FAQ
Good questions
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. Every program starts from your current level. If you're new, we focus on technique and building the habit first, then progress from there.
Do I need a gym membership?
For in person training we meet at Evolve Strength Post in Downtown Vancouver or at your private or condo gym. Access requirements depend on the facility, so we sort that out together on the first call. For online coaching, your program is written around whatever gym or equipment you have.
How does online coaching work?
Everything runs through the Trainerize app: your program, progress tracking and check ins. You send videos of your lifts for form review, and you can message me throughout. The plan gets updated as you progress.
Do you coach natural lifters?
Yes. I compete in the WNBF, a drug tested natural federation, and earned my pro card there in 2024. I coach the same way I train: structured programming, good technique, food and consistency.
What does in person training cost?
Sessions are priced by how often you train: $90 CAD per session at once a week, $85 at twice a week, and $80 at three times a week. Paying for 3, 6 or 12 months upfront lowers the total.
What is the cancellation policy?
Pay as you go training and monthly online coaching can be cancelled with four weeks' notice. Prepaid packages have a 10 day cooling off period with a full refund. After that, used sessions are charged at the pay as you go rate and the rest is refunded. Injury, illness or a move of more than 30 km means every unused session is refunded at the package rate.
