Coaching That Cuts Through the Noise

Getting stronger and changing your body isn’t about secrets or motivation. It’s about clear programming, consistent execution, and smart adjustments.

I’m Christy, a strength coach who has spent more than two decades under the bar and over a decade coaching lifters of all backgrounds. Training has always been more than a hobby for me. It’s something I’ve studied, practiced, and refined for years on end. That same level of attention to detail and commitment shapes how I coach.

Online coaching with me isn’t about hype or pep talks. It’s about structure, practice, problem-solving, and clear feedback that drives gradual progress. My job isn’t to entertain you with fancy exercises, flashy techniques, or constant changes. It’s to give you the best training plan and coaching possible, built on consistency with the basics. Your job? Show up and do the work.

Hey There.

Personalized online coaching gives you structure and clarity, plus detailed feedback and guidance.

What I Offer My Clients

  • Individualized programming built around your goals, equipment, and training history.

  • Weekly progression updates based on your logged performance, so progress is steady and intentional.

  • Detailed form feedback with real corrections that improve technique and execution.

  • Adaptability when life happens: missed days, travel, or anything else that could derail your training.

  • Optional nutrition coaching for clients who can self-track macros and follow targets independently.

  • No gimmicks, no hype, no bait-and-switch. Just straightforward coaching and honest expectations.

Is My Coaching For You?

  • My Coaching Is For You If

    You’re internally driven but need structure and consistency.

    You want training that’s personalized without being overcomplicated.

    You value a no-nonsense approach based on what actually works.

    You don’t need prodding, just a system that gets results.

    You appreciate honest feedback and clear communication.

  • We're Probably Not a Fit If

    You need daily reminders or hand-holding to stay consistent.

    You want a pre-written program to follow on your own.

    You’re looking for cheerleading or “no excuses” hype.

    You’d rather be told what to do than understand why you’re doing it.

    You don’t want to log your workouts or submit form checks.

How It Works At a Glance

  • Clear Workouts to Follow

    Each week, you'll have a structured plan. Just show up, work hard, and log your reps and weights. I’ll review your training log and make adjustments to keep you progressing.

  • Video and Text Instructions

    Need a quick refresher on an exercise? No problem. Every movement in your program comes with a short demo video and written cues to help you nail the details.

  • Video Form Checks

    Good technique doesn’t develop overnight, and form checks plus incremental adjustments are key to improving technique over time. Submit as many as you like.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is your coaching for?

    I work best with intermediate lifters who are serious about building muscle, losing fat, or both. My clients are self-motivated but want structure, accountability, and honest feedback.

  • What do my weekly workouts look like?

    Most clients train 3–4 times per week using full-body or upper/lower splits. Your program will match your goals and equipment, but every plan is built on the fundamentals: squat, hinge, push, pull, and accessory work to support progress.

  • What kind of equipment do I need?

    A commercial gym gives the most flexibility, but I can program around a home setup. At minimum, you’ll need dumbbells and bands. A barbell, plates, rack, and bench make things even better.

  • How quickly will I see results?

    Results depend on consistency with training, diet, and lifestyle. If you put in the work, most people see noticeable changes within a few months. But keep in mind that there are no shortcuts, just consistent effort applied to the plan.

  • Do you work with beginners?

    Yes, but if you’re brand new, in-person personal training with a local professional is a faster way to learn the basics safely. If you prefer online training, you’ll need to commit to frequent form check videos so I can keep your technique on track.

  • Can you help me with my sport?

    My coaching is for general strength, physique, and lifestyle goals. If you want competitive prep in powerlifting, bodybuilding, or another sport, you’ll be better served by a specialist coach.

How Much Does It Cost?

  • Training Only - $160/month

    Individualized programming providing a new plan approximately every 6 weeks, weekly progression updates based on your logged performance, unlimited video form checks, and in-app communication with responses within 24 business hours.

  • Training + Nutrition - $220/month

    Everything provided by training only, plus nutrition coaching for clients who can self-track calories and macronutrients daily (not just on weekdays). I’ll review food logs, provide adjustments, and teach you how to manage your diet as a long-term skill.

