anytime, anywhere. The program consists of personalized workout and meal plans from certified trainers that members can access and track via mobile app. Caliber Fitness was founded in 2014 and is based in New York City.

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.

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...
