Most of getting a six-pack is losing weight. What value-add do you provide that counting my calories myself on a free app doesn't do? MyFitnessPal is free.

Agreed that a calorie deficit + regular exercise + good sleep + managing stress is the recipe for a six-pack -- and indeed you can do it yourself!

In a similar vein, the resources to learn how to code are freely available online. Instead of going to a bootcamp, one could learn on their own (and indeed there are bootcamps that put up their whole curriculum online for free, and it's exactly the same as their paid in-person version).

In practice though, it's not so easy. It takes a lot of willpower and discipline to stick with both a weight loss program and learning how to code. Being put in a structured environment, with other people working towards the same goal, and getting personalized coaching when stuck can make the difference for those who have tried in the past to do it on their own.

That's what we provide!
