How does online coaching work?
Online coaching means having your own personal trainer, without having to schedule time to see her face-to-face at a gym location (and at a fraction of the cost!). You’ll get customized workout programs created specifically for you and your goals. You’ll also get nutrition coaching where you’ll make changes one small – but powerful – habit at a time.
Add to this the ability to track your workouts, nutrition, and body stat progress, as well as personal support and accountability from me, and you’ll be set up to kick some serious ass.
We make use of a select few apps to keep in touch and track your workouts and nutrition, and we schedule regular coaching calls (on the phone, Skype or FB video messenger) to set new goals and tackle any challenges that might come up.
Why is online coaching more awesome than in-person training?
• Scheduling is a non-issue. You're not stuck with someone else's schedule or someone else's idea of what a training session should look like. We do what works for you.
• We can be much more flexible with your workout programs than a typical 60-minute gym session. I have clients who split their workouts into five 20-minute sessions per week, for example.
• Your results are my first priority. With online training, I can accommodate your specific needs, schedule, capability, and more. I can also incorporate more of my support and expertise than in a typical gym setting.
• You workout when and where you want, but still get the benefit of a structured program and ongoing support from a coach.
• You don't need to go to a gym, if you don't want to! Many of my clients train in their own homes (and you don't even need expensive equipment).
• You get better accountability and support. Rather than booking hour-long sessions at the gym each week, I can provide ongoing (and better!) support as you work toward your goals.
• It's cost effective. You're not paying a coach a high hourly rate (plus club overhead), so you can get better training at a fraction of the price online.
• Location is not a factor. You can work with a kick-ass coach who suits your needs from anywhere in the world!
What’s the difference between the 3 programs you offer?
My 3 programs are essentially different levels of coaching support. If you simply need a workout program and some accountability from a coach, the Healthy Selfie Program is perfect for you.
For both fitness and nutrition coaching (to make sure your diet is supporting your fitness goals), along with support and accountability and more personalized, one-on-one coaching, check out the Boost Program.
If you want go all-out for the most trainer support to help you skyrocket your health and fitness, then the Transformation Program is for you.
Who is this coaching for?
My coaching is for women over 40 and want to build a relationship with themselves. Most of my clients range between the ages of 30 and 60, and they ALL want to increase their strength, energy, confidence, and a healthy lifestyle. It’s especially for women who are committed to change and recognize the value of having a solid plan to follow, as well as the importance of accountability. My coaching is for you if you can make health and fitness one of your top three priorities in life, and you want to build health and fitness habits that last the rest of your life.
Who is this coaching NOT for?
My coaching is not for you if you’re not interested in being committed or building a sustainable relationship with self. It’s not for you if you’re looking for a “quick fix” health and fitness solution. It’s not for you if you’re not ready to put in the work it’ll take to reach your goals. My coaching is also not for you if you don’t want to be called out on your B.S., if necessary. And, I don’t train clients who want to compete in physique, bikini, or bodybuilding competitions.
Do I get a meal plan?
With support from me, you’ll make your own decisions about which foods are best for you, as well as when and how much of them to eat. We’ll work together to create healthy eating habits, and an effective “food architecture” (the environment that influences your food decisions).
I’m a newbie to this fitness thing. Will this work for me?
Yup! I work with lots of clients who were completely new to exercise and healthy eating when they started. (All of us were beginners at one point, right?)
I’m not a newbie to working out. Will this get me results?
Definitely! I work with clients of all experience levels (some with 30 or 40 years of experience).
People with a lot of experience often enjoy having a coach take care of their exercise and nutrition programming so they have more mental energy available to dedicate to other areas of their lives.
Do I need to join a gym?
Not if you don’t want to! With a select few pieces of equipment at home, you can reach your fitness goals without even leaving your house. I have clients who work out anywhere from their living rooms, to their own garage gyms and backyards, to community center gyms, to commercial gyms.
Do I need to purchase any equipment?
If you’re going to be working out primarily at home, you may need to purchase a few pieces of equipment (I’ll help you to choose). A $50 suspension trainer and a $25 set of resistance bands is an excellent place to start. If you’ll be working out at an established gym or community centre, you won’t need any additional equipment.
What kind of results can I expect?
With consistency and time, small actions add up to big results. If you’re ready to put in the required work, you can achieve a leaner, more sculpted physique in only 8-12 weeks! If you make health and fitness a lifelong commitment (and I encourage you to do so), you’ll make continuous progress, week after week, year after year.
What results have clients achieved?
Living a healthy lifestyle is a long-term commitment that will continue to reward you with results. Clients have achieved a wide range of health and fitness goals by working with me, including feeling energized and less tired; feeling more confident – both in and out of the gym; increasing strength, endurance, and flexibility; and expanding their health and fitness know-how.

How will I track progress?
There are many ways we track progress in my coaching programs, and we’ll choose something that suits you best. Options include: body measurements and photos, as well as tracking your workouts and strength progress -- all accessible from my BMI Fitness online app. Progress shows itself in some other great ways, too, like your clothes fitting differently, your sleep quality increasing, or your weekly grocery bags suddenly feeling lighter!
How often will I need to work out?
This is entirely up to you. We’ll create an individualized training program that fits your life and your goals. I have clients who work out for 30 minutes, 3 days a week, clients who train for 12 hours or more of training each week, and clients at every point in between. I’m here to help you create an effective plan, and hold you accountable to it.
How often can I contact you if I have questions?
I offer unlimited email and text, with all programs. I check e-mail twice a day, so I aim to respond within 12 hours. I typically respond between the hours of 9am and 7pm.
Am I going to need to give up my favorite foods?
One of my favorite questions. And my favorite answer is: Hell no. Any long-term nutrition plan that creates lifelong results should involve eating your favorite foods (in moderation, of course!) For example, I enjoy some of my absolute favorite food – pancakes – every weekend!
Why do I need a coach? Can’t I just read books and free online articles?
Let me start by saying that I’m so convinced of the benefits of having a coach that I have 3 of my own! (All for different things.) You may notice that many – if not most – of the highly successful people you know have coaches or mentors. The most lasting, meaningful, mind-blowing changes in our lives usually occur from having a real relationship with another human being.
We humans just aren’t wired to transform our lives by reading books or articles, or even taking classes. If you enjoy thinking about nutrition and fitness, by all means – read away! And, if you can get awesome results with these resources, all the power to you!
How is online coaching different from personal training?
Online coaching is a bit different from personal training. Working with a trainer at a gym is a great option for some people, but it doesn't work for everyone.
Online coaching is for the type of client who wants an effective and individualized program to follow, with the support and accountability of a coach, but doesn’t need to do it face to face (or can’t, for reasons such as location or schedule).
Online coaching is much more about ongoing accountability, goal-setting, nutrition and daily habits coaching, and helping you to improve your life outside the gym than in-person training.
Is there some sort of contract or long-term obligation I’ll need to sign?
Not at all. You choose how long you’d like to keep me as your coach. All 3 of my coaching programs are month-to-month commitments, and can be cancelled at any time without penalty.
