Question 4

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

My cancellation policy is quite simple: for in-person sessions, I kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This helps me manage my schedule and ensure I can offer your spot to someone else. If I receive less than 24 hours' notice, I may need to charge for the session.

For online sessions, you’re welcome to cancel or reschedule at any time - there’s no penalty. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to supporting you on your fitness journey!

Question 5

What equipment will I need to participate in your programs?

Accepted Answer

To effectively train for any of the programs, a selection of functional fitness equipment is essential to develop endurance, strength, and speed. Key items include a rowing machine for cardiovascular conditioning, a ski erg or air bike to enhance aerobic capacity, kettlebells for dynamic strength movements, sandbags or medicine balls for weighted carries and throws, a sled for pushing and pulling exercises, and wall balls for explosive power training.

In addition to this equipment, fundamental compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses will be incorporated into the training. We will also focus on power cleans and other explosive movements to maximize functional strength and power. For optimal results, access to a traditional gym setting with lifting platforms and barbells is highly recommended, as it provides the ideal environment for performing these exercises safely and effectively.

Having appropriate footwear, such as running shoes suited for both indoor and outdoor use, is vital since the program includes running segments. Our coaching approach ensures proper equipment use, aiming to maximize results while minimizing injury risk. This comprehensive setup will support your training goals and promote safe, effective progress.

Question 6

I have an injury, can I sign up?

Accepted Answer

If you have an injury, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider or a qualified medical professional before starting any new training program. Once you have clearance to exercise, you can certainly consider signing up, but it’s essential to inform your coach about your injury.

Our coaching approach emphasizes safety and personalized modifications, ensuring that your training is tailored to accommodate your injury and prevent further harm. We will work closely with you to adapt exercises and intensity levels as needed, focusing on rehabilitation and gradual progress. Your health and safety are our top priorities, so with proper guidance and modifications, you can still participate and work towards your fitness goals.

Question 7

What happens during the first in-person personal training session?

Accepted Answer

During our first personal training session, I focus on getting to know you, your goals, and your current fitness level. We’ll start with a friendly conversation to understand your motivations, any injuries or limitations, and what you hope to achieve. This helps me tailor the program specifically to your needs.

Next, I’ll guide you through some initial assessments - such as basic movement tests, strength, and flexibility - to evaluate your starting point. This allows us to identify areas of focus and ensure exercises are suitable and safe for you.

Finally, we’ll go through a few sample exercises and introduce you to the equipment, explaining proper techniques and form. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your personalized plan, and I’ll provide guidance on how to continue progressing toward your goals. It’s all about setting a strong foundation and making sure you feel confident and motivated to start your fitness journey.

Question 8

Do you require a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

No, all of my in-person and online programs are billed on a flexible, month-to-month basis with no lock-in contracts.
