Two ways to train.
One standard across both.
Whether we train together in person or work fully remote, the programming, the thinking, and the care behind your plan never change.
Hybrid Programming
In-person coaching is based in Duluth, Minnesota, where I'm watching every rep, giving real-time feedback, and adjusting on the fly. On the days you train on your own, you're not guessing. You have a complete program built for you. Exact training location is shared before the consultation.
This is in-person coaching, not just a written plan. Private 1:1 sessions where I'm in the room with you, coaching your technique and responding to how your body shows up that day. The programming for your non-session days is just as deliberate, keeping everything connected.
- Private 1:1 in-person sessions in Duluth (60 minutes)
- Real-time technique coaching and immediate form correction
- Adjustments based on daily readiness and how you're feeling
- Full custom programming for all non-session training days
- Weekly program adjustments based on your progress
- Video notes, feedback, and direct communication between sessions
Remote Performance
Best for experienced lifters, people outside Duluth, or anyone who prefers the structure of training solo with a real coach behind the plan.
Weekly adjustments, form checks, and a direct line of communication, not a chatbot. You get all the thinking of in-person coaching, delivered remotely. Remote coaching is available based on fit, schedule, and service availability.
- 4-week custom training blocks
- Weekly program adjustments based on your progress
- Video form reviews with specific, actionable feedback
- Direct communication for questions, changes, and check-ins
- Joint-friendly loading and phased progression
Every program is built on the same four principles.
The goal isn't your best month, it's your best decade. Programming is designed so you can sustain it, not recover from it.
Loading, selection, and progression are chosen to build you up, not wear you down. This matters most when training is modified around an existing limitation, after you've been cleared for exercise.
Your program cycles through phases, each with a clear purpose: foundation, capacity, strength, performance.
Sick kid, work trip, bad sleep week, flared-up shoulder, we adapt. Rigid plans fail. Flexible plans last.
Training is only part of it.
The other parts, nutrition, sleep, recovery, stress, determine what you get out of your training. 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
Will this still be working for you in ten years?
If the answer is no, it doesn't belong in your program. That's why I program for decades of training, not crash diets or max-effort grind.
The goal isn't a transformation photo. It's a life spent moving well.
