FAQ’s Program Design
Do I need equipment for program design?
Having equipment is not necessary but in order to really see and feel the benefits of my program design, having some type of resistance is ideal. That can be resistance bands, dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, cable machines, swiss balls, bosu’s etc.
Do you do in person assessments?
I sure do! This is my bread and butter, baby! I do assessments out of an amazing facility called Arrive in NYC.
What is the payment structure for program design?
Clients pay by macrocycle. A macrocycle entails 4 programs with each program lasting 4 weeks totalling to 16 week long cycles.
Why 4 months of training at a time?
Progress takes time. I design my programs in 4-month cycles to allow for structured progression, focusing on strength, mobility, and longevity. This periodization ensures you build a solid foundation, avoid plateaus, and see sustainable results—without burnout. Each phase builds on the last, so you move forward with purpose, not guesswork.
How often will you check in with me?
I check in with you weekly via email and once a month via Zoom.
Do I have to pay by macrocycle?
Ideally, yes, because it helps create more consistency. But please reach out with questions or concerns regarding your personal situation and I’m happy to do my best to accomodate!
FAQ’s Postural Assessment
How long are the assessments?
Virtual and In-Person Posture Assessments are 1.5-2 hours.
What is a plumb-line?
A plumb line is a string or rope that hangs from the ceiling or doorway. It dissects your body in left and right halves and front and back halves, so I can see the imbalances between those areas. I will virtually set up one on my end for virtual assessments.
Is postural assessment meant to only happen once?
Yes. We do assessment once and then do a 20-30 min follow-up assessment 6-8 weeks later, no additional charge. If more work is needed or desired, we move into program design options.
How long are the stretching and mobilization programs?
Typically it is 20-30 min to be done once to twice a day for 6-8 weeks. Although, everyone’s program is unique and based on the information I collect from your plumb line and movement assessment.
What is entailed in the stretching & mobilization program?
These programs use a variety of strengthening exercises, stretches and spinal mobilizations to improve your posture.
Will you check my progress?
I check in with clients weekely via email.
Do I need equipment for the posture assessment programs?
If you do an assessment with me, I will create a program that utilizes just your body weight, or will give you all the details you need for equipment to purchase.
How do I know if my posture needs improving?
Everyone can benefit from improved posture. It is how we begin and end movement and is a result of repetitive movement. If you want to stand taller, stand prouder, or diminish chronic or acute pain, improving posture will help and can help discover the root cause.
