What Is Health & Wellness Coaching?

Health & Wellness Coaching bridges the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. While our trainers build your body and our nutritionists fuel your performance, health coaching addresses the behavioral foundation that makes everything else stick.

This isn't therapy. It's not nutrition advice. It's evidence-based behavior change coaching focused on:

• Sleep hygiene - Building rest patterns that actually restore you
• Stress management - Learning to regulate your nervous system, not just push through
• Sustainable habits - Creating systems that work when motivation runs out
• Boundaries & balance - Managing work, family, and fitness without burning out
• Mental & emotional resilience - Showing up as your best self, not just surviving

Health & Wellness Coaching uses Duke University's evidence-based 9-step behavior change methodology—the same approach used by Fortune 500 companies to reduce burnout and healthcare costs.

This Program Is For You If...

✓ You're already training consistently but not seeing the results you expect
✓ You feel "tired but wired" - exhausted but can't fall asleep
✓ You're frustrated by the gap between what you know and what you do
