Why Tally Body
Coaching that starts with the person, not the program.
There is no shortage of workouts on the internet. What most people are missing is someone who knows their body, their history, and their week — and who adjusts the plan when any of those change.
That is what Tally Body does. Every client starts with a conversation and an assessment, not a template. From there you get a program written for you, coaching that corrects what a video never could, and a schedule built around the days you can genuinely train rather than the days a plan wishes you could.
The goal is not a harder workout. It is a plan you can actually keep.
Some clients come in to get strong for the first time. Some are chasing a stage. Some want their clothes to fit differently, or their back to stop hurting, or to stop starting over every January. All of it is welcome here, and none of it requires you to already be in shape.
Progress is tracked session to session, so the work stays visible in the weeks when the mirror is slow to catch up. And when a week goes badly, you don't start over — you show up, we adjust, and we keep going.
Coaching
Four ways to work together.
Start where you are. Every service is coached by the same person, built on the same assessment, and adjusted as often as your body and your schedule require.
Personal Training
Hands-on coaching, every session.
One-on-one and partner training in Chicago. Form coached in real time, a program written around your assessment, and accountability you can't negotiate with.
In person — Chicago
02Nutrition Coaching
Habits that survive a real week.
Flexible targets, no banned foods, and check-ins that adjust as your body changes. Offered on its own or alongside training.
In person or remote
03Bodybuilding Coaching
Physique work, on stage or off it.
Building, cutting, prep, peak week, and the recovery after — coached by someone who has done it on stage, for competitors and non-competitors alike.
In person or remote
04Online Coaching
Your program, wherever you train.
A written program for the gym you have, form review from video you send in, regular check-ins, and the same adjustments as an in-person client.
Anywhere
You should leave every session stronger, more knowledgeable, and more confident than when you walked in.
Tally Body — Our VisionHow It Works
Four steps from first message to first session.
Nothing about starting should feel like a test you have to pass. The process below exists so you know exactly what happens next — before you commit to anything.
Apply
A short application about your goals, your training history, and your availability. It takes a few minutes and there is no obligation attached to it.
Consultation
We talk through what you want, what has and hasn't worked before, and what your week realistically allows. A conversation, not a sales pitch — if we aren't the right fit, we'll say so.
Assessment
We look at how you move, where you're limited, and what your starting point actually is — so the plan is built on facts rather than assumptions.
Train & Adjust
You get a program written for you and coaching behind it. Progress is tracked, the plan is revised as you get stronger, and the goal keeps moving forward with you.
Your Coach
Coached by someone who has done the work.
Tally Body was founded in Chicago in 2018 on a straightforward idea: coaching should make you independent, not dependent.
Four bodybuilding competitions and two wins mean the hard parts of this sport aren't theoretical here — the deep prep weeks, the plateaus, the rebuild afterward. That experience shows up in how programs are written and in how honestly they're adjusted.
It also shows up in what isn't sold to you. No crash plans, no fear-based nutrition, no program you'd have to abandon the first busy week. Just the version of the work that keeps producing results after the novelty wears off.
The long-term goal is a client who understands their own training.
What We Stand For
Five things this coaching is built on.
These aren't wall decorations. They decide what gets programmed, what gets said out loud, and what never gets sold to you.
Straight answers about what your plan will and won't do, how long it will take, and when something isn't working. Including when the honest answer costs a sale.
No single method fits every body. The plan follows what your assessment, your results, and your life are actually saying — not a rulebook.
Walking into a gym you're unsure of takes more nerve than any set does. That first step is respected here, not tested.
Strength you can measure changes how you carry yourself outside the gym. That carry-over is the point, not a side effect.
A missed week is a week to adjust around. Consistency you can sustain will beat a perfect plan you abandon, every time.
You learn why a movement is programmed and how it should feel — so what you gain here stays with you long after the session ends.
