GET IN. GET FIT. GET ON WITH LIFE.

Absolutely! Simply book a “FREE Program Inquiry” to speak to me directly about our services via Zoom video chat and discuss your needs and program details.

Keep in mind, if you do book this call and do not attend your scheduled time within 5 minutes of the start time, I will leave the call and continue with my workday.

Simple. I believe that everyone is in a different place physically and psychologically and the body you see in a picture used for marketing is not yours. Comparing yourself to others should not be a prime motivation. I feel a person should compare themselves to themselves as that is the real measure! You have a unique genetic makeup, fitness level, and sensitivity to exercise and your results are your own.

I choose not to exploit our clients and perpetuate the fitness scams plaguing the internet and media. I also dislike manipulative and disingenuous marketing and the fitness industry is notorious for it and I want nothing to do with that. Be the best version of yourself, not someone else.

Your professional fitness and nutrition coach will determine the general course of coaching calls based on their observations, your conversations, and any other data they collect relevant to you. This included information in your original assessment form, conversations, or messages. The typical coaching session follows a three-system format which includes workout/fitness review, nutrition/food review, and general mindset coaching.

Often, your coach will ask you to submit a video of you performing a certain exercise or may have you demonstrate live on a call to ensure quality movements and risk assessment.

Conveniently send short exercise videos for your coach to review right through the Forge app messenger.

Yes, but I would hate to see you go! Before you cancel, make sure you have communicated your needs completely with your Coach. If you feel you may need to switch coaches, as this can happen, please request from your Coach to be reassigned. It is our goal to support you and we will be happy to get you with the right coaching dynamic. At Forge, we can write programs for just about anyone so if you are not getting what you need, speak up!

NOTE:  you may cancel your recurring dues 10 DAYS PRIOR to your billing date with written notice directly to your coach. Please message your Coach in the app messenger and they will facilitate the cancellation.

Keep in mind, Forge is not a gimmick or quick fix and I expect all clients to see results. You must resolve to patiently and persistently execute each and every workout with the mindset of absolute success. One of the challenging situations to work through with clients is their tendency to deceive themselves about how much effort they truly put into a workout, nutrition, or general fitness lifestyle. I seek to avoid that, and we will work with each client to motivate and guide them to the very best of our ability.

Because every single client program is built from scratch, it can take a few days to have everything done and loaded. Our goal is to have all new client programs built, loaded, and reviewed within 1-3 days from enrollment. Sometimes, a new client has highly specific needs or conditions and that may take up to 2-4 days to nail down, especially with complex nutrition issues.

Sometimes, if a client enrolls on a weekend there may be an additional delay as most coaches are not active on Sunday. We prefer to get all clients motivated and fully engaged in their program as soon as possible!

Yes! One thing that separates Forge from other online training options is we have a fully licensed and Registered Dietitian in-house and each program includes a custom meal plan with 6 total menus in that plan. Choose between a balanced meal plan, gluten-free, lactose-free, or vegetarian. Meal plans are calorie appropriate and based on a macro ratio of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat with a variance of 15-20%.

Your coach will provide nutritional education no matter your program as this is integral to the wellness focus of each Forge program. Your coach may alter your caloric or macro intake based on your bio-feedback and progress.

Also, clients have access to a large database of additional meal plans, recipes, and nutritional education articles.

No problem! One of the outstanding benefits of working with Forge is our adaptability to your resources and lifestyle. I work with individuals that travel, have tight schedules or simply do not want to or can’t get to a commercial fitness center. While gym memberships are very helpful in adding verity to your program by way of providing a wide range of equipment options, it is not necessary to see a degree of fitness success. Each program is based on what you have available.  For clients with home gyms, I will build the program with all of your equipment in mind. I do encourage clients to make modest investments in resistance bands, stability balls or other apparatus that will add benefits to and accelerate reaching your potential.

Ah! One question every trainer receives from new clients is “how long will it take for me to see results.” Trainers or fitness scams that promise results in ridiculous time frames are misleading and have greatly altered reasonable expectation. In addition, this has created a culture of fitness failure and fosters a sense of hopelessness. I suggest most folks stay off the scale and not measure yourself by standards outside of your own unique physiology, genetic makeup and current condition. I like to measure based on composition change, fat loss, muscle development and strength increases…the stuff that maters!

Bottom line: results depend on several factors including genetic disposition, physiological adaptation to prescribed exercises, effort applied to each workout, consistency, proper caloric ratio and intake, nutritional quality and variety. As a general example, if your goal is body fat loss, a male can safely lose approximately 1.5-2.0lbs per week and females 1.0-1.5lbs. This means a healthy female may lose up to 4-6 pounds of pure body fat every 4 weeks.

Yes! We work with many couples, groups and businesses!

Because of the individual nature of each person’s unique condition and goal, all accounts and programs are separate. At this time, we do not have any specific discounts for couples due to the narrow margin and I would rather not raise prices.

However, we do work with dozens of couples. Also, not all couples need or choose the same program type and one may upgrade or downgrade their coaching type at any time. 

Yes, our coaches will work with athletes or figure competitors. We have a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) for athletes and a certified Physique and Figure Training Specialist (PFTS) available to work with you on higher level programming. However, I generally limit the nutritional programming for all groups to retain integrity in our true scope of practice.
