My coaching philosophy is that first and foremost to make the clients goals my goals. My philosophy is centered around personalized plans that focus on keeping clients goals number one while putting equal emphasis on keeping them safe and avoiding injury. Short cuts or higher risk training methods are not something I do. My coaching is more lifestyle centered than “bucket list” coaching. So during our interview process I will be very honest about whether I think your goals are realistic in the time frames you present. I will error on the side of slower and safer rather than faster and more recluse. I also put extra emphasis on having a supportive network around my clients so if family and friends are not supportive I may not be the right coach for the you. Last, I strive to use the best scientific methods and tools to help the client meet their goals.
