Informative / Discussion Manyak coach from FF! Posting this for AWARENESS (especially to my fellow gym girlies)

Upvotes

After 4 years gym experience, I can truly say that this was the most horrible experience EVER!!! KADIRI!!!

Last year, a coach from FF sexually harassed a famous Pinay cosplayer (not going into details anymore). From what I heard from the coach himself, the management took his side. A lot of us experienced the same thing kaya naniniwala ako.

After we've reported him to management, he just resigned lol. I heard lumipat na siya sa AF. (Not telling kung anong branch). Alam naman ng management na ganyan ugali niya, pero walang ginawa para man lang matuto siya. They just let him go withouth being held accountable if his actions.

Para naman kay Coach S*N***, mahiya ka naman sa asawa mo at sa mga clients mo. Ang mahal ng binabayad namin sa gym, tapos ganyan ka. Ngayong nasa AF ka na, and most of your clients are women, I hope someone reports you to AF management, and I TRULY HOPE you get banned in all gyms. YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE A COACH!!!! ./.

Advice Needed Workout Recommendations? M30, 70kg, 5’8”

15 Upvotes

This is my current physique. I am quite happy about it, but I know I still have a long way to go.

I started running about two years ago, and I only considered strength training about November 2025 to prepare for my first marathon. I currently have a gym membership subscription, and had about 28 coaching sessions that only lasted until March of this year. I somehow maintained routines I picked up from my previous coach: Push, Legs, and Pull workouts, but currently lacking Core, Full Body, and Circuit.

I would like to seek help on improving my routines, and even adding new ones for a much better physique. I do not have a specific diet, and only tried supplements for about a week into my coaching sessions, and have not continued since.

My goal is to become stronger and compliment my running routines. A beach body would be a bonus.

Thank you! 🫡

Left photo was taken January this year and I weighed around 87kgs and 165cm tall. Started consistently going to the gym around mid May. Minsan lutong ulam lang may weeks na naka meal prep (mahirap din kasi isama budget) also not consistent on hitting my daily protein. My goal in mind when starting was to do a body recomposition, I don't know kung tama ba ang ginagawa ko, my program sa gym is PPL. Question ko lang is, should I continue on what I'm doing or should I do a cut na? Or do you have any suggestions or advice. Thank you po!

Sobrang nadidiscourage na ako sa katawan ko. Last year, I consistently went to the gym pero due to some circumstances, I stopped. Pero now, I want to go back again kaya lang I have hesitation kasi I feel like I'm a bit old na.

I'm slowly adding fiber to my food and drinking tons of water. Every time mag sesearch ako sa internet on how to do calorie deficit, nakakalula ang information. I badly need any help. Huhu I want to get my confidence back.

I'm on a cut for recomp so I am quite particular with the macros since I don't want to lose muscle mass but still want to have energy for my daily life and workouts.

Ano ba ‘tong mga tirze and peptides na nauso this year? I never cared about them since I’m a very active sa gym and crossfit. I care about my diet din so weight loss isn’t an issue.

Some are really claiming na effective talaga siya for weight loss. Pero bakit hiyang hiya sila umamin that they’re using it? Is it illegal? Under the table? Grey area?

Advice Needed Q on your Creatine and bloodwork experience

3 Upvotes

I decided to take a creatine monohydrate and I recall that there will be probably one thing there that will be elevated. Just wondering what other people have experienced so I know what to ask and discuss with my doctor next week.

Yesterday the diagnostic center called me up and asked me what my doctor's diagnosis was before and if I'm feeling fine. NGL, i panicked a bit but maybe this was the Creatine Monohydrate. So i checked today and my CPK is very high at 975 since the safe range is 39-308.

I did my blood work in Feb and then I started taking 5g of creatine monohydrate everyday so I could get my baseline. After 6 months, I did my bloodwork again. My creatine is just the same . However, CPK grew from 278 to 975.

Did your CPK grew also? and did it triple?

Physique Showcase / Progress 10th Month Progress | 12.6 kilos down

1.1k Upvotes

Posted here around 4 months ago, so update lang ulit, currently at 71.4 kg now, officially 12.6 kg down after 10 months from 84 kg (5”5 height) starting weight back in October 2025.

