Athlete Mode

What Is Athlete Mode Coaching?

Athlete Mode Coaching is about building a strong, adaptable body that performs well in the real world—not just on paper. Whether you're training for your next cycling or running event, staying consistent through a busy season, or simply wanting to feel more athletic in your everyday life, this mode helps you train smart, recover well, and stay durable.

It’s not about chasing a perfect number—it’s about being ready when it counts.

Coaching here is personal. We meet you where you are, adjust for life’s curveballs, and build consistency without crushing you. You’ll get structure, yes—but also support, flexibility, and feedback that fits.

You can expect:

• Custom Training Frameworks: Built around your goals, lifestyle, and current fitness

• Flexible Program Options: Choose from 6- or 16-week plans, available in TrainingPeaks or printable formats

• Check-Ins That Matter: Light text/email support with optional sessions to review, reset, or ramp up

• Adaptable Progression: Your training evolves with you—because your life isn’t static, and neither are your goals

Who Is Athlete Mode For?

You don’t have to “feel like an athlete” to benefit from Athlete Mode—you just have to want to move better, feel stronger, and keep showing up.
This coaching path might be for you if you’re:

• A cyclist, runner, or multi-sport athlete looking for structure and guidance

• A busy person juggling training, work, and life

• Someone wanting to add strength and variety to their sport-specific training

• A weekend warrior who wants to stay healthy and consistent year-round

Why Work With a Coach?

A coach provides more than just a plan. At Grit City Health, we’re here to guide, encourage, and help you stay consistent:

• Clarity and Direction: Understand not just what to do, but why it matters for your goals.

• Real-World Adjustments: Plans that fit your lifestyle and adapt to setbacks or surprises.

• Personalized Support: A partner in your progress who celebrates your wins and helps you overcome challenges.

Training consistently can be tough alone. With a coach, you’ll stay on track and build progress that lasts.

Are You an Athlete?

At Grit City Health, we believe athletes aren’t defined by medals or podiums—they’re defined by their mindset and drive to grow. Using an athlete’s framework can help you make sustainable progress, balance rest and relationships, and avoid burnout—all while keeping the joy in what you love to do.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress and consistency.

Do you:

• Exercise regularly, even when it’s challenging?

• Look for ways to improve your skills, performance, or enjoyment in your favorite activities?

If you answered yes, here’s the truth: You’re an athlete.

Whether you’re preparing for a race, staying consistently active, or aiming to build healthier habits, my coaching meets you where you are and adapts to your needs. Together, we’ll set achievable goals, anticipate potential challenges, and create a personalized plan tailored to your unique priorities.

Working with a coach is about more than accountability—it’s about regardability. It’s a partnership that fosters mutual respect, support, and collaboration to help you thrive. I walk alongside you on your journey, offering expertise, encouragement, and a guiding hand as you navigate your path toward progress and well-being.

Getting Started

Your First Step – Coaching Intake Session - $88

The first step in your Health or Performance Coaching journey is a 50-minute intake session designed to explore your goals, training history, and the commitments you’re ready to make. This session provides immediate value, whether you continue with coaching or use the insights to guide your own training.

After this session, you have few clear paths:

✅ Self-Coached Athlete's Plan Review
If you feel confident using the tools and strategies we’ve discussed, your intake session will serve as a Self-Coached Athlete’s Plan Review. You can take these strategies and work independently, knowing you’re equipped to move forward. Need another check-in later? Just book a follow-up session anytime. If you know this is what you are looking for in advance, this is an option to book. If at anytime you want to add more coaching or plans, you can do that at any time.
