I got a call yesterday from someone thinking about starting.
She was curious, excited… and nervous.
Then she asked me this:
“If you train groups of five people… how much attention do I actually get?”
Totally fair question. Especially if you’re new to strength training and worried about falling behind—or worse, doing it wrong and getting hurt.
She’d never set foot in a gym. Told me she didn’t want to be “the out-of-shape beginner in a room full of fit people.”
Sound familiar?
Here’s what I told her:
Yes, I allow up to 5 people in a session…
But most sessions have 2–3 people max.
And more importantly—every client starts the same way: 1-on-1.
No guessing.
No getting tossed into a group workout.
No confusion.
I walk you through everything:
Where to put your stuff.
How to warm up.
How to move safely and confidently.
You’ll know exactly what to do and why you’re doing it—before you ever train alongside anyone else.
Most of my clients hadn’t touched a weight in decades—if ever.
Now they’re lifting, squatting, and surprising themselves every single week.
And once you do join a small group session?
I’m still right there—coaching, guiding, making sure you feel confident and clear on every move.
As you grow, I step back—but only because you’ll need me less.
Because that’s the goal.
Not to make you dependent on me…
But to make you independent. Capable. Confident.
And if it ever feels like it’s not working?
I back it up with a 100% money-back guarantee.
No fine print. Just results—or your money back.
To make it even easier, I’m offering a $400 gift card you can use toward anything I offer.
No expiration. No pressure. Just help—when you’re ready.
You don’t need to overhaul your life or wait for the “perfect time.” You just need a place to begin—one smart step at a time.
