Coach Me Strong

A one-on-one exercise coaching program for masters athletes,
Gen O/W, and people with Parkinson’s,
Be stronger. Be faster. Feel better. Have an accountability partner.

 

Masters Athletes

As a masters athlete and coach I know there are two critical elements when coaching masters athletes:

1. Don’t get injured.
2. Don’t get injured.

Our goal is to make you faster, stronger, and better while designing a training program that meets your goals as an athlete.

 

Generation-O/W (Older/Wiser)

There is Generation-X, Y, Z, and now there is Generation-O/W. You are the wise ones. Life has shown you that the key to a great time is being proactive about your health, and there is no better way to do that than through exercise.

Our highly trained coaches will set up a customized program FOR YOU and communicate with you daily.

Parkinson’s Disease

THE ONLY THERAPY we know of that can actually slow the progression of Parkinson’s Disease is EXERCISE. We also know that some days it is just plain hard to get off the couch.

Coach Me Strong gets you moving and gives you an accountability partner – your coach – to work with every day to help you be stronger and more powerful.

The benefits of a structured exercise program through coaching:

  • Your structured program is set up in “cycles” to meet your goals.
  • The big picture is a year-long cycle.
  • The year is made up of month-long cycles.
  • The month is made up of weekly cycles.
  • Your coach designs these cycles specifically for you.
  • Your coach is your accountability partner.
  • Your coach will challenge you while setting you up for success.

The Process

  1. As a new client, you will complete an intake and assessment questionnaire where you define your goals, schedule, current exercise program, and any challenges you currently face, along with the participation of any care partner(s). You will also sign a standard waiver and release.
  2. Our assessment team will recommend one or more coaches to you. We will forward you their bios and resumes. We will consult with you on who would be the best coach for you. Our coaches include physical therapists, exercise physiologists, personal trainers, and others. You are welcome to contact the coaches prior to making a choice.
  3. After you are assigned a coach we will train you on using our calendar and communications app. This is a very simple system for getting your workouts and chatting with your coach daily.
  4. Your coach will create a customized plan for you. The plan will be weekly and delivered to your online calendar. You will send your coach weekly scheduling conflicts so the coach does not schedule something that cannot be accomplished. If you have current programs in place such as yoga, Pilates, boxing, etc. your coach can integrate those sessions into your calendar.
  5. The weekly plan includes a wide variety of training – strength, balance, and movement; core, strength, and aerobic fitness; nutrition and hydration recommendations; online and live sessions, and much more.
