Online 1-on-1 Coaching

Your coach. Every training day. Wherever you are.

Fully coached remote strength training. Not a program you follow on your own.

You train anywhere. I read every session, review your form, and adjust what comes next.

THE DIFFERENCE

Most online coaching is a PDF with a payment plan.

You get a program. Maybe a check in form. Then you're alone with it.

And when something feels wrong on a Tuesday, there's nobody to ask.

That isn't coaching. It's a document.

Here's what actually happens with me.

DAILY COACHING

You train. I read it. The plan responds.

You open the app. Your session is already there. Every exercise has a video, written instructions, and my specific cues for that movement.

The session is built

Your weights are written in. The rest timer is set to what I want you resting for that exercise. Mobility at the start, stretching at the end.

You rate the work

You rate each exercise as you go. One to ten, ten being brutal. That takes two seconds and tells me more than a weekly summary ever could.

You tell me what happened

This felt heavy. Left shoulder felt off. Couldn't get the last two. The gym didn't have that machine.

I read every logged session and every comment. Questions get answered within 24 hours. I adjust upcoming sessions when something needs to change.

What comes next changes when it needs to.

That's the difference. Not a plan that ignores you. A plan that responds.

“I am located in a different state. I didn't have to show up at his gym. Everything happens so professionally through an easy app.”

“He was asking me for videos to check my posture and forms. He was as well sending me videos fixing my mistakes.”

HOW IT STARTS

First, we make sure this is actually right for you.

You apply. I read it personally and reach out within 24 hours to set up a call.

We go through your goals, your training history, what a typical week looks like, what you've tried before, what equipment you have access to, any aches or limitations that matter, what you need from coaching, and any questions you have.

Then I'll tell you honestly whether this is the right fit.

This level of coaching isn't for everyone. If I think it makes sense for you, I'll tell you why. If I think you'd be better served by something simpler or less expensive, I'll tell you that too. If we both decide it's a fit, you'll enroll, complete a deeper intake, and we'll book a kickoff call before your first season starts.

WHAT YOU GET

Coaching that stays with the week.

The program matters. So does what happens after you start running it.

Fully custom programming

Written for your body, your history, your goals, and the equipment you actually have. Not a template.

Unlimited form review

Send video. I send corrections in writing, voice, or video. Whatever gets it across fastest.

Unlimited messaging

Ask anything, any day. Questions get answered within 24 hours.

Adjustments when life moves

Travelling? Different gym? Limited equipment? Send me what's there and I adjust the week around it.

Check-ins that fit how you work

Some clients do best with a short weekly check-in built into their tracker. Others do better with ongoing messages, voice notes, or video calls as things come up. We use the rhythm that gives me the clearest picture and keeps the coaching useful.

Season kickoff calls

Before your first season starts, we use a kickoff call to set the direction. Every twelve weeks after that, we review what moved, what didn't, and what the next season needs to do.

THE SYSTEM

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.

We set the numbers together.

Strength, power, durability, and if something hurts, a pain score we watch over the season.

They get tracked. At week twelve everything gets retested, and the next season is built from what we learned.

Built in from day one

Mobility, conditioning, and durability work are part of the program from the start. Not bolted on later.

Week twelve is the point

By week twelve, we should be able to show exactly what changed in the areas we chose to work on: strength, power, capacity, movement, or specific weak links. Then the next season builds from those numbers.

PRICING

Online 1-on-1. Fully coached.

$750

Per four-week block.

Prefer the full season upfront? Prepay 12 weeks for $2,100 and save $150.

I ask you to commit to the full season.

Not with a contract. There's nothing to sign and nothing locking you in, because I don't want anyone here who doesn't want to be here.

The whole thing is built in twelve week seasons. Three blocks, each one setting up the next. Four weeks in you'll feel better. That isn't the point. The point is what week twelve looks like, and I can't get you there if we stop at block one.

So I'll take your word for it, and you can leave whenever you want.

Full refund guarantee

Complete your first four-week block, log every session, and stay in communication throughout. If you don't feel the difference, the block is refunded in full.

You risk four weeks of effort. I risk the rest.

Who this isn't for

If you want a program handed to you so you can run it alone, this isn't it. There are coaches who do that well and cost less.

If you want someone on your training every day, and you'll actually log the work and tell me the truth about your week, this works.
