Tanner Chidester Elite CEOs review: strong Trustpilot score, thin independent evidence
Elite CEOs is Tanner Chidester's coaching company. It sells low-cost courses (such as FB Ads Academy, often $7) and high-ticket coaching for business owners, which began with online fitness trainers. We read the Trustpilot profile, searched BBB, and read two Reddit threads and two YouTube reviews with comments.

Our verdict (editorial opinion)
We are withholding a verdict: the evidence is mixed and the independent first-hand accounts are few. Trustpilot is very positive (4.8 from 365 reviews). Reddit comments describe the $7 course as a “tripwire” for the full coaching offer and criticise the sales team; one YouTube buyer praises several courses. The coaching price is not published on any page we read.

What buyers and others report
About the allegations on this page. Statements from Reddit, Trustpilot or YouTube users are their own opinions or accounts. We quote or summarise them with a link and date; we have not verified them, and we do not present them as fact.
- YouTube, Matrimont, Dec 2022: a buyer says he started with a $7 product and “by the end of the thing I had actually bought like basically all of his courses”. He says “the Facebook ads course is very good” and rates Conversion Conversations highly, but finds the courses not very cohesive. He did not join the high-ticket coaching.
- r/FacebookAds, Feb 2022: a deleted account says “The 7 is a tripwire for his full service offer”. Another deleted account says the sales team is “ruthless” and adds “Horrible customer service.” Neither says what they bought.
- r/personaltraining, Dec 2024: the poster asks why ads moved from targeting trainers to all businesses; no one in the 19 replies describes joining the program.
- YouTube, Digital Marketing Reviews, Mar 2022: a commenter asks the reviewer “you did a review for something you didn't actually buy?”, so we did not rely on it.
- Trustpilot, 2026: recent reviews describe large revenue gains after coaching (one reviewer says from $100,000 to nearly $1 million a month). These are reviewers' own claims; we have not verified them.
Not enough third-party information to reach a full verdict
We looked for independent evidence and did not find enough to judge whether this product does what it says. Most of what is published about it comes from the vendor or from affiliates who earn a commission if you buy. Here is exactly what we checked and what was missing.
What we checked
- Trustpilot profile for eliteceos.com (365 reviews)
- BBB search: no profile found
- Reddit threads 1hjk7go (19 items) and shvxkg (12 items)
- Two YouTube reviews (one transcript, 4 comments)
What was missing
- Coaching price, contract and refund terms
- Independent first-hand accounts of the high-ticket coaching
- Any outcome data for clients
Claims that need corroboration before a fair verdict is possible
- Revenue results described in Trustpilot reviews
- Reddit criticisms of the sales team and support (anonymous, deleted accounts)
If you have bought this product, we would like to hear what you received, what you paid in total and whether a refund was honoured. Contact us. We will update this page when better evidence exists.
The seller's side
On Trustpilot the company describes itself as helping “businesses create high ticket offers that allow them to grow revenue and maximize time”, and it replies to all negative reviews. Many reviewers name individual coaches and credit them with clear roadmaps and accountability. The one independent YouTube buyer we found rated several courses as good value. We will add the company's terms if it sends them.
Our verdict
Mixed evidence; verdict withheld. The Trustpilot score is strong, but almost everything independent is about the cheap courses, not the coaching most people are sold. Before paying for coaching, ask for the price, contract and refund terms in writing.
What we like
- Very positive Trustpilot profile; replies to all negative reviews
- Low-cost courses rated useful by one buyer
- Specific coaching for existing businesses
What to watch out for
- Coaching price not published
- $7 courses lead into a high-ticket offer, per users
- Few independent accounts of the coaching
- Anonymous complaints about the sales team
