You’ll be coached by someone who walks the talk.

I’ll coach you with strong standards—but safe progressions—so you feel capable fast.

I know what it’s like to feel stuck and to realize your health today shapes your freedom tomorrow.

I’m not here to hand you random workouts. I’m here to coach you into confidence and consistency.

YOUR 3-STEP PLAN

Here’s how we get you from “I can’t” to “I can.”

If nothing changes, it doesn’t stay neutral

Most people don’t suddenly “find time.” They slowly lose strength, confidence, and mobility—and restarting gets harder than it needs to be. This program is designed to help you take action now—safely, progressively, and with support.

The difference between waiting… and starting:

IF NOTHING CHANGES

Muscle slowly declines, and everyday tasks feel heavier than they should.

Metabolism becomes less responsive, making weight and blood sugar harder to manage.

Stiffness and joint discomfort increase from inactivity.

Energy stays unpredictable — crashes, poor sleep, low drive.

Confidence drops, and workouts feel intimidating.

Your freedom to move—and stay independent—shrinks month by month.

IN 6 WEEKS, IF YOU START

You’re stronger, steadier, and more in control of your body.

Your metabolism begins responding to strength training and better fueling.

Movement feels smoother; joints feel supported, not fragile.

Energy is more stable, and recovery improves.

You feel confident training at home — or walking into a gym.

The gap shrinks — you’ve built momentum instead of losing ground.

Strength Reset Package (6 Weeks)

This is the minimum entry point because results require progression and accountability—not random sessions.

What’s included:

Recommended schedule

Most clients do best with 2 fitness sessions per week.
(We’ll customize based on recovery, schedule, and stress load.)

You can workout from your home or from the gym

Strength Momentum Package (6 Weeks)

For clients who want ongoing online strength coaching and accountability after the reset—without starting over:

  • 10 x 45-min sessions
  • 20-min lifestyle touchpoint every two weeks
  • If you re-enroll within 7 days after completing The Strength Reset Package, you get a free 30-min check-in (use it for anything)

Recommended schedule

Most clients do best with 2 fitness sessions per week.
(We’ll customize based on recovery, schedule, and stress load.)

How we track progress (beyond the scale)

Waist-to-hip ratio (baseline + end)
BMI (basic reference point)
Strength, stamina, form quality, and consistency

Janne Andersen, Retired Physician (M.D.)

Partner Training (2:1 Online Personal Training)

This is for couples/friends who want shared accountability and live coaching at home (no gym).

What’s included:

Recommended schedule

Most clients do best with 2 fitness sessions per week. (We’ll adjust based on recovery and schedule.)

Want nutrition + lifestyle support too?

An optional add-on is available (Diet tracker setup + check-ins) and it can be added at any time.

Want Deeper Support Beyond Training?

Coaching + Testing Support When Workouts Aren’t the Whole Story

Many clients start with training to get stronger and more consistent—then realize the real bottleneck is energy, cravings, stress load, sleep, digestion, or metabolic patterns.

If that’s you, you can stay in one place with one coach. We’ll discuss best-fit next steps during your Start/Restart Strength Call.

Functional Health Coaching

Get a clear, lab-informed plan and coaching to improve weight, digestion, and steady performance to achieve more because you want to and can. 

Weight Loss + GLP-1 Support

On or coming off GLP-1? Protect muscle and prevent regain with lab-informed strategy—beyond the meds, for the long run.

Blood Sugar Balance

Stabilize cravings, belly weight, sleep, and mood—and improve your relationship with food applying blood sugar strategies and CGM insights.

Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis

Connect your symptoms to your bloodwork, uncover blind spots, and leave with clear priorities—no more guessing.

Hormones + PCOS

Support hormone and metabolic shifts impacting weight, energy, brain fog, libido, cycles, and confidence in your body.

You’ll need a smartphone (or laptop) with reliable internet, a yoga mat, and a small open space where you can move on camera. A tripod is highly recommended so I can clearly see your form. During sessions, I’ll demo movements and give real-time feedback.

Sessions and Program Structure

All training sessions are 45 minutes.

The minimum starting package includes 10 training sessions because results require assessment, progression, and consistency—not random one-offs.

We review your health assessment, goals, motivations, and limitations. We also discuss the trade-offs (or “trade-ups”) needed to make movement part of your routine, introduce foundational concepts around metabolic health and strength training, and set up Cronometer for tracking.

Your first fitness session includes a functional movement assessment (squat/hinge, push/pull, core stability) plus a simple aerobic baseline, followed by immediate technique coaching.

Yes. You’ll receive guidance at the end of session or you also use our simple 1-page “Busy Day / Normal Day” routine so you always know what to do without overthinking.

Home or Gym

Yes. Many clients start at home. You don’t need a gym to build strength and consistency.

Great. You can show me what you have (video walkthrough or live tour). Once your foundation is set, we can integrate key machines/tools so you feel confident using your gym.

Yes. Virtual sessions work anywhere with a stable internet connection. We can adapt workouts to hotels, limited space, or minimal equipment.

Equipment

No. We can start with bodyweight. If you want faster progress, I’ll recommend minimal equipment (usually bands and a couple dumbbells).

Yes. I’ll recommend a simple shopping list based on your budget, space, and goals—and teach you how to use it.

Nutrition and Lifestyle Support

Yes. The Start/Restart package includes a Nutrition + Lifestyle session (scheduled at the end of Week 2) and two 20-minute touchpoints afterward for accountability and adjustments.

No. This includes live coaching and nutrition/lifestyle touchpoints for accountability and adjustments between sessions.

They keep momentum. We use them to review tracking, troubleshoot roadblocks, and adjust nutrition/lifestyle habits (sleep, stress, hydration, routines) without taking time away from your training sessions.

Before the touchpoint, you send:

  • your top 3 questions
  • 3 days of Cronometer screenshots/logs
  • brief context (what’s hard, what you’ve tried, what you’ve noticed)

Progress Tracking

No — it’s optional. If you want more precise data, we can discuss body composition testing and best timing during your Start/Restart Strength Call. Otherwise, we’ll use waist-to-hip ratio, BMI, and performance markers.

Safety and Scope

We modify. My philosophy is moving you from “I can’t” to “I can” safely. If something is out of scope (rehab/physical therapy), I’ll tell you directly and refer you out.

Strength training and regular movement are strongly linked with long-term health outcomes. My role is coaching and education—helping you train consistently and safely. Always partner with your medical provider for diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Policies and Logistics

Please reschedule at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations/no-shows are forfeited.

Packages expire 7 weeks after your onboarding session to protect your momentum and results.

Continuing After the First Package

For best results, continue within 7 days to keep momentum.

Yes. If you re-enroll within 7 days, you’ll receive a complimentary 30-minute check-in you can use for anything (training, nutrition, lifestyle, planning).

If there’s a longer gap, a short reassessment session may be required so we can re-baseline safely and rebuild momentum.

Partners and Couples Option

Yes. I offer it for couples or friends who want shared accountability and a structured plan.

Beyond Fitness

Yes. Some clients start with training and then want deeper support for energy, cravings, digestion, stubborn weight, stress, or performance. I offer additional coaching options and data-informed services that we can discuss on your call.

Yes. Many women with PCOS want support beyond workouts. In addition to training, I offer non-medical coaching that can include functional blood chemistry analysis, advanced functional lab testing options that go beyond standard bloodwork, and nutrition/lifestyle coaching (including macros, habits, and stress/sleep support).

We’ll discuss the best next step during your Start/Restart Strength Call.
