All of my offerings are based on the system of training I created from almost 20 years of experience- the SMD Program.

Let's break down how it works...

 Strength

The first piece of the puzzle is lifting weight.

We'll move through the 6 foundational movement patterns- Push, Pull, Squat, Lunge, Rotate, and Locomote- using resistance.  We'll use the principle of Progressive Overload- gradually and progressively adding more challenge- over a 4-6 week program.  

Mobility

This work will look different depending on whether you're in my group program or working one on one- and how you use it/what it looks like is up to your needs.

The purpose behind adding in extra mobility is to increase your end ranges of motion, strengthen your connective tissues and joints, and help eliminate aches and pains that happen when we don't move in all the ways.

 

Durability

Being durable means being able to withstand the things life throws at you.

Everything from tripping over a ledge to reaching in the backseat of your car and not pulling a muscle in your back.

Using a systematic approach to adding in rotation and moving in all directions and angles, your body becomes prepared to handle those positions when it's accidentally put in them.

The combination of focused strength building with resistance and working on ranges of motion greatly decreases your chance of getting injured.

And when you inevitably  do hurt yourself (because life)?  It makes it easier- and faster- to get back to your normal.

 

Here's what that looks like for Private Coaching, the Group, and the Course...

1:1 Coaching

A customized training program to gain strength, move well, and feel good in your body now and for life. My highly personalized workout program is developed around you- your life, your equipment, your goals, your abilities, AND your cranky shoulder.  With the use of training software, you get daily emails with your workouts, phone check ins and video sharing for both accountability and to make sure you're working in the safest and most sufficient way possible.Click the link below to fill out an application to see if we'd be a good fit.  I'll review it and get back to you within 72 hours.

STEP ONE: ASSESSMENT

 

Our work together begins with lots of conversation, a written health assessment, and a virtual movement assessment. I get all the information I need- from your injuries and health requirements to your equipment access, preferences, goals and schedule needs. Clarity and goal setting is where we begin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP TWO: PROGRAMMING

 

I take all that information and put together a highly personalized, doable and sustainable plan for the following four months. Why four months? Because it takes consistent and dedicated work to make real change. And I want you to succeed in reaching your goals.
After you reach your four months, you can continue on a month to month basis if you would like to continue with your programming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP THREE: TRAINING

 

From there, we'll meet over zoom to go over your first month of moves. Your workouts will progress throughout the month, but won't vary entirely. Switching up your workout sooner than 4 weeks doesn't give your body a time to adapt to the exercises themselves- and the strength/mobility goal of the exercise won't be reached...
From there, we'll use a training app that emails your workouts to you- with videos and written descriptions of each move- each week. It will also allow you to send videos back to me for form check.
We'll check in over the phone weekly for 30 minutes, and you'll have text access to me (via that same training app) Monday-Friday 9-5 to answer any questions, Each month you'll get a new workout, and a new zoom session to go over it, until your program is complete.

The Kettlebell Collaborative: The Group

Doors open for new members 2-3 times/year.  Doors open 5/1/24. 

The KB Collaborative is the only kettlebell program that helps you build strength and move with ease, with support from an expert and a community that uses fitness as a way to build you up, not make you smaller.

The Collab is a program and community that teaches you how to build fitness without the bullshit that diet culture sells. 

Here, we look at exercise from a place of enjoyment, sustainability, and doability.

Where you get support to move in a way that’s challenging- but also honors where you’re at today.  


It’s a training program and community that breaks down stereotypes of what fitness is, what health looks like, and teaches you meaningful and helpful concepts (what is Progressive Overload?  Why should we train barefoot? How does your diet affect your training?).

THE KETTLEBELL SKILLS

BLUEPRINT: THE COURSE 

An 8 week program that focuses on kettlebell technique and form- while also building strength and decreasing aches and pains.  

This program is for those who want to learn more about kettlebells.  Eight separate workouts, delivered to your inbox over eight weeks, with a corresponding ten minute mobility follow along video.

**I highly suggest to work each week for as long as you need to feel comfortable and confident in the moves (this could mean doing each workout for a month- you'll have access to the workouts for the life of the program, so no need to rush!).
