STRENGTH
Approach

Three ways to train.
One standard across all of them.

Whether we train together in person, mix it up hybrid, or work fully remote, the programming, the thinking, and the care behind your plan never change.

01 / In-Person

In-Person Coaching

Private 1:1 sessions in Duluth

Best for clients who want direct eyes on every rep, immediate technique correction, and the accountability of a standing appointment.

I adjust the session in real time based on how your body shows up that day, stiff, sore, fresh, tired, anything. You get a coach who's watching, not just writing.

  • Private 1:1 sessions (60 minutes)
  • Immediate technique correction and feedback
  • Adjustments based on daily readiness and pain
  • Joint-friendly loading strategies
  • Progressive programming designed around your history
02 / Hybrid

Hybrid Coaching

In-person + full programming

Best for committed clients who want the benefit of in-person coaching without a full in-person schedule.

You get the direct feedback on our training days, and a complete plan for the rest of your week, so you're never guessing what to do next.

  • Scheduled in-person sessions
  • Full programming for non-session days
  • Weekly program adjustments
  • Technique notes, videos, and feedback between sessions
  • A complete training ecosystem
03 / Remote

Remote Performance

Fully custom programming, worldwide

Best for experienced lifters, people outside Duluth, or anyone who prefers the structure of training solo with a real coach behind the plan.

You get weekly adjustments, form checks, and a direct line of communication, not an app with a chatbot.

  • 4-week custom training blocks
  • Weekly program adjustments based on your progress
  • Video form reviews with specific feedback
  • Direct communication for questions, changes, and check-ins
  • All the thinking of in-person coaching, delivered remotely
Programming Philosophy

Every program is built on the same four principles.

Longevity First

The goal isn't your best month, it's your best decade. Programming is designed so you can sustain it, not recover from it.

Joint-Friendly by Design

Loading strategies, exercise selection, and progression are chosen to build you up, not wear you down. Especially important for clients managing old injuries.

Phased, Not Flat

Your program isn't the same thing forever. It cycles through phases, foundation, capacity, strength, performance, each with a clear purpose.

Adapted to Reality

Sick kid, work trip, bad sleep week, flared-up shoulder, we adapt. Rigid plans fail. Flexible plans last.

Lifestyle Support

Habits & Recovery

Training is only part of it.

The other parts, nutrition, sleep, recovery, stress, determine whether your training actually works. Here's what I provide:

  • Nutritional education built around performance, not punishment
  • Practical habit-building frameworks that fit your real schedule
  • Sleep and recovery guidance to support what you're doing in the gym
  • Straightforward answers, not fad-diet noise

I'm not a registered dietitian. I don't give medical advice. But I've been coaching the lifestyle side of this for a long time, and the results speak for themselves.

The Long Game

Will this still be working for you in ten years?

Everything I do comes back to that question. If the answer is no, it doesn't belong in your program.

That's why I don't coach crash diets. I don't coach grinders. I don't coach max-effort all the time. I coach sustainable strength, intelligent progression, and training that earns its place in a real adult's life.

The goal isn't a transformation photo. The goal is a life spent moving well.

Your Move

Find the right fit.

Start with the intake, and we'll figure out together which format is right for you.
