Our Coaching Approach

This Industry

This industry, in terms of nutrition, training, injury prevention, specific training and lifestyle, is very complex to say the least and often recommendations are given based on very generalized guidelines – cookie-cutter. To be able to provide the student/client with the most appropriate individualized recommendations and programming, the most important aspect of coaching is the consult and assessment. The results and the findings we gather will then allow us to be specific in terms of giving educated answers and provide a realistic enjoyable and flexible program that is sustainable for the specific individual.

Our Goal

The goal of the consult and physical assessment is for you to

1. Get to know us and how we work.

2. Understand where you are in terms of aerobic fitness, strength, stability, balance, coordination and mobility – establishing your current baseline – which are the results/findings.

3. Leave the consult with detailed, educated and individualized answers to your questions, as well as knowing the route you could take toward your goals (where you want to be and how to get there). You are part of the process; we involve you in determining the most suitable route.

The Consult

The consult consists of the gathering of:

• Comprehensive client information including habits, lifestyle and work demands

• Medical history, present medical conditions and injuries

• Current physical activities and nutritional behaviour

• Initial body composition assessment

The Assessment

The assessment consists of:

• Client’s current exercise techniques (motor skills)

• Postural assessment

• Functional/basic movement assessment

• Stability, coordination, balance assessment

• Mobility and flexibility assessment

• Upper body, lower body and “core” strength

• Aerobic fitness

• Other assessments as deemed necessary

Our Promise

We have developed our consultation and assessment system over the years by using tools from different professional organizations and domains to test and confirm our tests and to ensure that we individualize the training approach with respect to safety, efficiency and ethics. We will continue to develop this system and evolve as science and experience evolve. Please note that the consult/assessment could be done as a standalone with no expectations or further services. It is our pleasure and reward to get to meet you and provide you with the tools that will help you make an informed decision when choosing a health service and/or training approach. We invite you to not just take our word for it, rather evaluate our services yourself by visiting our testimonial page.
