FAQ

Q: What do you provide—and why would I need a personal trainer?

A: A gym membership can give you access to equipment. But access doesn’t equal transformation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not seeing results—or you're just not sure where to start—that’s where coaching comes in.

Working with me gives you more than a workout plan. You get strategy, structure, and support. I provide:

  • Expert guidance on proper movement, technique, and form

  • A smart, progressive training program that’s tailored to you

  • Reduced injury risk and more efficient, long-term results

  • Real-time accountability, motivation, and feedback

  • Answers to your questions, right when you need them

  • Encouragement without judgment

  • Access to a like-minded, supportive training community

Bottom line: you don’t need to do this alone—and you’ll get further when you don’t.

Q: Why is it important to work with a certified trainer?

A: Certification ensures your trainer has met a nationally recognized standard of education and is actively committed to ongoing learning. It’s your guarantee that the advice and programming you receive is safe, current, and grounded in real expertise.

I hold certifications through the American Council on Exercise (ACE)—an NCCA-accredited organization recognized for its excellence. I’ve also pursued additional specialties in orthopedic exercise, nutrition, and functional strength to better serve clients of all backgrounds. Because a good coach never stops learning—and your experience should reflect that.

Q: What’s the enrollment process like?

A: Everything starts with a consultation. This is where we talk about your current lifestyle, training history, movement limitations, and goals. From there, I’ll build a plan that meets you exactly where you are and gives you a clear path forward.

Once we agree on the best fit, we’ll complete the onboarding steps and get your first sessions scheduled. No cookie-cutter programs here—just a thoughtful process that sets you up to succeed.

Q: What happens in the first session?

A: Your first session is all about establishing a strong foundation. We’ll go through a few movement assessments, dial in on your range of motion and mechanics, and talk through how the results will shape the first phase of your training. It’s not about maxing out—it’s about starting with clarity and intention.

Q: What’s a typical training session like?

A: Early sessions focus on movement quality, communication, and building a shared language between coach and client. From there, we layer in challenge—based on your strength, stamina, and skill development. Some sessions will feel powerful, others more focused and technical. All are built with purpose, tailored to you, and designed to help you evolve in and out of the gym.

Q: Are there contracts?

A: There are no long-term contracts—just a shared agreement to show up and commit to the process. Training is offered in packages, which are non-refundable once purchased. This policy ensures consistency, accountability, and respect for the time and energy both of us bring to the table. If you have questions about scheduling or how packages work, we’ll cover that in your consultation.

Q: Do you provide nutritional guidance?

A: Yes. I’m certified through Precision Nutrition, a gold standard in evidence-based nutrition and coaching. Nutrition isn’t just about macros—it’s about habits, mindset, and sustainable change. You’ll get clear, practical advice tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and training demands.

Q: What’s your cancellation policy?

A: Life happens—and flexibility matters. I ask for 24 hours’ notice when possible. Emergencies are always understood, but if cancellations become frequent or impact progress, we’ll revisit your training agreement together. This will be clearly discussed in our consult.

Q: How do I get started?

A: Start with a conversation. [Click here] to book a free consult or send a message. Let me know a bit about your experience, your goals, and what you’re hoping to get out of coaching. And if someone sent you my way, don’t forget to mention it—I’d love to thank them.
