Is the Keeping It Real Fit coaching program right for me?

Keeping It Real Fit is virtual fitness coaching for the busy professional who wants to get in better shape and optimize their time doing so.

This is not an app with a generic program for you to follow.

I’m LIVE with you over Zoom. I design a customized training program for you and take you through it LIVE.

It’s like having your LIVE personal trainer and coach in your pocket!

No commuting (yay). No gym membership required (unless you want one).

Save time. Save $.

Get in, get out. Go on with life.

Is there going to be a restrictive diet?

No.  There's no calorie counting or deprivation.  You will get to eat what you enjoy, and no, you will not starve!  

You will learn about nutrition and eating habits that will arm you with the knowledge on the kinds of food to eat, how best to prepare meals, quantities, and more.

Keeping It Real Fit will work with your particular dietary requirements.  E.g. allergies, likes/dislikes, cultural foods, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.

Will I have to join a gym?

Not unless you want to.  You can do your fitness routines in your home, outdoors or in any small space.

What kind of fitness equipment will I need?

Ideally, you'll need at least two sets of dumbbells (one lighter, one heavier - - weights will depend on your skill level).  If you don’t have equipment, we can work with bodyweight.

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 with me.  However, if you'd like to use the gym for your fitness routines, then by all means, keep the membership.

How much do I have to work-out during the week?

Depending on your goals, ideally the workouts will be 35 minutes, 2-4 times/week.  The routines are short, efficient and effective!

I'm a newbie at working out.  Will this program work for me?

Yes.  You'll get a customized program for your fitness level, designed specifically for you.

Will I have to cook separate meals for my family?

Most likely you don't need to cook a separate meal (unless your family members have particular dietary requirements).  You'll learn how to adapt recipes to meet your goals.

I'm vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian/gluten free.  Will this program work for me?

Yes.  We will work with any dietary requirements.

I don't cook.  Will this program work for me?

To live a healthier lifestyle, it's best to cook your own food as much as possible so you can control what goes into your meals.  If you don't cook at all, you have the option to add on a "Cooking 101" package to get your feet wet around the kitchen and the grocery store.  

I don't need to lose any weight.  I just want to maintain my weight.  Is this program right for me?

Yes.  At the core, Keeping It Real Fit teaches people how to sustain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy weight for life so you'll never have to "diet" again.

What's the time commitment for the coaching program?

There's a minimum 3-month commitment.  Keeping It Real Fit coaching is committed to transforming your body and your life. Real change doesn't happen in just a few weeks.  Committing to a change takes time and a bit of patience.  You have the option to continue month-to-month after your third month.  See program details here.

What are the program details and costs?

Packages will vary depending on client needs and length of program.  See program details here.

Are the coaching programs in person?

The programs are 1:1 and LIVE conducted online over Zoom.  

Is the coaching program available for anyone in the world?

Yes, as long as you have access to the Internet and Zoom.

What if I travel quite a bit?  Will this program work for me?

Yes!  This program is actually perfect for the frequent traveller who wants to stay active with their personal trainer! Many of my clients travel quite a bit for work and we continue training LIVE over Zoom wherever they are (e.g. hotel gyms, on vacation, etc).

What time zone are you in?

I am in the Eastern Standard Time (EST).  For international sessions or frequent travellers, best efforts will be made to accommodate both parties.
