I don’t agree with Sean(Stephen) Cole’s personal beliefs on natural health. At times, the things he has said to me bordered on quackery. I couldn’t find anything to reliably back up his claims. I would suggest avoiding him. Below is what I have experienced working with this individual. Unprofessional Behaviors — — — — — — — — — — — — — Excessive tardiness –Not showing up for sessions and not giving advance notice. — Changing days of operations from 7 days a week to 3 and not providing refunds. –Letting his personal life affect training sessions. His Health Philosophy — — — — — — — — — — — – — According to Mr. Cole, the female menstrual cycle is unnatural and a sign of disease and must be eradicated by implementing a juice fast indefinitely until the cycle stops. –African-Americans, Caucasians, Latinos, Asians, etc. are all different species of animal, thus cannot eat the same foods. I will let you guess who is considered human. — Women are to blame for male impotence. Unhealthy women can infect the male through intercourse and make him sterile. — All diseases(especially cancer) can be eradicated through a stringent juice fasts.
— All inflammation and injury is caused by dairy consumption. –Milk is actually mucus from the mucus membrane and not a secretion from the mammary glands of mammals. — Tofu is made from plastic not soybeans. Disturbing Behaviors — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — - — Asking for sensitive medical information. — Requesting NUDE photographs repeatedly(allegedly for before and after pics). –Reading client’s emails sent to him aloud to other clients and gossiping about clients to other personal trainers. –Giving«special» teas that can interact allegedly fatally with pharmaceuticals and not notifying the client. He does this as a test to see if you are following his advice. –Making fun of people — Demanding clients not tell anyone(friends, family and especially medical professionals) about his training methodologies. — Demanding isolation(not talking to or receiving visits) from friends and family during the detox phase of his diet program. –Mr. Cole also engages in inappropriate rants during client sessions. It is almost like he lacks self-control. I believe this man to be a fraud and extremely unprofessional.
