8-WEEK 1:1 COACHING · CORPORATE PROFESSIONALS
LOSE 20 LBS
IN 8 WEEKS
WITHOUT 5AMS
Every other program assumed you had two spare hours and a slow week. This one is built around 60-hour weeks, client dinners and airport food — because that was my week too.

THE FIRST CASE STUDY IS MINE
I did the 60-hour weeks too
For 15 years I worked as a designer and manager in Architecture & Interior Design: 60-hour weeks, back-to-back meetings, dinners on the company card, and countless late nights. By 2017, I weighed 235 lbs; I was tired by 3pm, easily out of breath on stairs, and I was constantly avoiding photos. I tried what everyone tries: the 5am bootcamps, meal-prep Sundays, a keto phase, you name it. Everyone of them worked for a few weeks, until a deadline or a work trip broke the routine and I was back to zero.
Discipline mattered, but what finally worked was building the plan around my calendar instead of fighting it: a protein floor I could hit at any restaurant, a daily walking target, and one training slot I protected like a client meeting. I lost 70 lbs in 6 months and have kept it off for 8 years. It didn’t come from a textbook or a certificate. It came from years of making it work through the busiest stretch of my career. That's what I now hand to clients.

THE METHOD
What the 8 weeks actually look like
Four phases · weekly 1:1 call · daily check-in by text
WEEKS 1-2 · AUDIT
Nothing changes yet
We log your real week — meetings, travel, sleep, what you actually eat. No restrictions in this phase.
WEEKS 3-4 · ANCHORS
Three fixed rules
Protein floor, a walking target, and one non-negotiable training slot that survives a bad week.
WEEKS 5-6 · LOAD
Push what works
Training gets harder, food gets tighter, and we stress-test the plan against travel and dinners.
WEEKS 7-8 · HAND OVER
You run it, I'm on call
You drive the week without me checking in. We fix what wobbles and write down your maintenance rules.

founding clients
5 FOUNDING SPOTS
I'm taking my first five clients at a founding rate. In exchange I ask for weekly photos, honest feedback, and a written testimonial at week 8, whatever the number says.
Founding rate and payment options are covered on your consultation call, after the clarity call.
Spots left: 5 of 5
questions people ask first
Are you certified?
No. Everything I coach comes from years of doing it in the same job you have, not from a course. If you want a clinician, I will tell you that on the call.
Is 20 lbs in 8 weeks realistic for me?
For some people, yes. On the clarity call I will tell you honestly what your starting point makes likely.
How much time does it need?
About three and a half hours a week of training, plus ten minutes a day of logging.
I travel constantly. Does that break it?
No. Travel weeks have their own rules. That is the part most programs skip.
What if I have an injury or take medication?
Tell me on the call. If it needs a doctor rather than a coach, I will say so.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the plan that fits you, so I go through the investment and payment options on your consultation call (after the clarity call). Founding clients get a reduced rate.
What happens after week 8?
You keep the written plan and run it yourself. Some people carry on with monthly check-ins; there is no lock-in.
EIGHT WEEKS FROM NOW, SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT.
