Frequently asked questions

Great question!  Regardless of which route you take with me (online, 1:1, hybrid), we’ll work together to create some concrete training goals to work towards.  From there, I’ll create your programming and tailor it to what you want to get out of training.  More detail than that can be hard to give since each athlete’s goals and performance levels are unique to them.

Some of my athletes enjoy being more independent than others, but still like the 1:1 attention to make sure that everything is operating smoothly.  With this, you and I would only meet once a week and the other 2 or 3 workouts you’d do on your own.  This is usually easier for those with busy schedules or people who enjoy training alone.

No, nutrition coaching is a separate service.  It would be a disservice to both you and I if I were to take some of your training time to talk about nutrition.  With nutrition coaching you’d have a completely separate meeting where we outline goals and work on everything collaboratively.  We can talk general nutrition stuff during the session, but for it to be proper coaching, it’d have to be an entire focus in and of itself.

Depending on the route you pick, we can either meet / talk on the phone once a week or every other week.  During your nutrition coaching sessions, you and I work collaboratively to see how we can improve your nutritional circle of habits.  That’s a fancy term for your lifestyle and what you eat.  We create small concrete goals that we stack over time (habit stacking) and slowly allow the change to come along.  We let life dictate where we can grow from there so the goals are more organic.  Eventually we’ll have you working with a diet lifestyle that fits you and gets you where you want to go!

Absolutely not.  I’m not a registered dietician, so I can’t legally tell you what to eat – and to be frank, I wouldn’t if I could.  Why give you a fish when I could teach you how to fish?  I will never tell you to eat one food and not another.

I’ve trained people ranging from former college basketball players and martial artists in their 70s to teenage boys with ASD and adults confined to a wheelchair with CP and intellectual disability.  The only reason I wouldn’t work with someone is because they aren’t giving it their all.
