Do I need to be in shape before I start?

Do you work with clients of all fitness levels?
Yes. Programs run from complete beginner to advanced athlete and are adjusted to your needs, your biology and your goals.
What plan should I pick?
Keep it simple. If you have a specific performance goal, like a meet, a race or a stage, choose a Performance plan. If you want to look and feel better and live longer, choose a Health and Longevity plan. The Premium versions add more direct coaching access and in-person training for local clients.

Fundamental plans include a custom food plan, a training program, a supplement review, a 15 minute coaching check-in and live chat with a 48 hour reply. Premium plans add a longer 30 minute coaching check-in, a 12 hour chat reply, direct phone access, blood work review and monthly in-person training for locals.
Will I get a workout program too?
Yes. Custom workouts built around your schedule and your level, plus accountability and help with safe, effective form.
Can you help me gain weight or build muscle?
Yes. We build plans for muscle gain, body recomposition, competition prep and cuts, and sustainable fat loss.
What does the first session look like?
We talk through your goals, what has not worked before, your concerns and your schedule, and we assess where you are now. Then we build a plan around the version of this you will actually follow.
Is coaching online or in person?
Mostly online and by phone, because that is the easiest way to fit it into a busy week. Premium plans include monthly in-person training for clients near Pittsburgh.
What qualifications do you have?
Ward is a NASM certified nutrition coach with over a decade of experience and a master's degree in organizational psychology.
How do you track progress?
Check-ins, body measurements and fitness assessments, not just the scale.
Can you work around dietary restrictions?
Yes. Plans are built around your restrictions and developed alongside your doctors where needed.
Is there a discount for paying ahead?
Yes. Paying for a 3 month block instead of weekly lowers processing fees and works out to two free weeks each quarter.
Do you post client before and after photos?
No. We do not use other people's bodies as marketing. Clients are welcome to share their own results.
