FAQ

  • How is Guardian S&C different from other fitness programs?
    Guardian S&C stands apart through its emphasis on corrective exercise, functional fitness, and scientific rigor. I prioritize movements that directly translate to real-life activities, making your training relevant, practical, and effective. Additionally, my personalized approach ensures that your fitness journey aligns with your unique requirements, leading to sustainable and long-lasting results. Have a nagging ankle injury from college? We'll take that into consideration. Struggling with low back pain? We'll attack that in your program to get you stable and secure throughout your activities. Not only this, but you'll train with a true expert in the health and fitness field, rather than a social media personality. As a human performance specialist with multiple high-level strength and conditioning certifications, you can rest assured that your programs will be built with the same quality and scientific rigor as the programs Olympians use. As an academic at heart, I stay up-to-date with the latest advances and findings in the fields of exercise science, physical therapy, and nutrition, ensuring that your programs are as advanced as they come.
  • Is Guardian S&C suitable for individuals of all fitness levels?
    Absolutely! Guardian S&C is designed to cater to individuals of all fitness levels and backgrounds. Whether you're a seasoned athlete, a busy parent, a retiree, or just starting your fitness journey, your programs are tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. I believe in making fitness accessible and effective for everyone.
  • Why is it essential to have a qualified fitness trainer rather than following advice from "fitness influencers" on social media?
    While social media influencers might seem like they have all the answers, fitness is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Not only this, but they may have little to no training in exercise science. A qualified fitness trainer possesses in-depth knowledge and experience to create personalized programs based on your specific needs, limitations, and goals. They can ensure proper form, prevent injuries, and adjust your training as you progress. The guidance and expertise of a certified professional provide you with the best chance to achieve optimal results safely and efficiently.
  • What training programs do you offer and how does pricing work?
    I am excited to offer dynamic 3 and 6-month fitness training programs that are sure to revolutionize your approach to health and fitness. Elevate your fitness journey with our optional nutrition coaching, creating a comprehensive package tailored to your unique goals and aspirations. I understand that every individual is unique, and so are their fitness ambitions. That's why my pricing structure is as flexible as our programs. I take into account multiple variables to ensure that you get not only great value from your investment, but precisely what you need to embark on your path to a healthier, stronger you.

  • What is functional fitness, and why is it beneficial for everyone?
    Functional fitness is a training approach that focuses on improving everyday movement patterns, strength, and mobility to enhance overall physical performance and well-being. Unlike traditional workout routines that may isolate muscles, functional fitness aims to optimize the body's ability to perform real-life activities with ease and efficiency. This approach benefits everyone, from athletes to everyday people, by enhancing functional movement, preventing injuries, and promoting better balance, coordination, and flexibility in daily life.
  • Can Guardian S&C help with weight loss and body composition goals?
    Absolutely! My functional fitness approach, combined with personalized nutrition guidance, can be highly effective for weight loss and body composition goals. I focus on building lean muscle, increasing metabolism, and promoting sustainable lifestyle changes to help you achieve and maintain your desired body composition.
  • Is Guardian S&C suitable for older adults and those with pre-existing injuries or medical conditions?
    Yes, Guardian S&C is suitable for individuals of all ages and most medical conditions. I will tailor your workouts to accommodate any pre-existing injuries or medical conditions, ensuring a safe and effective training experience. This can be most effective when carried out with input and guidance from your health care providers, such as chiropractors and physical therapists. Functional fitness can be particularly beneficial for older adults, as it helps improve balance, mobility, and overall functional independence.
  • What equipment do I need for Guardian Strong training?
    I design your workouts to be adaptable and efficient - completely adaptable to the equipment that you have available. My training programs can use a combination of bodyweight exercises and a variety of equipment, such as dumbbells, resistance bands, stability balls, and kettlebells. Your program can be done at home or in a gym setting, depending on your preference and availability of equipment. This is the beauty of Guardian Strong training - it can be done with pure bodyweight or a fully stocked performance training center!
  • Can Guardian Strong help improve athletic performance for sport-specific training?
    Absolutely! The majority of my coaching career has been in the sports world, so I love having the opportunity to help athletes elevate their performance in their specific sport. The functional fitness training approach we will use in your programs can greatly enhance athletic performance for various sports and activities. We'll focus on developing strength, power, agility, and coordination, which are essential components for athletic success.

  • Can I work with you even if I'm not a "busy parent" or first responder?
    Absolutely! While Guardian S&C's primary focus in the online space is on helping busy parents and first responders prioritize their health and well-being, my services are open to individuals of all backgrounds. Whether you're a student, a working professional, a retiree, or anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall wellness, I welcome you to join our training programs.
