What busy professionals ask before starting coaching.

Fit & getting started

Who is this coaching built for?

Executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, and busy professionals who perform at a high level in their careers and want their health and physique to match. If you value expertise, structure, and accountability, and you're ready to execute, you're who I built this for.

Who is it not a good fit for?

If you're looking for a quick fix, a generic plan, or extreme rapid-weight-loss tactics, this isn't it. Coaching works for people who are ready to consistently follow the training, nutrition, communication, and accountability requirements of the program.

I've worked with trainers and used apps before. How is this different?

Most programs hand you workouts and leave the decisions to you. My job is to manage the whole strategy: training, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle. I evaluate your progress, make the necessary decisions, and hold you accountable. You focus on execution. I manage the strategy.

Do I need to live in Raleigh?

No. Coaching is delivered online, so you can work with me from anywhere.

I'm not in great shape right now. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Your plan is built around your current training experience, fitness level, and goals. Where you're starting is exactly what we build from.

What happens after I apply?

I personally review every application. If I believe coaching is a good fit, we schedule a private consultation to discuss your goals and determine whether Private or Executive coaching is right for you. If you enroll, you complete an intake and get set up in the PBS coaching app.

Time, travel & lifestyle

How much time will this take each week?

Your plan is built around the time you actually have, not an ideal schedule. We set training days and session length around your calendar so fitness fits into your life instead of becoming another full-time job.

I travel constantly. Will this still work?

Yes. Travel is planned for from the start, not treated as a disruption. Your strategy accounts for hotel gyms, airports, time zones, and demanding work periods, so you don't have to start over every time you come home.

What about business dinners, client events, and drinks?

They're part of real life, so we plan for them instead of pretending they won't happen. You'll have a strategy for restaurants, events, and social situations that keeps you on track without making you the difficult person at the table.

What if I have a bad week or fall off track?

It happens. The difference is you won't be starting over. We review what happened at your check-in, adjust the plan, and get you back on course.

I have a family and very little free time. Can I still make real progress?

Yes. Coaching is designed for people with competing demands. The plan accounts for your family responsibilities, schedule, sleep, and stress so it's something you can execute consistently.

Do I need a full gym?

Your training is built around the equipment you have access to, whether that's a commercial gym, a home setup, or a hotel gym on the road. Tell me what's available during intake and the plan reflects it.

How coaching works

How does online coaching work day to day?

Your training and nutrition plan is delivered through the PBS coaching app, where you track workouts and progress. You complete scheduled check-ins, I review your data, and I adjust your plan. You always know exactly what to do next.

How much access will I have to you?

Private Online Coaching includes weekly check-ins and a monthly 1-on-1 Zoom call. Executive Online Coaching adds a higher level of access: weekly executive performance reviews, two private strategy calls each month, and priority communication.

What's the difference between Private and Executive coaching?

Both are fully individualized. Private gives you a customized training, nutrition, and accountability system with consistent oversight. Executive is my highest-touch experience, with more access, proactive planning around your schedule and travel, and review of applicable health and performance data.

Will I get a meal plan?

You get a nutrition strategy built for your goals and your real environment, including how you eat at work, on the road, and at events. The goal is a system you can follow consistently, not a rigid plan that breaks the first time your schedule changes.

Do you work with bloodwork or wearable data?

Executive coaching includes review of applicable health and performance data. Coaching does not replace medical care, so anything medical stays with your physician.

I have a medical condition or take medication. Can I still be coached?

Share it during intake so your plan accounts for it. Coaching is not a substitute for medical advice, so check with your physician before starting a new program and keep them involved.

Do you coach women in perimenopause or menopause?

Yes. I coach women navigating midlife who want to preserve muscle, build strength, and manage body composition with an individualized approach. Learn more.

Results & investment

How fast will I see results?

It depends on your starting point, goals, and consistency, so I don't promise timelines. What I can promise is that your progress is measured, reviewed, and acted on, so the plan keeps working as your body changes.

What does coaching cost?

Private Online Coaching is $750/month, or $2,100 paid in full for 12 weeks. Executive Online Coaching is $1,050/month, or $3,000 paid in full for 12 weeks. Compare both side by side.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

Commitment terms, billing, and cancellation are covered during your consultation and in your coaching agreement before you enroll, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to.

Is my information kept private?

Yes. Your application, health information, and progress data stay between us. Discretion is part of the service. See the privacy policy.
