Consultation FAQ’s
How is the consultation held?
These are Zoom video calls that last for 30 minutes.
Does it cost anything?
No, it is completely free!
What is the result of the consultation?
The purpose is not only to establish your health history and to explore what’s keeping you stuck, but also to provide a brief description of the particular approach that I would use with you to help you achieve your goals. I also explain pricing and payment plans, as well as how the training app works.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No, it’s just a conversation. To sign up for the Zoom call you’ll fill out a questionnaire to tell me more about yourself, but that’s it.
What kind of results can I expect if I sign up for a coaching plan?
Check out my testimonials for what clients achieve in a coaching relationship with me.
What is the potential cost of a coaching plan?
It varies, but is comparable to talk therapy, massage, or a boutique gym membership. When you start coaching with me, you are getting completely personalized attention, workouts, and nutrition assignments.
What are your credentials?
I am a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I also hold specialty certifications in Nutrition, Women’s Fitness, Weight Loss, and Physique and Bodybuilding.
I’m confused about online training – how does it work?
I give you workouts and nutrition assignments to complete (via my app), and we check in on your progress frequently using unlimited messaging in the app. Periodically (most of the time, every two weeks) we do Zoom calls to troubleshoot and improve what you’re doing. We track results and gradually phase out Zoom calls as your results and habits become more solid. It’s effective, convenient, and completely personalized.
I’m a complete beginner / extremely advanced. Does online training work for me?
Online training isn’t for everyone, but I often find it has more to do with personality than with fitness level. If you are good at following through on instructions and you like having the accountability of me checking in on you frequently, you will do great with online training whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced gym goer!
I don’t have a gym membership. Will this work for me?
I write at-home workouts for over half of my clients. Home workouts are very effective!
What if I have a unique health condition or limitation?
I work around many chronic conditions and injuries with my clients. Let’s talk!
I am working on another goal at the same time (getting pregnant, running a marathon, going back to school, etc.). Is this a good time to get started with coaching?
It depends! Let’s talk and see what your lifestyle is like at the moment – and how your goals match up!
I am in perimenopause/menopause – can I still get good results?
Absolutely! About half of my clients are 50+ and you are in good company!
I am taking a GLP-1 – do you work with clients on weight loss medications?
Yes, currently about 10% of my clients work with their physician to incorporate GLP-1’s into their wellness journey. I support clients in maximizing results and minimizing downsides/side effects.
I am struggling with (or recovering from) an eating disorder – can I still do a free consultation?
You can absolutely do a free consultation, but we need to assess where you are in your recovery and explore possible referrals. If you are in long-term stable recovery and are physically healthy, we can discuss what kind of coaching option would be right for you.
