Is the Keeping It Real Fit coaching program right for me?
Keeping It Real Fit online fitness and nutrition coaching is ideal for the busy woman who wants to get in better shape, have more energy, eat better and be more active, yet struggle to find time and motivation to do so.
The online coaching programs are designed for each person's individual goals and schedule. You will have an accountability partner (me) for the duration of the program to guide you to your goals. Major areas covered will be food, fitness, mindset, habits, sleep, stress, your environment and support system.
How is Keeping It Real Fit coaching different than other diet or fitness programs?
Keeping It Real Fit is not a diet or fitness plan. It is tested habit-based coaching that focuses on nutrition, fitness and habits that gets results.
This program is not about recipes, meal plans or workout routines (although you do get those). There's a heavy focus on mindset and habits. These are crucial elements to successful sustainable weight management.
"Your body will follow your mind"
Your mind controls your behaviour, hence forming good habits is key to your transformation. My job is to prepare you mentally for real life situations that may hinder your progression.
It's widely known that having a trusted accountability partner is crucial to staying on course and motivated. You will have me as your dedicated accountability partner for the entire duration of your program vs a sea of people in online groups. Think of me as your wing woman!
The private 1:1 coaching is conducted virtually via Zoom, Skype (or other video technology). Virtual coaching is more important and needed now than ever.

Will I have to join a gym?

What kind of fitness equipment will I need?
For the strength training, you'll need two sets of dumbbells (one lighter, one heavier - - weights will depend on your skill level). For the rest of the routines, you won't need equipment as you'll be using your own body weight.
I already have a gym membership. If I join Keeping It Real Fit, should I cancel my gym membership?
Not unless you want to. You can do all the fitness routines at home. However, if you'd like to use the gym for your fitness routines, then by all means, keep the membership.

The routines are short, efficient and effective!
