Answers

Coaching would provide a structured program designed specifically for your needs and your goals. The program will build on your limiters while maintaining your strengths by incorporating activities that you are either learning or mastering.
The coaching plan that works best for an individual depends on how much interaction you want or need. If you need help with adhering to a program or have a very busy lifestyle that requires a lot of flexibility, the Premium plan may work best for you. With the Premium plan, you can also take advantage of the group workouts to get feedback on your biomechanics. The individual coaching plan is designed for the individual who has some basic knowledge of their chosen sport and wants to focus on a specific goal such as a specific marathon or race.
With a personalized training plan you and Coach Melissa work together to reach your goals with the time you have available. Whether exercise is not normally part of your weekly schedule, or whether you are training for a marathon, Melissa will help fit your coaching to your lifestyle. It is Melissa’s belief that a person can meet their goals with efficiency. Doing more work is not necessarily how you reach your goals. Working smart is the best way.
With either coaching plan, Coach Melissa offers the VO2 max test at a discounted rate of $90 (Orig. $100). Swim, Bike or Run lessons are discounted to $75 (Orig. $100).
The premiums for the coaching packages are due at the beginning of each month. Plans payments need to be kept up to date to continue coaching services. Please make arrangements with the office staff.
Your coach is available via email as often as you need. The Basic coaching clients can schedule a monthly 30-minute phone or in-person consult with Coach Melissa. The Premium coaching clients can schedule a weekly 30-minute consult. These consults can be scheduled with the office staff as well.
Your coach likes to know how you are doing. If a workout goes really well, then let her know. If something does not go well, then let her know. Good communication means you get better results from your coaching experience. You will always need to call the office to schedule your 30-minute consults each month for a Basic level client. Premium clients will have a regular time scheduled and will only need to call the office if they need to change their times.
Your first month of coaching is $180 and includes a one hour consultation. You and your coach will determine how that hour will be used according to what your goals are. This is a great bargain for a Premium client!
The Basic coaching package costs $150 per month. The Premium coaching package costs $300 per month. Payments are due at the beginning of each month. A contract must be signed for a 3 month minimum agreement.
You need to save the feedback form Melissa will email you so you can fill it out and send it back at the beginning of the last week of your training schedule each month. This is needed to be able to make any modifications to your next month’s training schedule. It is very important!
Whenever you start a new fitness program you should always see a physician before to make sure you are physically fit enough to do the program. When you sign the informed consent form, you are agreeing that you are physically ready to take part in the training program.
As stated in the coaching contract, you will need to inform Melissa that you are discontinuing coaching before the end of the month. This notice is required before Melissa sends your next month’s training schedule or you will be charged for the next month.
