    Although I have set hours, I’m usually updating the app, handling admin tasks, replying to messages, or tweaking programs. I always do my best to get back to you as soon as I can, but just know it might take me 1-2 business days max to respond. I appreciate your patience!

  • Please use the message/chat feature to reach out—that way, everything stays in one place under your profile, and it’s easier for me to keep track of!

  • Training programs are updated anywhere from 4-8 weeks depending on where we are at with your program. The reason for this is that your body needs time to adapt to the changes we make in your training. I don't want to change things up too soon as we won't have enough time to figure out what is working for you in the plan.

  • I’m all about balance—your travels should never feel like they’re in conflict with your health goals. This program is designed to help you shape a sustainable mindset for life, including while you’re on the go. Bringing healthy snacks and making mindful choices while eating out can go a long way. And remember, you’ll get out of this what you put into it!

    Training
    Try choosing a hotel with a gym if possible. If not, staying active through things like walks or exploring your destination on foot is a great way to stay on track. I’m also incorporating additional bodyweight workouts, dumbbell-only workouts (perfect for hotels), and resistance band workouts soon to give you more flexible options.

    If you don’t have gym access and still want to stay consistent, just message me—I’ll help you create the perfect plan for your trip!

    Nutrition
    You can definitely still track your macros while traveling if it feels manageable, but I also want you to enjoy your trip without stressing over every detail. Here’s what I recommend:

    ✔️ Focus on protein & portion sizes – Prioritize protein at each meal and aim for balanced portions.
    ✔️ Be mindful of your choices – You don’t have to be perfect, just intentional. Enjoy local foods while keeping overall balance in mind.
    ✔️ Track if it feels doable – If logging feels overwhelming, focus on portion awareness instead. Some clients loosely track, while others take a break and get back to it after their trip.

    Ultimately, the goal is to stay mindful, make the best choices you can, and get back to structure when you're home! Let me know how you’d like to approach it, and I can give you more tailored tips. 😊

  • If you suspect an injury, stop training that muscle group immediately and let me know right away. It’s better to pause and address the issue than to risk making it worse, which could set your fitness journey back even further. Your safety and recovery come first!

  • I’m not here to stop you from living your life! That said, alcohol is loaded with empty calories and can slow down progress, whether your goal is weight loss or building muscle. It’s one of the most common setbacks people face on their fitness journeys.

    While I’d prefer you skip it, if you do choose to drink, just be mindful of your choices. Stick to lighter options like a vodka soda or tequila soda with lime—they’re lower in calories and sugar compared to other drinks. Balance is key, so enjoy responsibly!

  • If an exercise feels too easy, it likely means you’re not challenging yourself enough with the weight. Remember, your program is designed to be effective, but the intensity depends on how much effort you’re putting in. I don’t specify the exact weights in your plan because only you know your true limits.

    On the other hand, if something feels too hard, let me know! We can adjust your program to meet you where you’re at while still pushing you toward progress. It’s all about finding the right balance to challenge yourself safely.

  • You can integrate several popular apps and devices to track your progress more seamlessly, including MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, Apple Health, Garmin, Fitbit, and Oura Ring.
