Question 1

Is this suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every program starts from your current level. If you're new, we focus on technique and building the habit first, then progress from there.

Question 2

Do I need a gym membership?

Accepted Answer

For in person training we meet at Evolve Strength Post in Downtown Vancouver or at your private or condo gym. Access requirements depend on the facility, so we sort that out together on the first call. For online coaching, your program is written around whatever gym or equipment you have.

Question 3

How does online coaching work?

Accepted Answer

Everything runs through the Trainerize app: your program, progress tracking and check ins. You send videos of your lifts for form review, and you can message me throughout. The plan gets updated as you progress.

Question 4

Do you coach natural lifters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I earned my pro card in 2024 in the WNBF, a drug tested natural federation, so I know its standards from the inside. I coach with structured programming, good technique, food and consistency.

Question 5

What does in person training cost?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are priced by how often you train: $90 CAD per session at once a week, $85 at twice a week, and $80 at three times a week. Paying for 3, 6 or 12 months upfront lowers the total.

Question 6

Do you offer packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can pay as you go, or pay for 3, 6 or 12 months upfront and lower the total, for in person training and for online coaching. Every package comes with a written agreement and a 10 day cooling off period with a full refund.

Question 7

Where in Vancouver do you train clients?

Accepted Answer

In Downtown Vancouver, BC: at Evolve Strength Post, or in your own private or condo gym in Downtown and nearby. Online coaching works anywhere in Canada.

Question 8

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Pay as you go training and monthly online coaching can be cancelled with four weeks' notice. Prepaid packages have a 10 day cooling off period with a full refund. After that, used sessions are charged at the pay as you go rate and the rest is refunded. Injury, illness or a move of more than 30 km means every unused session is refunded at the package rate.
