What exactly is Online Fitness Coaching??

What does online coaching feel like?

1. It feels like having an expert coach in your pocket! 

2. It takes all the guesswork out of your training, so that you feel fully confident every workout is moving you forward (it's really nice to feel a sense of purpose every time you train)

3. It creates peace of mind in the confusing world of fitness - you have an expert coach who is invested in making sure you meet your goals and providing the map to get you there with turn by turn directions. No more worrying if you are doing the right exercises, working hard enough, or just wasting your time and spinning your wheels (you're too busy for wasted time)

4. It allows you to shut your brain off a little bit (thank goodness) and just work hard. I do all the thinking, you execute the plan with awesome effort.

How does online coaching work?

1. Delivered via the app TrueCoach, which includes demo videos for all exercises, a chat function, ability to upload your own videos of all exercises for form check/questions and you can comment on any/all exercises with feedback/questions.

2. Number of workouts per week is totally up to you and I, no limit to how many sessions I'll program each week, as long as we agree on what's needed to achieve your specific goals.

3. Weekly Readiness checks are also incorporated. Every week in TrueCoach, there will be a short questionnaire for you to complete asking about stress, sleep, nutrition and anything happening in your life that we need to account for in training (travel, out of town guests, working overtime, etc. - I'll adjust the plan based one what you have going on in your life so you can just continue to work hard but not think too hard.
