MindBodyFit Online Coaching
Let me tell you one simple truth about training:
The hardest person to train and coach is yourself.
Each and every day, I work with clients and athletes who want to get more out of their bodies.
But for whatever reason, they aren’t getting the results they expect.
Whether it’s a nagging injury that just won’t let them train at full speed, a program that doesn’t address their unique needs and goals, or a flat-out lack of accountability, there’s nothing worse than not making progress.
And I know this well, because while I’m not a competitive athlete or lifter anymore, I still want to see progress in my training.
I want to look and feel great, so that I can not only perform in the gym, but to simply enjoy life a bit more.
And trust me: I know what it feels like to be stuck in the mud, training, pushing, and grinding, with little (or no!) results to show for it.
The bottom line is this:
Everyone needs a coach.
If you want to get the most out of your body, then let me tell you a little bit about how online training works.
My Approach to Online Training
Online training is a way to work with a coach for literally anywhere in the world.
For instance, I have worked with clients from Japan, Bulgaria, the UK, and Australia in years past, and it’s no different than working someone from right here in the US.
In many ways, having an online coach is no different from having a coach work with you in real time.
I’m going to assess both your posture and movement, looking for issues that could possibly hold you back.
I’m going to write a customized program, based on your unique needs and goals.
And I’m going to coach you on your lifting technique, and help you improve your form on the various lifts.
The only downside to working with me online versus in person is that we won’t have the immediate feedback that you’d get from a live session.
Instead, we’ll rely on videos so that I can still review your technique and give you things to work on from week-to-week.
But consider how valuable it would be to have someone objective writing your programs?
If you’re serious about getting more out of your body, then let’s talk about how you can get started.

So you’re interested in working together?
Awesome!
Here are the steps we need to take to make that happen….
Step #1 – Fill Out an Application
The first step is to fill out an online training application. I have a steady stream of clients and athletes who are interested in working together, so this gives me a little bit more information about you and what you want to get out of working together.
If you’re interested in getting started, please start by filling out the form as soon as possible.
Step #2 – The Consultation
Once I’ve reviewed your application, we will set-up a brief consultation via e-mail, Skype or phone to further discuss your background, needs and goals.
In this consultation, it’s my job to make sure that I’m a good fit for you as a coach. While I work with clients and athletes of all shapes and sizes, and with widely different goals, my job is to make sure you that you find the best possible coach, whether it’s myself or someone else.
Step #3 – The Start-up Process
If we make the decision to work together, the final step will be getting you all set-up. This will include:
Goal setting for the time we work together,
Posture pictures,
Movement videos, and
Agreeing upon a timeline to work together. I will take clients for as little as 3 months at a time, but I really prefer 6-month and annual clients as the results are far superior.
My services range in price from $449 per month (3-month agreement) to $349 per month (12-month agreement). While some may think of this as a bit pricey, you have to think about the cost of not getting the results.
What does it cost you in terms of your body image, your confidence, etc., if you continue to train without seeing results?
Quite simply, investing in online coaching is an investment in yourself.
Once we’re up and running, the last piece is our ongoing communication.
Step #4 – Weekly Check-ins
Once we’re up and running, the final piece of the puzzle is communicating on a weekly basis.
What I’ve found over the last 11 years of doing this is that a weekly check-in process works best.
If you check-in more frequently, eventually it becomes burdensome and you’re less likely to stick with the program.
And on the flip side, if you check in less often you’re more likely to fall off the wagon, or not get the kind of results you’d expect.
As such, every week we’ll check in to review form, see how the program is going, and make sure things are on the up and up.
