Evidence based coaching

Over the past 20 years exercise research has proven many of our traditional training methods are simply unfounded getting results by mistake and luck rather than by design. It's common to see athletes make world class gains on about one third to half the training volume that was done traditionally using evidence based coaching. With evidence based coaching the only exercise advice a person receives is that which can be factually proven through simple but accurate testing and assessment.

"Junk training"

Doing aerobic classes? Random exercise like common boot camps or any group exercise class will get you a degree of result simply because you're exercising. But how much of each class is actually providing the consistent improvement you should be getting? Turns out not much. This kind of exercise is called junk training because only a small portion of the effort you put in causes a result. This is because the intensity and duration of exercise is not tailored to you. What if you could cut out the exercise that does nothing for you, or even harms you, and replace it with only the most effective exercise?

You'll get results that we're beyond your expectations.

Researchers are constantly comparing exercise methods to see which ones are the most effective. Did you know if you exercise too hard too soon you'll overwork yourself and risk injury? There is a body of scientific evidence that shows us how much we need to do to benefit the most while also reducing risks of overdoing it.

Evidence based coaching employs exercise methods that have been proven through research to be the most effective, and I've been keeping up with this research for over 20 years; I've also participated as both a researcher and a research subject.
