WELCOME TO 1:1 COACHING! There are many coaching programs in the fitness world so we are honored and thankful that you chose us to help navigate your journey. While we have some of the smartest and most qualified coaches in the industry, it doesn’t matter unless we help you achieve success. That’s our priority. We want to ensure you reach your goals so before you start, here are some tips to help you hit the ground running to get the most out of your coaching experience! Check-in Regularly: Clients who are diligent in contacting their coach at least 2 -3 times a week have historically been much more successful than those who are passive in their communication. So make sure you’re vigilant in maintaining good communication! Ask Questions: Your coach is a treasure trove of information, take advantage! Unsure if you’re following the plan correctly? Want to know why certain things are recommended? Have things you want to incorporate in your plan but not sure if it’s okay? Don’t hesitate to ask! Your coach can help you determine the best practices to follow in a safe and healthy manner. Not only is there no such thing as a silly question, but there’s no such thing as too many questions. Understand Macros: Protein, Carbs, and Fats. These are the foundation upon which a successful diet plan is built and ratio/amounts matter. If you chose the diet or the combo option, your coach will write a diet plan using these three macronutrients and teach you how to count them. We do it slightly differently than other programs though. This is critical to the plan so if you are uncertain about anything, ask your coach! Be Consistent: Consistency helps develop routines and builds momentum. This is how you can form good habits that stick with you and make the process gradually easier to follow. Be Transparent: Perhaps you had more to eat than your plan called for last week, or you skipped your training -- it can happen to anyone. Trying to hide that fact from your coach may protect your pride and avoid potential embarrassment but is detrimental in helping you get back on track to your goals. Be open and honest in your communication so your coaches can make helpful adjustments and a gameplan to get you right back on track. They are professionals and their focus is to help you succeed, not make value judgments against you! Self-Reflect: No matter how great your game plan is, it is useless if it is not being implemented properly. Think about why you signed up for coaching, what you want to get out of it, and how seriously you want to achieve the goal. Hold yourself accountable, be as compliant as you can, be honest with yourself, and success is inevitable! Stay Guilt Free: Everything is a trade off! If you decide to have a dinner out for a special occasion on the diet, you might not have maximal results, but that is okay if you choose it! Make choices like this carefully and decide what your priorities are. This way if you abstain for maximal progress you don’t feel like you missed out and if you indulge and don’t quite make maximal progress, you don’t feel guilty. Either choice is right if it is right for you!
