Human Mode Coaching
Small Steps, Lasting Change

Formerly called Health Coaching, Human Mode offers a supportive, goal-oriented approach designed to help you build lasting habits. With a focus on realistic, sustainable shifts, this mode helps you take manageable steps toward better nutrition, increased movement, and more intentional recovery. Ideal for those who may not see themselves as athletes but want to prioritize their well-being.

Athlete Mode Coaching
Training to Be Strong, Adaptable, and Ready for Anything

It’s not just about FTP or PRs—it’s about building a resilient, capable body that works in the real world. This mode supports athletes looking to incorporate strength, cross-training, and all-around athleticism into their training. Whether you’re racing or just want to feel more durable, this is where well-rounded performance is built.

Specialty Mode Coaching
Event-Focused or Sport-Specific Training with Purpose

This mode is designed for when you’re building toward something big—a race, goal, or personal challenge. Specialty Mode includes structure, intensity, and focus, but always with the understanding that your training should support your life, not take it over.
- Harmony matters more than balance.

Big Picture, Week to Week: Using the Modes Over Time

Your training isn’t one-dimensional—and your coaching shouldn’t be either. The three-mode framework allows you to shift your focus based on what season of life or training you’re in.

Macro Cycle (Year or Season View):
You might begin the year in Human Mode (working on building some base fitness, relationships, and self reflection), rebuild in Athlete Mode (building up in a sustainable manner with some strength training or cross training) , then enter Specialty Mode (to prep for an event, crescendo, or key trip) —before cycling back for some recovery, repair, or transition.

Micro Cycle (Weekly View):
Even in a single week, your schedule might include:
🧍 - 2 Human Mode days (mobility movement, rest, recovery, lifestyle, and relationship focus)
🏃 - 2 Athlete Mode days (cross training, easy endurance, or strength-focused sessions)
🎯 - 2 Specialty Mode days (intensity, intervals, key sessions, or group rides/runs/activities)
🔁 - 1 Float Day—this shifts based on your current goals and mode. Different parts of the month or year it might be a third Human/Athlete/Specialty Mode day. Stressful work week? Make it a Human Mode day and restore with the ones you love. Sunny day and feeling antsy? Get outside and reconnect with why you train in the first place. The day is yours!

This approach keeps your training aligned with your life—not in conflict with it.

Your First Step – Exploratory Coaching Session

Not sure which coaching mode is the best fit for you right now? This 50-minute exploratory session is designed to help assess your goals, movement habits, and life rhythms so we can determine the coaching mode—or combination of modes—that will support you best.

💡 Your first session is just $88.

During this session, we’ll explore:
✔️ Your current fitness level, lifestyle, and movement habits
✔️ What you’re hoping to improve—whether that’s building better routines, reducing stress, gaining strength, or preparing for an event
✔️ Which coaching mode (or mix) will align with your goals and life season

After this session, you’ll have clarity on your best next step:

🧍 Human Mode Coaching – If your focus is on health, energy, and long-term habits. This mode supports recovery, stress management, and overall well-being through consistent guidance on nutrition, movement, sleep, and sustainable shifts.

🏃 Athlete Mode Coaching – If you're looking to build strength, consistency, or athleticism across sport and life. This path blends structure with flexibility to help you train smarter and feel more capable in whatever you do.

🎯 Specialty Mode Coaching – If you're preparing for a specific race, challenge, or season. This is a structured, timeline-driven path built to help you perform with clarity and confidence—without sacrificing your life outside of training.

The goal of this session is to find the right mode for where you are now—and what you’re working toward next. Whether you focus on one mode or move between them over time, you’ll leave this session with a clear direction and an action plan.

Looking for a One-Time Session Instead?

If you’re not ready to dive into a coaching program just yet, but still want expert insight, clarity, or a second set of eyes on your training—single coaching sessions are a great way to start.

These 50-minute sessions are designed to support you with focused, personalized guidance when you need it most. Whether you're preparing for a big event, adjusting your plan, using a training platform like TrainerRoad or Zwift, or just feeling a little stuck—they’re a no-pressure way to move forward with confidence.
