Tanner Wiley fitness review: I had to ask him for an agreement

My opinion

Tanner Wiley sells himself as a fitness guy and a coach. I am a client who paid him $130 through Zelle. This page is my opinion of that experience, written anonymously. It is not a court finding, and it is not a claim about every person who has ever hired him. It is what happened to me, and what I think of it.

In my opinion, Tanner Wiley scammed me. I say that because of the specific things he did, not because I dislike his personality. He took $130 through Zelle, did not communicate, had no agreement until I asked him to email one, blamed me, and never assessed me. I asked, on a treadmill next to him, how to improve my physique and which muscles I needed for a more well-rounded body. He handed me two subpar pictures as if that were “coaching”.

Two generated pictures are not a coach. A coach talks to you, learns your situation, and stays in contact. That never happened.

He would not take a card

I tried to pay with a card. Tanner Wiley did not accept a card. The payment he would take was Zelle. I paid him $130 that way.

I thought it was weird when he used Zelle. I believe he wanted Zelle from the start, instead of actually delivering the coaching I asked for.

There was no agreement until I asked

Tanner Wiley did not give me an agreement at the start. I had to ask him to email me one. On May 29, 2026, he replied to that request. The message was about a waiver form and billing info.

What he sent was a Wiley Fitness “Personal Training Liability Waiver & Informed Consent Agreement.” The client lines were blank: name, date of birth, phone, email, the date signed, and the client signature. He filled in the representative line. The initials are there, the printed name is Tanner Wiley, and the date is 5/29/2026.

In the same email he wrote two prices. A personal training session was $50, for about 60 to 90 minutes. A monthly package was $400, paid in full before the month, which he said would reserve a schedule and a place in Wiley Fitness programming. I had already paid him $130 through Zelle. That amount is not the $50 session and it is not the $400 month.

The document is a liability waiver. It talks about assumption of risk, a medical disclaimer, a release of liability, and no guaranteed results. It is not a training plan. It does not describe sessions he would actually run with me. It does not mention the two AI-generated images. After I raised what I was owed, he blamed me.

Onboarding was horrible, and communication was missing

A coaching relationship starts with onboarding. Someone should tell you how it works, what happens next, and how you reach them. Tanner Wiley’s onboarding was horrible. It lacked communication. I was not brought into a program. I was left without the contact that coaching requires.

Fitness coaching is not a file you download and disappear. It depends on questions, answers, and follow-up. Without communication, there is no way to know a client’s schedule, limits, equipment, or whether anything is working. Silence is not a method. In my experience, silence is what I got.

I am not describing a slow reply or a missed message. I am describing onboarding that never became a working relationship. The absence of communication was the experience.

After I had paid him, and before I had raised any issue, I went up to him in the gym just to say hi. He was openly hostile. He told me I did not know how to communicate.

That did not match the last text I had from him. He had taken two days to get back to me. The message was not a question. It was an excuse for the delay. This is what he sent, Friday at 7:23 AM:

Hey bro ! Sorry about the delay , will have plans over today. Been a crazy week with other clients and training In person

What I asked for on the “sales call”

The “sales call” was the two of us walking on treadmills, right next to each other. I specifically asked him about coaching on how to improve my physique, and what muscles I would need to have a more well-rounded body.

I never got any kind of assessment that was actually tailored to me. Nobody looked at my body and answered that question. I got the two subpar pictures below.

The only delivery was these two graphics

These are the only things Tanner Wiley gave me: a Wiley Fitness 6-day training split, and a meal plan. My name has been removed from the meal plan. They do not answer what I asked on that treadmill. In my opinion they are subpar, and they are not an assessment tailored to me.

An image is not a plan I can train with. It does not assess me. It does not adjust when something hurts. It does not answer a question. Calling two AI-generated images “coaching” does not make them coaching. In my opinion, it shows how little of the actual service was provided.

I expected a coach. I received two pictures generated by software, a blank liability waiver I had to ask for, blame directed at me, and onboarding that never included real communication. That is the whole of what I got.

Why this page exists

I bought this domain so that a person searching for Tanner Wiley reviews can read a firsthand account before they pay him. I am posting as Anonymous. My name is not the point. The point is the experience: $130 paid through Zelle, no agreement until I asked, a blank liability waiver in reply, blame shifted onto me, horrible onboarding, and two AI-generated images.

I am one client. If your experience was different, this page does not erase it. If you are about to pay for his coaching, I want you to see what fulfillment looked like when it was my turn.

My opinion is that Tanner Wiley did not want to fulfill his obligations. The refusal, the blame, the missing communication, and the substitute of two generated images are why I believe that.
