Private 1-on-1 Coaching
in Costa Mesa

One coach. One client.
One hour that's completely yours.

Private one on one strength coaching
on Harbor Blvd.
No crowds, no waiting on equipment,
no audience.

You already hold a standard
in the rest of your life.
Your work, your family,
the things you're responsible for.

This is for people who want their body to match that.

Some have trained for years. Some have never touched a barbell.

What matters is whether you'll run a system.

The first session.
60 minutes, and we train.

Not a sales call. Not a consultation where someone writes on a clipboard while you stand there.

The first six minutes we talk. What you're after, what's gotten in the way, what your week actually looks like.

Then we train. It starts with a mobility warm up, which is also how I read your mobility. Then a full session: some power, a squat, a hinge, a push, a pull, a carry, some core.

While you train, I'm reading your body.
How your squat looks under load.
What the left side does that the right side doesn't.
Where you compensate.
What's weak that shouldn't be.
Whether anything hurts.

No testing station. No printout.
You train, and I watch what your body tells me.
At the end I'll tell you what I saw and what I'd do about it.
Then you decide. And if I don't think I can get you where you want to go,
I'll tell you that instead.

I don't write your program on day one.

Most coaches hand you twelve weeks the moment you sign.
It looks impressive and it's mostly guessing.

Your first four weeks are me finding out how your body actually works.

Which rep ranges you respond to.
How much volume you can recover from. How you handle load.
Whether you do better pushed hard or pushed steady.
Where the imbalances are and how quickly they move.

Every decision gets explained to you as I make it.

Then I write your program.
Four weeks in, built on four weeks of evidence instead of a first impression.

Twelve week seasons. Three blocks. Nothing random.

Each season runs twelve weeks, split into three four week blocks.

Each block has a job.

Nothing gets repeated without a reason and nothing changes without one either.

At the start of a season we set your KPIs together.

Not goals in the vague sense.

Numbers we can measure and will.

They get tracked week by week.

When you hit a PR it gets flagged.

At week twelve everything gets retested, and you see exactly what moved and what didn't.

Strength is easy to measure. Most of what matters isn't.

Anyone can tell you your bench went up. Here's what else gets tracked, depending on what you're after.

Strength: squat, deadlift and bench three or five rep maxes. Trap bar. Weighted chin ups, or reps at bodyweight once you're past your first.

Power: box jump height. Broad jump distance. The stuff that goes first and quietest as you get older.

Durability: chin over bar hold. Farmer carry at bodyweight for distance. Hanging time. Copenhagen planks. Back extension holds. Deep squat hold and end range positions.

Imbalance: single leg isometric holds, timed, left against right. The gap matters more than the number.

Pain: if something hurts, we give it a score. Then we watch the score come down over the season.

I'm building your whole week, not your hour.

You get a PDF with your full program and the reasoning behind it.

You also get the tracker, the same one I use with you in the studio, with your workouts already built in.

Every set, every rep, every weight, every comment, in one place.

I check the tracker every Sunday.

I can see what you logged and what you didn't.

There's a check in and comment section, so if the week went sideways I know before you walk in.

Then we talk about it in your next session, and I adjust the following week around it.

Travelling? Hotel gym with three dumbbells and a bench?

Send me what's there and I'll scale the week to fit the equipment and the time you've got.

Questions between sessions get an answer within 24 hours.

Recurring four week membership. No contract. 30 day notice to cancel.

Two people, one hour, two separate programs. You train side by side, each running your own exercises, your own weights, your own progressions. It isn't a shared workout and it isn't a class. Couples, friends, colleagues, siblings. You bring your partner. I don't pair people up.

It's more than an hourly rate elsewhere, and it should be. You're not paying for the hour. You're paying for the program that covers your whole week, the adjustments when your week goes sideways, and someone whose job is knowing when to push you and when to pull you back. Most people hire a trainer for one hour a week. You hire a coach for your entire week.

If you don't see measurable strength, mobility or performance gains in 8 weeks, I add free sessions until you do.

Recurring four week membership. No contract. 30 day notice to cancel.

If you're looking for a six week change, one off sessions when you feel like it, or a plan you follow alone, we're probably not the right fit. If you want to get genuinely strong and stay that way, you'll like it here.

Sixty minutes in the studio. We train, we talk, and you find out whether this is right for you.

You bring your partner. I don't pair people up.

Couples, friends, colleagues, siblings.
