No – we do not have a style of diet we push onto people. Once we do our assessment on a client, we will know what type of plan is going to be best for them. If a client has medical issues where they must do low-carb or keto, then of course, we can create it for that. However, what we find is most people do not have any medical reason to follow a low-carb or keto style plan. We realized most people follow these plans because they feel it’s the only way to get results. Maybe they tried it in the past and lost a lot of weight quickly, giving them the false idea that this is how to get results. These are also the people that couldn’t sustain that way of eating, and most likely gained most of the weight, if not all of it back. Low-carb and keto plans do work, but if it does not fit your lifestyle and if you do not have a medical reason to follow it, then you’ll be better off being on a plan that is more balanced with carbs, proteins, and fats. This is a far more sustainable way of eating for most people.

Just like how we customize meal plans, we follow the same process here. First, we do a very thorough assessment on you. We consider your starting point, how much fat you have, how much muscle you have, what your goals are, previous injuries or movement limitations, what equipment you have access to, what body parts you need to improve, and which body parts you want to improve, to name a few. Once we gather this data, we know exactly how to ULTRA customize your workout plan, both cardio and weights.

No – if you prefer to do your workouts at home, we can absolutely design a plan to work with what you have. Whether you have no equipment at all or a full home gym, we can craft a program that will get you exercising and start the process of getting you results.

There is no set number you HAVE to do. We meet you where you are. We have noticed we have two types of clients that come to us. One, healthy exercisers, which are clients that are already exercising regularly but not getting the results they want. With these clients, we focus NOT on the number of days, but the quality and effectiveness of their workouts. Just by improving and creating a plan that is more effective, they will get results without ever increasing the number of days. Second, we have the inconsistent or NON-exercisers. Our approach is different with these clients. Since they don’t have a consistent routine established, we help these clients build a routine that works for them and their schedule. The number of days you exercise will depend on where you’re starting, what your goals are, and how quickly you want to get there. If you’re looking at a more sustainable way of living, we will NOT make you do something that looks and feels impossible to achieve.

This depends on what you have access to and what you are willing to do. After our assessment, we will know what you need to do to get to your goal the fastest, but that will still be a sustainable method. However, not all people are ready to hit the ground running. Some want to ease into it, while others are ready to go all in. We will meet you where you are. In an ideal world, you would be doing some form of resistance training and some form of cardiovascular work. Resistance training doesn’t always mean doing weights or going to a gym, but it could include that. Body weight training is a form of resistance training. In-home dumbbell exercises are a form of resistance training. Going to a gym and using machines is a form of resistance training. There are many forms of cardio you can do starting with the most basic, walking. For more advanced there are things like HIIT training and Endurance training. Depending on what you need, what your goals are, and what you’re willing to do, this will determine what types of exercises you will have to do.

Within 1 week you feel a massive difference once following our plan. Results seen and felt are almost immediate IF you follow the plan. Having said that, most do not struggle with following a plan and it is not working. Most struggle with simply following the plan. This is exactly why we put so much emphasis on habit coaching and mindset coaching. Our goal is to make you consistent at following your plan, because we know, and have the data to prove it, then when you follow our plan, you WILL get results. The limitation is not our plan in most cases. The limitation is the client not executing the plan.

The number one reason a client doesn’t get results is because they don’t follow the plan. But this leads us to a bigger issue, why does a client NOT follow the plan? In most cases, a client will not follow a plan because they become un-coachable. They go into hiding and stop responding to our messages and phone calls. They don’t show up for their coaching sessions. They essentially stop following our Five Expectations we have for our clients. We have Five Client Expectations, and if you follow these five expectations, you will get results. 1. We expect you to put your energy and effort into the following the plan given 2. We expect you to contact us immediately if you are unable to follow the plan for any reason, whether it is lack of motivation, getting into your own head, etc. We will coach you through how to get on track and simplify the process. 3. We expect you to contact us immediately if you start to feel negative, start to feel like you’re going backwards, or the program isn’t working. We will coach you through how to get on track mentally. 4. We expect you to respond to us when we reach out for our weekly check-in. We want to coach you. We want to know what is going on. We want to help you. If you don’t respond to us when we are trying to coach you, how are we ever able to help? 5. We expect you to be on all coaching calls regardless of whether you feel you’ve made progress or not. If you don’t feel like you’re progressing or if you haven’t been following the plan, that’s all the more reason to get into the coaching session. WE WANT TO COACH YOU. WE WANT TO HELP YOU. LET US DO THE JOB THAT YOU HIRED US TO DO. We DO NOT expect you to be perfect at executing your plan. However, we do expect you to always be coachable and trust we truly care about you transforming. This is not about ego for us. This is about living out our life’s purpose to help people through nutrition, exercise, and positive mindset changes.

No – Many of our clients are lifestyle clients. In fact, about 80% of our clients are lifestyle clients and only about 20% are competition clients. A fun fact is most of our competition clients started off as lifestyle clients, had such great success with their lifestyle program, then decided they wanted to do a fitness competition. When a competitor is NOT training for a competition, they are following a lifestyle program. Another fun fact, all competition clients follow a lifestyle program to prepare for a show. Then we show them how to elevate that program to get EXTREME results, competition level results.

Not much difference at all. The biggest difference is the speed at which you take your program AND how far you go with body fat loss. Our lifestyle clients do not have a specific amount of body fat and muscle mass they need to be at by a specific date like a competitor. Lifestyle clients have a far more sustainable approach than what a competitor has to do in the final months leading into their show. When a competitor starts with us, they start with a lifestyle program just as a lifestyle client would start. However, once a competitor is 4 months away from their show, this is when the true competition program begins. Their progression and execution of their plan must increase rapidly because they are on a deadline and have extreme body goals. Also, our competition coaching is NOT industry standard. Most competition programs require you to eat the same breakfast for months on end. The same lunch, the same dinner, etc. You literally eat the same foods day after day for 4-6 months. Then you have to LIVE in the gym with your workouts and cardio. This creates massive burnout after the competition, often resulting in the client losing all of their results. Our competition coaching focuses on taking a journey leading up to your show where 80% of your results can be sustained after the show. We not only focus on taking a far less extreme approach than most competition coaches, but we emphasize what happens after the show, making sure you are keeping your results. And, since a lifestyle client is not competing, they will never experience this rapid, fast paced type of program.
