The Executive Online Blueprint
High-performance structure for the high-capacity professional.
-
Phase 1: The Biomechanical Audit – A 60-minute deep-dive via Zoom to analyze your movement, injury history, and structural limitations. We map your baseline before the first rep is programmed.
-
Phase 2: The Custom Protocol – Your training and nutrition plan is delivered via a dedicated app. Every exercise is tailored to your specific environment—whether you have a full commercial gym or a minimalist home setup.
-
Phase 3: Video Form Analysis – High-level coaching doesn't require a physical presence. You upload videos of your lifts, and I provide frame-by-frame mechanical feedback to ensure you are training at an elite level.
-
Phase 4: Continuous Executive Support – Beyond weekly performance briefings, you have direct text access to me for real-time troubleshooting—from nutritional guidance during business travel to immediate program pivots when your schedule shifts.
Ideal for: Executives who want elite-level guidance but prefer the flexibility of training on their own schedule.