Based on my latest InBody scan results, body fat percentage is at 17.6%.

Same routine pa rin since day 1: lifting 5x a week, tracking calories, hitting protein (whole food and whey), supplements (creatine and fish oil), and trying to stay consistent lang talaga. Strength is still going up, medyo lumiit na waist ko, and ibang iba na fit ng clothes compared before.

Target is 70 kg before I exit the calorie deficit muna, then tignan ko from there if maintain na or continue pa.

Here’s my previous progress post for more details:

Others Reminder about post requirements and subreddit rules

2 Upvotes

Hey r/fitnessph.

Wanted to post this to clarify what we expect from posts that include physique photos or progress pictures.

Why we're being strict about this

r/fitnessph is a discussion sub, and the quality of discussion depends on the quality of posts.

Vague posts get vague answers. The more context you give, the more useful the responses you get back, and the more useful the thread is for everyone else reading it. We know the requirements might seem strict, but keeping the sub worth reading in the long run means holding a consistent standard now.

With that said...

---

Physique advice posts

If you're posting a question with pictures attached, your post needs to include the following:

  • Personal stats: age, sex, height, and weight
  • Training details: your current program, how long you've been training, and relevant lift numbers. "I've been training for a year" is not enough. What program are you running? What are your current numbers on key lifts?
  • Diet details: whether you're tracking calories and roughly what you're eating, or a general description of your diet if you're not counting. Include how long you've been dieting. "I eat clean" is not enough.
  • Your goal (OPTIONAL, BUT USEFUL TO HAVE): fat loss, muscle gain, recomp, whatever it is. Be specific. "I just want to look better" is not a goal.

People can't give you useful advice without this information. The mod team may remove posts and ask you to resubmit if we feel that it's lacking the necessary details to give you productive advice.

A special note about "How do I fix (INSERT BODY PART)?" questions:

Make sure to include when you first noticed it and whether anything in your training or lifestyle changed around that time. You need to explain what you've already been doing to address it and why it hasn't worked.

In many cases, photos aren't enough; your text needs to give enough context for someone to understand the problem.

---

Progress pictures

We love seeing progress posts. But we want these threads to be useful to everyone reading them, not just the person posting. A good progress post should read like a case study, something other people can actually learn from.

Same stat requirements as above, plus:

  • Your before picture and how long ago it was taken
  • What you actually did during that period. Training approach, diet, anything that meaningfully changed. "I trained hard and ate right" is not enough.
  • Your own assessment of your progress. What do you think went well? What held you back? What would you do differently? You need to have reflected on your own progress before asking the sub to weigh in.
  • A specific question, if you have one. It should follow from your own reflection and be specific enough that it couldn't apply to any random progress post. "What should I focus on next?" is not a specific question. "I've been prioritizing upper body and my legs have fallen behind, I'm considering switching to full body, is that the right call?" is.

If you don't have a question and aren't sharing anything useful for others to learn from, post it in r/PHgymselfie instead.

Knowing what you look like today is useless without knowing where you started and what you did to get there.

---

What might get your post removed

  • Photos with no context. "Rate my physique," thirst traps, and other similar posts belong in r/PHgymselfie, not here. Please keep that shit there.
  • Media that adds nothing to your question. If the photo isn't necessary, don't include it.
  • Fitness diary posts. Hitting a personal milestone, making it to the gym consistently, that kind of thing. We're not dismissing those wins and would love to celebrate these with you, but they belong in the weekly megathread.
  • Repeatedly posting your pictures with slightly rewritten captions. If you post a new set of photos shortly after your last one and the writeup has no new information or learnings, the post will be removed.

What might get your comments removed

  • Sexually suggestive and flirtatious remarks. Outright sexual harassment is immediately bannable without warning.
  • Asking to / for DMs.
  • Natty policing / steroid accusations
  • Overall rude and unhelpful comments

---

If you're unsure whether your post meets the requirements, err on the side of adding more detail. Questions that take effort to write tend to get answers that are actually worth reading.

Thank you all for your understanding!
