WELCOME TO
THE STARTER PACK
The perfect moment is now & I’ll be with you 100% of the way
Over the next 6 weeks, I'll guide you through 31 workouts and provide a series of tips and strategies on your mindset, training, wellness, nutrition, and recovery. You'll get closer to your goals, whatever they may be, while building sustainable habits on your path towards becoming your own GOAT - Greatest of All Time.
I don't want to just tell you what to do in hopes that it sticks. Instead, I want to teach you the "how's" and "why's" behind everything we do. This way, you have the tools necessary for success so that you can continue your journey well after The Starter Pack.

my training approach
& what to expect
My goal as a coach isn’t to put you through the ringer for the sake of putting you through the ringer. I will never ask you to do hundreds of burpees. Yes, the work I give you may be challenging, but I want you to leave feeling stronger, more conditioned, more mobile, and more confident. You will also know more about your body and its capabilities than you did at the start of the program.
The Starter Pack is for everybody, no matter your expertise, or the equipment or space available to you. This program is for YOU and is flexible to meet your unique needs and schedule. You can make this a 12-week program by spreading the workouts in a given week to two weeks, or by repeating each week twice. You can break each workout in half and perform the first half now, and the second half later. You can adjust reps, sets, and rest periods as needed.
Here's some more insight on my training philosophies and what to expect over the next 6 weeks of training.
nutrition
Nutrition Overview & "Diet" Paradigm Shift
We’re going to shift away from modern diet culture and move towards building enjoyable eating habits that are sustainable for you and your lifestyle.
“Diets” tend to fail because they’re predicated on restrictive behaviors that are unsustainable. They also indicate a starting point and an end point. And because they’re too strict, more often than not, people go back to their original eating habits.
Let’s make eating a lifestyle by discussing why context around food matters, inclusive versus restrictive eating, and our internal dialogues with eating. We will consider how we can navigate eating while out with friends, traveling, and over the holidays, as well as how we can view food as fuel for physical and mental performance.
You'll not only improve your nutrition, but you'll feel better and improve your relationships with food in the process.
recovery
Make Recovery a Habit
Recovery yields results. Most of your time in a week is spent recovering - i.e. when you are not working out - so this time is key for making forward progress.
We’re going to make recovery a habit with some key tips and strategies that you can implement every day to improve your sleep quality, stress coping mechanisms, range of motion, post-workout soreness, and much more.
wellness
"Micro" vs. "Macro" Goals and 168 Hours in a Week
If you train for 4 hours a week, what are you doing with the remaining 164 hours? Your health and wellness is truly holistic and goes well beyond the physical act of working out.
We'll also discuss short term "micro" goals and long term "macro" goals. By prioritizing and focusing on the "macro" goal of lifelong health and happiness, you'll reach your "micro" goals in the process without obsessing over them daily.
Paradigm Shift
No Gym, No Equipment? No Problem
I’ll provide bodyweight, band, and dumbbell options for each exercise so that this program is truly for everybody.
Gyms don’t make us healthy. Likewise, the lack of a gym doesn’t make us unhealthy. I want us to think outside the typical constructs of a “gym,” while broadening our idea of what exercise means and its purpose in improving our holistic mental, physical, emotional, and social health.
