Like HumanBetter You Better World

Our approach · Kothrud, Pune

Measure your progress beyond the scale.

Every Like Human client is assessed, coached, monitored and progressed according to their goals. Here is exactly how — including what our measurements can and can't tell you.

The coaching process

We don’t just give you workouts. We build your training plan.

Stage 01 of 05

Initial consultation

We start by understanding you — before any exercise is prescribed.

  • Training history
  • Goals and expectations
  • Lifestyle and exercise habits
  • Available training time
  • Previous injuries and relevant limitations
  • Relevant health considerations
  • Personal preferences

Body composition analysis

Look beyond the number on the scale.

Body weight alone can't tell you whether you're losing fat, gaining muscle, or simply holding more water today. Body composition measurements add that context.

Measures we can include

  • Body weight
  • Estimated body fat percentage
  • Estimated fat mass
  • Estimated lean mass
  • Skeletal muscle estimate
  • Waist circumference and selected measurements

Limitations, honestly

Bioelectrical impedance readings can be affected by hydration, food intake, recent exercise and other conditions. We use a consistent measurement routine and interpret results as trends, in context.

We use body composition to inform coaching decisions — not to judge anyone. A lower number isn’t automatically better, and no single measurement describes your health.

Waist92 cm90 cm88.5 cm-3.5 cm

Coach’s interpretation

Steady downward trend in estimated fat with muscle estimates holding — consistent with training adherence this block. Measured under the same morning conditions each time.

Next recommended action

Keep current nutrition targets; add a third lower-body strength exposure in the next block.

From findings to training decisions

How assessment results change your plan.

  • Exercise selection

    Movement findings decide which variations you start with — and which to build toward.

  • Load & volume

    Strength and tolerance baselines set where your training starts and how fast it progresses.

  • Conditioning

    Cardiovascular indicators guide intensity and how work duration increases.

  • Nutrition focus

    Body composition trends inform whether training and nutrition targets need adjusting.

  • Mobility work

    Specific restrictions get specific work — not a generic routine.

  • Reassessment timing

    We retest what matters for your goal, when it's useful — not on autopilot.

Training logs & progress tracking

Every session leaves a record.

Your coach records what you did and how you responded, so progress is visible rather than assumed — and next week's session is planned from real data.
  • Exercises performed
  • Sets and repetitions
  • Training loads
  • Relevant performance measures
  • Attendance and adherence
  • Selected fitness reassessments
  • Body composition, when relevant
  • Your feedback and recovery observations

Monthly progress reporting

Your progress. Documented. Understood. Used.

A realistic sample of a Like Human monthly report. It is illustrative — the figures are not from a real client.

Strong consistency this block. Lower-body strength is trending up; upper-back mobility still limits overhead positions.

HCoach's assessment

Improving
Squat depth and bracing; session attendance.
Challenging
Thoracic rotation and overhead reach.
Changing
Add two short mobility blocks per week; keep pressing below shoulder height for now.

INext month's plan

  1. 1.Progress trap-bar deadlift by small increments
  2. 2.Retest overhead reach in 4 weeks
  3. 3.Agreed: 7,000+ steps on non-training days

Questions

Assessment & tracking, answered.

What happens during a personal training assessment?
A conversation about your goals, history and any relevant considerations, then selected measures — for example movement quality, mobility, basic strength or endurance, cardiovascular indicators and body composition. Which ones depends on your goals, screening and suitability; not every client does every test.
How accurate is body composition analysis?
Bioelectrical impedance devices estimate body composition, and readings can shift with hydration, meals, recent exercise and other conditions. That's why we measure under consistent conditions and look at trends over time, alongside other measures — never a single reading in isolation.
Will I get a progress report every month?
Monthly progress reviews are a core part of how we coach. The depth and format of written reports depend on your package and are confirmed at your initial consultation.
Who can see my data?
Your assessment records, training logs and reports are private to you and your coaching team. They are never published on this website.
