In general, a progressive loading program is my go to for any fitness pursuit. But of course the reality of it is people don’t like monotony. If you do, you’ll go a long way! If not, no worries. I try to do different things each session. As always, sessions are 1 on 1, completely private, and at your pace. Once your strength/movement foundation is established, we can specialize for aesthetics, strength, size, etc
Corrective/Preventative: As much as I love having clients go beast mode on day one, everyone has their limitations and issues, particularly postural ones. I will make sure you are properly prepared for each movement, meaning we don’t load your body until you have mastered basic stability and mobility movements. If you have spent alot of time behind a desk, you will likely not be as nimble and mobile as you were in your teens, so you will need to regain those lost aspects of your body’s ability gradually before attacking the weights aggressively.
Strength: These days would require maximal effort. Expect to heave and ho and rest longer than usual. Whether it be powerlifting or a new weighted carry, expect to grunt in glory and smash some records. The stronger you are, the more you have to work with and the faster you reach your goals.
Cardio/Conditioning: You will hate the tire, you will hate the sled, but they will keep loving you until you love them too. They’ll also make all the other pulling and pushing you do as accessories feel easy. Why? So you can do everything better and faster. Run longer, climbs stairs like a feather, outlast and outrun your kids, your dog, and hell, catch that elevator with confidence. Conditioning takes you everywhere!
Mobility/Recovery: If you ever have a rough day yesterday or a rough day today and still managed to make it, then you’ll be glad you came. First we’ll unwind any aches or stiffness you may have through stretching, foam rolling, active release, or just general mobility movements. There may be some discomfort, but they are the building blocks to walking out ten times better than when you walked in. I teach you to do all of this on your own so you can be more ready for future sessions and ready for life in general
Variety: Each day is new, but familiar, I’ll keep things as fresh as I can and of course take requests. Expect a mix of the above 3 and maybe some extra routines borrowed from my other fitness endeavors
Diet: Very simple, but not necessarily easy. I start by adding to the system (usually just greens), not removing in order to ease the changes in. This will of course require a commitment on your part and we won’t move forward until you have locked in the initial additions. I will never ask you to take any supplements of any form unless medically required and we’ll always stick with whole foods. Don’t worry too much about organic for now because they’re pricey and whole foods are still miles ahead of fast/processed foods. We’ll see what works and what doesn’t. Read here to get a better idea of my approach to see if it resonates with you.
Programming: Failing to plan is planning to fail. Things will get in the way, so we’ll work together to outline the best case and worse case scenarios. We won’t be going in blind or doing what we feel like. Let’s map it out and tread together. At your request I can write a downloadable program sheet to keep you on track
Communication: This is a relationship after all. On or off hours, you can always check in with me and I’ll be around to bug you with reminders and check ups as well.
NEW! Personalized Stat Page: Committed clients will receive a personal page on this site, tracking your own stats, to do list, program plans, and video walkthroughs of mobility/exercise techniques to keep you on track. As long as you have a web browsing device you will be able to access it at anytime from anywhere.
