Coaching programs

Four ways to work together

Each program is built around your body composition, your available equipment and your calendar. If you are unsure which is most appropriate, that is what the consultation call is for.

About your coach

Coaching built for demanding schedules.

I am Jakob McDowell, an online fitness coach. I work with people who want to reduce body fat and build muscle while managing full time work, family commitments and irregular hours.

Working as a personal trainer means my own week runs on early mornings and late nights, so I am not guessing at what a broken schedule does to training. Programs are designed to remain workable during busy periods rather than assuming ideal conditions, because a plan that only functions in a perfect week is not a plan that produces results.

The emphasis throughout is on outcomes you can maintain. A meaningful part of every program is dedicated to what happens once it finishes, since the common pattern in this industry is that progress is lost within months of a program ending.

Coaching is delivered individually and the number of active clients is capped, so that every program receives proper attention. Places become available as existing programs conclude.
