Frequently asked questions.
Q: Do I need to give up my favorite foods?
A: Absolutely not! My approach focuses on addition rather than elimination. We’ll work together to include foods you love while building overall healthy eating patterns.
Q: What if I’ve never lifted weights before?
A: Perfect! I love working with beginners. We’ll start with fundamental movement patterns and progress at a pace that feels challenging and safe for you.
Q: Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or cultural food preferences?
A: Yes! I specialize in creating inclusive nutrition plans that honor your cultural background, religious requirements, and personal preferences.
Q: Where do you offer in-person training?
A: I have access to private, fully-equipped training facilities in both Brooklyn and Queens/Long Island. These professional spaces offer a premium training environment without the crowds and distractions of commercial gyms. The facilities include free weights, resistance machines, cardio equipment, and functional training areas. Location selection depends on your convenience and preference.
Q: What’s the difference between training at your private facilities versus other gyms?
A: My private facilities offer several advantages: no membership fees required, no crowded equipment, a focused training environment, professional-grade equipment, and complete privacy for your sessions. You’ll have access to everything needed for comprehensive strength training and conditioning.
Q: What equipment do I need for remote/virtual training?
A: For virtual training, I can design programs based on what you have available - from bodyweight-only routines to full home gym setups. During our consultation, we’ll assess your current equipment and space, and I can provide recommendations for cost-effective additions if desired.
Q: How do I choose between Brooklyn and Queens/LI locations?
A: Location selection is based on your convenience and travel preferences. Both facilities are fully equipped and offer the same high-quality training environment. We’ll discuss which location works best for your schedule and commute during our discovery call.
Q: How often will we communicate?
A: This depends on your chosen package. All clients have app messaging access, with response times varying by package level. In-person clients also benefit from real-time communication during sessions.
Q: Can I switch between in-person and virtual training?
A: Yes! I offer flexible arrangements where you can combine in-person sessions at my facilities with virtual sessions when travel isn’t convenient. This hybrid approach is popular with clients who want maximum flexibility.
Q: What if I need to pause my coaching?
A: Life happens! I offer flexible pausing options for vacations, illness, or life circumstances. We’ll discuss options that work for your situation.
Q: Do you offer small group training at your facilities?
A: Yes! The private facilities are perfect for small group training (2-3 people). This can be a cost-effective option for couples, friends, or family members who want to train together while receiving expert guidance.
