Assess

Nutrition Coaching →Common Questions
Asked by clients before they booked.
How often should I train with a coach versus on my own?
It depends on your goals and how fast you want results. Most clients start at 2-3 sessions per week for the first 8-12 weeks while we build the movement library and the program. After that, some clients drop to 1-2 sessions while running the written program solo on the other days. Olympia-prep clients often stay at 4-6 sessions per week year-round.
Read more about this program →Can my partner and I have completely different goals?
Yes. One partner training for a marathon while the other is rebuilding strength post-injury? No problem. The programming is individualized — what's shared is the hour and the coaching presence.
Read more about this program →Do I have to track macros?
Yes for the first 6-12 weeks of any prescribed nutrition plan — that's how we know what's actually happening. After that, some clients move to intuitive structures with periodic re-tracks. Tracking isn't the goal; it's the data that proves the plan is working.
Read more about this program →How far out from my show should I start prep?
Minimum 16 weeks for an experienced lifter who's already lean. 20-24 weeks for first-timers or anyone starting more than 10-12 lb above stage weight. Start later than that and you're either crash-dieting or showing up flat.
Read more about this program →What gym access do I need for online coaching?
Standard commercial gym access is ideal — a barbell, dumbbells up to 100 lb, a cable stack, a rack. We can program around limited home setups, but the more equipment, the more options in the program.
Read more about this program →Can you guarantee results?
We guarantee the prescription, the coaching attention, and the methodology. We can't guarantee outcomes — they depend on adherence, sleep, stress, and biological variability. What we can tell you upfront, with the assessment data, is what a realistic outcome looks like for your starting point and timeline.
