Weight-Loss Coaching in South Africa
Maddy coaches clients across South Africa online — live classes stream in your local time, plans are built from your Body Scan, and pricing shows in ZAR alongside INR. FitnessByMaddy has no physical location in South Africa; it is an online coaching service that meets you in your own city. Pick your city below for class times computed to its exact timezone.
Weight loss is arithmetic plus adherence, and coaching exists because the second part is the hard one. Maddy sets your calorie deficit from your own numbers — maintenance estimated with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then a pace of roughly 0.5–1% of body weight per week, a range used in the sports-nutrition literature because it protects muscle and stays liveable. Training keeps the muscle: two to four strength sessions weekly, with cardio added as a tool rather than a punishment. Weekly check-ins read your weight as a trend, not a single morning's spike, and the plan adjusts when the trend stalls — including scheduled diet breaks instead of unplanned blowouts. No fat-burner talk, no detox, no shame. The Body Scan gives him your starting point in about three minutes; the programme does the rest one honest week at a time.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Deficit set from your own maintenance estimate, paced at roughly 0.5–1% of body weight per week.
- Strength training stays in the plan to protect muscle while the scale moves.
- Weight read as a 7-day trend, never a single morning's number.
- Stalls get a protocol: adherence audit first, then intake or activity adjustments, then a scheduled diet break.
- Missed days are data for the next adjustment, not a reason to restart on Monday.
Who this is for:
- Anyone with meaningful weight to lose who is done with crash cycles and rebound.
- People who want the math of their deficit shown, not a mystery meal plan.

Common questions
How much weight will I lose?
No honest coach hands you a number upfront. The plan is paced at roughly 0.5–1% of body weight per week and adjusted from your actual trend — your rate depends on your adherence, starting point, and consistency, which is exactly what the coaching manages.
Do I have to do cardio every day?
No. Strength training is the non-negotiable core because it protects muscle in a deficit; cardio is added in doses that fit your schedule and preferences.
What happens when the scale stalls?
Stalls have a written protocol: first an adherence audit, then the 7-day trend checked against intake, then a deliberate adjustment or a scheduled diet break. Nothing is guessed and nothing is punished.
