Did you know SAA offers 1:1 Remote Coaching? This means that no matter where you are, you can get high quality workouts built for your goals and needs, and a coach to client relationship built on the effort you put forth.
So how does this all work? Let me walk you through step by step!
Step 1: You realize that despite being far from SAA, you have fitness goals you want to reach! You click the link here or find the info on the website and sign up.
Step 2: You receive an email from me and information on how to log onto Truecoach (where all workouts and communication are held).
Step 3: You schedule your questionnaire answering such questions as "what is your exercise history", "what are your current fitness goals", "what exercise equipment will you have available", etc.
Step 4: You then do your movement screening. There will be a variety of different movements for you to record yourself doing and upload in Truecoach. These will help me analyze how your body moves and any dysfunctional movement patterns you may have.
Step 5: We have a video call together where we discuss what I saw in the movement screening, and what your program design will look like. Once these are done, I can help guide you towards your fitness goals with tailored workouts that fits your schedule and equipment available, with demo videos for each exercise.
How about we go one step further and give you an example.
Let's say you do have some previous exercise history. Maybe you've taken a few workout
classes or even done a free personal training session or two at your local gym, but nothing
you've been able to stick to. You have some slight knee pain but other than that you just want to feel good without having to spend all your time at the gym. You have around an hour to an hour and a half three days a week to get your workout in. All this information was gathered from the questionnaire.
Now what did I see in the movement screening? Lacking ankle mobility and core stability. Slight impinging hips which will need some re-patterning. Other notes were made here and there to create a workout specific to you.
Look below to see the first three workouts aimed for general fitness. (And yes, you can go ahead and try these out if some of these things match up to what you need! I won't tell). Click the exercise to see a demo video.
