Train At Home Guide (Bodyweight Only)

You will be able to contact me primarily via email. For the weekly check-in, I communicate via the free video software, Loom, and encourage my clients to use it as well. The clients who are the most open and communicative always see the best results!

You will have a designated check-in day once per week.

I require pictures, measurements, weight, as well as other qualitative observations about your sleep, stress, hunger and satiety, and more.

Diet and training are all adjusted weekly (depending which service you choose) in Excel documents.

The coaching process should be collaborative between us, not just a one-way street. I will usually ask follow-up questions and prompt you to tell me about how the journey is going mentally with things like Non-Scale Victories, not just physically.

I will not write meal plans, as only Registered Dieticians are legally allowed to do so.

I use a variety of diet approaches, but we typically begin with a phase of tracking your intake to build awareness and nutritional knowledge. From there, depending on your goal, we may transition to targeting macronutrient ranges, otherwise known as flexible dieting, or we may transition away from tracking your intake and instead managing portion sizes and focusing on behavior change, moderation, and habit management.

My diet guidance will differ for each individual, since each client views food, diet, and making healthy lifestyle changes in a different way. I adapt accordingly to create the best avenue for long-term adherence and success for each individual I coach.

My approach to dieting is centered around making healthy lifestyle changes that will stick around, allowing you to maintain a healthy body composition and retain nutritional knowledge. The approach we use depends on what will be best for each client.

It will take about 3 months for you to see significant results, therefore my payment plans begin at 12 weeks. However, it is highly recommended to plan on working together for a minimum of 6 months or more, since my coaching is centered around long-term lifestyle changes.

I work with clients who are looking for a lifestyle change and are ready to commit for the long haul, not with those who are looking to just lose a few pounds for a special occasion in the short term.

Every plan I write comes with a strongly recommended supplement plan. This plan includes just the necessities you will need to see optimal results from following the program, such as a multivitamin, fish oil, or vitamin D supplement. I am partnered with a trustworthy local nutrition store that discounts all of my clients’ plans and ships nationwide (see About > Partners), so that I know my clients are getting the best quality product as well as the best value for their dollar.

I will provide you with several food lists that include great recommendations for what to shop for. The lists will break foods out into their macronutrient categories so you can learn what nutrients are in the foods you eat. Ultimately, you get to decide which foods you eat and no foods are technically “off limits.”
