For those whose schedule or geographic location won’t allow for in-person training, or for people who have significant exercise experience but are just lacking the professional structure and guidance in their current workout program and dietary habits.
Online coaching still always starts with a conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and abilities. From there, we develop a sustainable plan for your workouts and your eating habits to ensure you hit your goals.
How it works, week to week
- Your weekly workout plan is laid out for you, A to Z
- Nutritional goals are set and tracked daily
- Weekly check-ins via email, phone, or video call
- Adjustments to both the workout plan and the nutrition as needed
Dietary coaching and education, not a rigid meal plan
We always start with an in-depth conversation about your current eating habits. This helps us develop a plan that you will actually stick with, because you will still be able to eat the foods that you already enjoy, just in moderation. The plan changes as needed, based on how your body reacts to both the workouts and the diet.
What it takes from you
Honesty with yourself, with me, and the motivation to make it to the gym when you don’t have someone waiting there for you. Online coaching asks more of you than in-person training does, because it requires a different level of accountability and motivation. This is a great option for people who already have experience with working out, or for people whose schedule or location won’t allow for in-studio sessions.
If you are brand new to fitness, or if you’re training around an old injury, starting in the studio is usually the best bet to get you started. Plenty of clients graduate from in-person sessions to online training programs once a solid foundation and routine are established.
The commitment, up front
Online coaching runs on a six month commitment. This is to ensure you stick with the plan long term to see the results that you want. I’ll be up front about this as well, it’s also to ensure that the work I do is protected and you don’t just run off with six months worth of programming on day one.
Pricing is straightforward and we will talk through it all during our online consultation, which is free no matter what you decide to do.
Questions about this service
It starts with a conversation about your goals, lifestyle and abilities. From there your weekly workout plan is laid out for you, A to Z, built around your conditioning and the equipment you can reach, with nutritional goals set and tracked daily. You check in weekly by email, phone or video call, and both the training and the nutrition get adjusted as needed. Online coaching runs on a six month commitment.
No, and most people who get in touch are not. Plenty are starting over, coming back from an injury, or have never worked with a coach before. Tom is a Corrective Exercise specialist, so most injuries are no problem. The first session is an assessment rather than a test, and the first program is built for the body you have right now.
Plenty of clients train once a week with Tom and handle the rest of the week on their own program. Twice a week moves faster. The honest answer is that the right frequency is the one you will actually keep, and that is worth talking through on the consultation.
Yes, as coaching rather than a rigid meal plan. The work is habits, protein, portions and building meals you will actually cook again. There are no supplements to buy.
In-studio sessions are priced per hour, with no gym membership fees or contracts. Online coaching is priced separately and runs on a six month commitment. Tom will walk you through both on the consultation, which is free either way.
One conversation, then a plan.
The first step is a conversation, not a sales pitch. Phone, email or video call, whichever you prefer. You talk through your goal, your schedule and anything your body is currently unhappy about, and then you decide.
- A movement assessment before any program gets written
- In the studio in Pittsburgh, or coached online from anywhere
- The same coach every session, start to finish
