Not necessarily, but you do need a solid foundation and a willingness to be coachable. If you’re willing to strength train consistently and follow a structured plan, I can meet you where you are, whether you’re building the basics or breaking through a plateau.

If you’re looking for quick fixes, “detoxes,” or random workouts, this probably isn’t the right fit.

Yes. I coach plenty of women over 40, and the approach still works.

The main requirement isn’t your age. It’s consistency and a plan that’s built for your body and your lifestyle. If you’re over 40 and feeling “stuck,” that’s exactly what coaching is for.

Totally fair, and honestly, being busy is the norm for most of my clients.

My coaching isn’t built for people with unlimited time. It’s built to get you results with a plan that fits your real schedule.

If your schedule is chaotic, we plan for that.

We’ll build “non-negotiables” (the few things that matter most) and a backup plan for busy weeks so you don’t fall into the all-or-nothing cycle.

If you can commit to a few focused sessions, a simple nutrition structure, and honest communication, you have enough time to be successful here.

Communication is simple, consistent, and focused on keeping you moving forward.

Here’s what it looks like:

• Weekly check-in: You send your updates once a week (photos, measurements, training progress, bodyweight trends, biofeedback wins, challenges, how you’re feeling, etc).

• My response: I send back a personalized video breaking down what’s happening, what matters most, and exactly what we’re adjusting for the next week.

• Between check-ins: You can message me any time questions come up right within my app. Think form questions, nutrition swaps, travel days, stress weeks, soreness, “is this normal?”, or “what do I do in this situation?”

• Form coaching: You’ll send training clips and I’ll give feedback on setup, execution, and effort so you’re actually training the right muscles. 

The goal: you’re never guessing. You always know what to do next, and why you’re doing it.

Yes, at least 3 per week. This is one of the most important parts of coaching. Execusion and effort are everything when it comes to muscle growth.

These are easy. Just prop your phone on your water bottle and hit record. I promise no one at the gym will notice or look at you funny!

Not necessarily.

Macros are a tool, not a requirement. Some clients track them because it gives us the fastest, clearest feedback. Others get great results with a simpler approach.

Here’s how I decide what you need:

• If your goal is faster fat loss, more precise recomposition, or you’ve been stuck for a while, macro tracking is usually the best move, at least for a phase.

• If you’re busy, stressed, or new to nutrition structure, we can start with a simpler system (protein targets, portions, meal structure, and a few key habits) and only add tracking if we need it.

If you do track, it won’t be “track perfectly or fail.” I’ll give you clear targets, teach you how to do it without obsession, and adjust based on trends, not one random day.

Bottom line: you don’t have to track macros forever, and you don’t have to track macros to work with me. We’ll choose the simplest method that still gets you results.

Yes, sometimes.

Week 1 is always an assessment week so I can see what your body is responding to right now: your current intake, training output, steps, sleep, stress, and adherence. If you already have a solid foundation in place, we can absolutely start in a fat loss phase right away.

If a few key pieces are missing (usually protein, step consistency, recovery, or training setup), we’ll spend a short “primer” period tightening those up first so your fat loss phase works better and feels easier. That primer is still progress, it’s just setting you up to lose fat faster and more sustainably once we push the deficit.

Bottom line: we’ll start where it makes the most sense for your body, and we’ll move into fat loss as soon as you’re ready for it.
