A THOUGHTFUL PATH FORWARD
The process.
Built around you.
No one-size-fits-all workouts. No guessing where to start. From our first conversation to your next milestone, we’ll build a plan around your body, your goals, and the way you move.
Online and in-person personal training
01
Intro meeting
STEP 1 / THE PROCESS
A conversation, not a commitment.
We will start with an informal meeting to discuss your goals, past exercise experience, and any pain, injuries, or chronic conditions.
If we decide that we’re a good fit, you will fill out a New Client Questionnaire and we will conduct a few easy movement assessments to get the process started.
Your starting point is unique. That’s where we begin.
02
Assessments
STEP 2 / THE PROCESS
Understand your movement. Find your starting point.
All fitness programs should start with assessments. These are critical to my process and allow me to see any postural or movement impairments that need to be addressed. You may not even know that you have them. They may or may not cause you pain, or the pain may present in a completely different part of your body.
Even if you don’t have any pain, everyone has something that needs attention and correction—myself included. These movement assessments allow me to identify signs correlated with dysfunctional movement patterns, such as altered shoulder mobility, core strength, hip mobility, and/or ankle mobility.
I will compile the results from your assessment into a chart that I will share with you. This will become the roadmap for your training plan.
We look at how your body moves before deciding how to train it.
03
Follow-up meeting
STEP 3 / THE PROCESS
The why behind your plan.
We will schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss the assessment results and my recommendations, which can be done prior to our first training session.
The purpose of this meeting is to help you understand the reasons behind all of my recommendations detailed in your training plan, and our plan forward to help you meet your goals.
Clear recommendations. A shared understanding. A plan forward.
04
Workout plan
STEP 2 / THE PROCESS
Your body. Your goals. Your plan.
Whether you are brand new to training or you have been working out for years, this step is pretty much the same for everyone.
Your custom workout plan will include exercises that I recommend be avoided until optimal movement is restored, as well as the intervention protocol that will help restore optimal movement patterns. It will include foam rolling, stretching, and resistance training exercises and I will provide detailed instructions on how to perform each as we work together.
A plan built for your body, then practiced together.
05
Progression
STEP 5 / THE PROCESS
Keep building. Keep moving forward.
In order to see continued progress, you must apply progressive overload to your workouts. Progressive overload is a principle in strength training that involves gradually increasing the demand placed on the body to ensure continued adaptation.
I keep detailed records and notes from every session so we know exactly what to change next, and I am always available to offer guidance between sessions.
Thoughtful progression, with guidance along the way.
