I am building Fitness Coaching Platform The PFC Club, ask me anything about fitness and career in fitness
You might know me via Twitter (x). We are building pfc club organically. No cash burn so far. Bootstrapped. Our coaches are making 2 lakh per month average. The market is big. Ask me anything.

@Chirag_Barjatya Hey Chirag, a big fan of the work you’re doing.
My question is:
I follow a Push/Pull/Legs Split, and currently I’m at a 13.8% Body Fat Percentage and a BMR of 1925kcal, TBW is 47.5%
Max Squats is currently at 100kgx12
How do I think about these statistics? Where does it put me in terms of Beginner/Intermediate/Advance.
Finally, help me understand the value prop from The PFC Club for someone like me who
Is interested in general fitness and taking my physique to another level.

You are definitely touching the “advanced category” soon. 100x12 is good stuff. At PFC club my team can help you to go to next level by making your program more scientifically approachable and making you accountable.

Yo! Nice to meet you.
My question would be since there are so many platforms doing something similar, how will the pfc club differentiate? What’s something that you’re optimizing for which other platforms don’t provide?
Good luck. Tia.

Great and one of the most common question I get. One thing we are trying to fix in the industry is that customer centric approach. In my opinion and experience, if someone has paid us for “fat loss” it is our responsibility to make sure the customer doesn’t drop out or ghost the coach. The onus is on the coach. We really get behind the customers to make them achieve their goals. And that’s why so far our refund rate has been only 0.7%

I subscribed to your plans twice and dropped both the times. Didn't see much follow up from pfc side.

How did you build your followership on Twitter? What was your way of getting there? Is it the primary way you find new users for PFC? Or do you have to spend on ads?

So far we have spend only 20k INR on ads, failed miserably. Every founder I met advised me not to run ads or discounts. Rest all is organic followers .
I will do a separate ama on twitter follower growth but for now:
- I still tweet 20-30 times a day. Get into replies and make yourself show
- find a purpose. My purpose was “protein kidhar hai” and i really got into people’s eye by constantly asking them to increase their protein intake.
- be authentic, transparent, and not a troll.

Wouldn’t there be any effect on overall health due to increase in protein intake?

Hey Chirag, Have seen you a lot of times on Twitter.
Curious - what were you doing prior to PFC and what led you to build this? Is PFC focused on 1:1 personal training at home?

I used to shoot advertisements and weddings as cinematographer. It affected my health so much that in the process of fixing it, I became interested in coaching. Twitter helped me to become a freelance coach and I ended up coaching 3000 people alone over the period of 3.5 years. And then I expanded into a pvt ltd to serve the larger audience and fill some gaps in the industry

What’s the role of doctors in your organisation? And whats the average pay for them?
GigglyQuokka
PFC Club15mo
First lets understand why we have doctors onboard. Fitness and health is sometimes complicated and it requires doctors’ intervention. And the real fit body is when your mental health, sexual health and overall physical health are in sync, that’s why we have doctors, to help customers with single window solution of overall health and to help coaches whenever they are stuck.
Some doctors makes 4k some makes 1 lakh. It depends on requirements.

Interesting. So are they on consultant basis or on full-time employment?
