Frequently Asked Questions
How does Online Training Work?
Once you purchase one of my online training programs you will be sent nutrition and exercise questionnaires to help me better understand your current situation and your goal. My program consists of a custom meal plan, customized workout and cardio plan, along with 24/7 personal support from me directly. In order for your program to be fully customized you must answer all the questions in the questionnaire in full detail. The more information you provide me with the easier it will be to fully customize your program. You will be responsible for contacting me directly on a weekly/daily basis to let me know your updates and progress. I encourage all clients to take advantage of that tool, I am your trainer and I can not help you if you do not inform me. You will be communicating with me personally not a automated system or any type of cookie cutter program. My goal is to get you in the best shape of your life as quickly as we can in the safest manner possible! I also want to help you to sustain your new body for the long term! I will be here every step of the way to answer any questions you may have throughout your transformation.
How Long Does it Take Until I receive My Fully Customized Program?
You will receive your questionnaires and forms within 24 hours of purchase. Once I receive all your info (including your before picture) I will begin making your plan. It typically takes me anywhere from 24 hours-2 days to make your plan.
Do I have to Take before Pics?
Yes, there is no way I will be able to see what your body looks like without them. I can not fully design your plan without them. No before pics will be released, unless you agree to do a before and after transformation
Can The Online Workout Program be done at home?
Yes it can! Based on your workout questionnaire I will customize your program based off the equipment that you currently have. I do recommend a basic dumbbell and barbell set along with some type of cardio machine. If you do not have those items I can still customize your program.
Does Online Personal Training Really Work?
ABSOLUTELY!! I have worked with clients worldwide! The reason it works is because I will educate you on all the aspects to living and maintaining long term weight loss. I am NOT about quick fixes and crash dieting. My goal for all my clients is to help you get your ideal body and teach you to maintain it forever. I will teach you how to eat effectively for fat loss or muscle building. I will be teaching you how and when to make changes to your plan to keep you moving in the right direction. My Online training only works if you do. If you follow what I give you 110% I can guarantee you will love the results you see!
What is the difference between the Various Programs you offer?I offer two basic online programs. The difference between the One Month and Three Month is the time period. The one month is what I like to consider a "trial" program. This program will get you results and is an introduction to Online Personal Training. The Three Month program is the most popular program. Most people can achieve their goals in that time frame. Either way all of my Online Personal Training programs are catered to you and your needs, so the real difference between them is really based on what your personal goals are!
Do I need to Purchase any Equipment for your Program?
The only items you will need to buy will be a general scale for your weekly weigh ins. Other optional items that will help you on your journey would be a basic food scale and a bodyfat machine. You can find those items along with some supplements in my store Fitness Products
Do you give out a Sample Meal Plan or Sample Workouts?
No way! Every program I design is geared toward helping my client get to your specific goals. Cookie Cutter programs do not work and are hazardous to your metabolism!
Can I still Drink Alcohol on this plan?
Alcohol is something that will slow down any progress you will be making. Alcohol is not advised however everything in moderation. I would keep your alcohol consumption to one drink per week. Anything more then that and you will be shooting yourself in the foot and pushing your goals further and further away!
Do you just design Meal Plans?
Yes I do! Each meal plan I design is customized to you and your goals. You can find out more info here: Customized Nutritional Plans
Can I add some of my favorite foods into my diet?
Yes this is one of the questions you will be answering in your nutrition form. I can usually fit any type of food into your meal plan (except for some obvious junk foods). If you like cookies I might be able to offer you alternatives such as instead of 2 Chocolate chip cookies (a true serving of cookies) we can replace that with a Kashi brand cookie that provides you with more vitamins and fiber.
Where do i get my Bodyfat Checked?
In my online store I have a handheld bodyfat machine you can purchase for in home use. If not you might be able to have a trainer at your local gym check your body fat for you.
Does Online Training mean I get to work with you as my Trainer in Person?
Unfortunately No. If you sign up as a online client then all communication will be done via email/phone, you will not be working with me 1 on 1 in person.
If I live local can I come in for a Training Session?
Sure. If your interested in this option email me: certifiedpt87@aol.com
I just had a baby, when can I start and is it ok since I am nursing?
8 weeks after having your child is the ideal time to begin your program. There is no issue with you nursing. Just make sure before you begin you get medical clearance from your doctor before begining any program.
Can I do Online Personal Training if I am a Type 1 or type 2 diabetic?
Believe it or not my dad has Type 1 Diabetes so I have years of experience with diabetics. If you are type 2, it is most likely that your diabetes will go away once you control your diet and lose the extra weight your body is carrying. If you are a Type 1 you will find that it will be a little bit easier to manage your sugar. I have trained many diabetics over the years and each and every one has gotten amazing results!
I am in my late 50's, Can I still get results?
I get this question frequently and I have trained many clients over the age of 50 who have successfully changed their body. There is no reason on this earth that a man or women between the ages of 40 through 60 cannot get similar if not better results then their younger counterparts. Once we age our metabolisms do slow down so we will be working against nature however if you follow the plan and do your homework you will be a new person!
Will your program work for us Skinny Guys or Hardgainers?
Yes! Your program will be catered to your needs. I am a hardgainer (started at 130lbs) so I can relate to how frustrating it can be to put size on.
Are there refunds?I have a strict no refund policy, my goal as a trainer is to have you succeed. If I give you a refund it will be a form of quitting, we can not have that. In order to get results you must follow my advice 110%, anything less we result in less then stellar results. My program is for people who are willing to make the necessary changes to totally change their lives.