What to Expect

  • To ensure we are on the same page with the coaching process and expectations on both sides, this agreement outlines what you can expect from me as your coach, and what I need from you as a client in order for our work together to be effective. The goal is clarity, accountability, and a smooth partnership.

    1. Scheduling & Calls

    Check-in calls must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations or reschedules must also be made at least 24 hours ahead. Same-day changes are not available, so if you cannot make your scheduled call, please book the next available slot.

    Repeated cancellations or frequent rescheduling disrupts the coaching workflow and may result in forfeiture of the call benefit. This ensures consistent scheduling and protects time boundaries for myself and other clients.

    2. Communication Channels

    In-app messaging is welcome and encouraged for quick notes, feedback, and questions. For big-picture topics that require a longer discussion (goals, adjustments, obstacles), please save these for your check-in call or a once-weekly email.

    3. Coaching Workflow & Updates

    All program updates are handled within a structured daily work workflow during my desk hours, prioritized by need. If something isn’t updated immediately, it is scheduled to be completed at a later point. Urgent requests or reaching out to me through channels outside our agreed upon communication methods do not accelerate turnaround, as every client’s updates are addressed in order, ensuring consistency and fairness.

    4. Training Notes & Instructions

    Each program includes specific notes on tempo, pauses, and technique. These details are essential for your progress and should be followed as written. Skipping the specifics provided in my notes or substituting exercises without discussion may compromise results.

    5. Form Feedback & Coaching Process

    I cannot provide meaningful feedback to form questions without seeing a lift on video. While I can often provide guidance with text descriptions alone, video evaluation is more reliable and allows me to give you the best coaching possible. If an exercise doesn't feel right or causes pain or discomfort, a video will be needed to evaluate and provide appropriate guidance.

    Effective coaching requires two-way communication. I treat my clients like athletes, continually working to improve your skill and competency as a lifter through an iterative process. This means I may request follow-up videos or additional information to best guide you. If you consistently submit feedback requests but don't follow through when I ask clarifying questions or request more information, the coaching process breaks down and we may not be a good fit.

    6. Timing of Feedback & Responses

    Video submissions and workout comments should be submitted within a reasonably prompt time after the workout. This is especially important if form analysis or a thoughtful written response is requested.

    Last-minute submissions of multiple videos, requests for program changes, or replies to an entire week’s worth of feedback at once (for example, waiting until Sunday night to drop several form check videos, ask a list of questions, or request changes with Monday training imminent) either puts me in the position of working outside normal hours to provide quality coaching or results in you not receiving timely feedback.

    Both outcomes reduce the effectiveness of the coaching process. So to keep coaching smooth and high-quality, please submit and review feedback consistently throughout the week as you finish workouts, rather than leaving many hours of work to the last minute.

    7. Payment & Services

    You pay for the upcoming month, not in arrears. Coaching is billed monthly via auto-pay and includes program design, weekly progression, in-app communication through workout comments and private messages (with a 24-hour turnaround time for responses Monday-Friday), form check videos as needed, one weekly email for longer discussions, and one monthly check-in call (unless an exception is made).

    Additional sessions, extended calls, or special requests outside this structure may require additional fees, which will always be discussed in advance. Examples include custom spreadsheets, extensive program modifications, or communication volume that significantly exceeds standard coaching support.

    8. Client Responsibility

    Your progress depends on consistent execution. This means attending scheduled calls (if you choose to have them), following written instructions, submitting form checks when you experience pain or an exercise feels off, and communicating clearly when issues arise. I provide structure, expertise, and guidance, but motivation, adherence to training and diet, and lifestyle consistency are your responsibility.

    9. Boundaries & Professional Conduct

    Coaching is my profession, and I treat it with the same structure and boundaries as any other job. While you are welcome to message me in the app at any time, I handle responses during my working hours so that I can respect both my family and personal time.

    You can expect a reply within 24 hours on business days, but you do not have instant access to me outside those hours. Clients are expected to respect time limits, communication boundaries, and the professional coaching container. Remember: there are no emergencies in fitness.

    Mutual respect is foundational to effective coaching. While constructive feedback and questions are always welcome, the coaching relationship works best when there is trust in my expertise and approach. If my coaching style or philosophy doesn't align with your needs, we can discuss whether continuing makes sense for both of us.
