Flash Fit

I provide what I call "flexible accountability". That is: I'm not here to make you feel guilty if you can't get to a workout or need to switch things around. I'm far more concerned with consistency than any single workout. So I make myself available and responsive - if a client needs to switch workouts around, miss a workout, etc., I will do what I can with their schedule to maximize results. And, as I said, I am very reachable. I encourage my clients to reach out with any questions, concerns, requests, etc., and most of my clients have taken me up on the offer of a regular monthly phone check-in (if not more frequent).

I don't think this exists. As humans, we are constantly striving to improve - we aren't ever satisfied! So I encourage my clients to set incremental goals and focus on those benchmarks instead of the elusive "dream body". Our goals, desires, wishes change as we get older, as our lifestyles change, etc., so I make sure to check in with my clients about goals on a regular basis - at least once/month - so we can retool and rethink as needed.

It may sound hokey, but I truly love to see my clients both reach their specific goals and find the joy in living a healthier life. The way I coach is more focused on healthy living as a long-term goal rather than singular metrics-driven goals. And my clients respond very well to this approach, even those whose primary goal when we started working together was a PR or similar.

I've always been a runner and enjoyed reading about nutrition, but I never considered making this a career path until I lost my mother to dementia in 2017. That was truly a hellish ordeal - for her especially, of course, but also as a loved one and part-time caregiver. I read a lot about the connections between brain health and exercise, healthy diet, sleep hygiene, etc. during that time, and after she passed, I realized there was no reason NOT to pursue my passion and help people (hopefully) avoid the pitfalls of poor lifestyle choices.

Because I truly care. You won't find a coach who is more invested in helping you both achieve your specific goals and become a healthier version of you for the long run. I am also constantly educating myself - obtaining new certifications, taking new courses, etc. in an effort to better serve my clients.

Most of my coaching is done online at the moment, via either Final Surge (primarily runners) or Everfit (all types of fitness). That said, I will do in-person sessions if they are local to me (Arlington, VA). I have a full-time job and kids, so my weekly bandwidth for in-person sessions is limited, but generally I can be available on Saturday mornings and some lunch hours/after work hours. Hey, reach out and ask - I'm sure we can work something out!

With primarily online coaching, this is a non-issue. For my in-person clients, I will respect anyone who wishes to wear a mask and maintain distance. But I have not had a client express concern over COVID-19 in at least a year.
