Health & Performance Coaching

I have been coaching quite a few clients now and felt that this coaching page, while informative and accurate, didn’t convey what it is I do and can offer in the coaching realm.

So I made some recent edits to this page. Scroll below to find out what coaching at GCH consists of.

My GCH Coaching Philosophy

At Grit City Health, my coaching philosophy focuses on sustainable progress, individualized support, and smart pacing, helping clients build strength, resilience, and confidence in a way that fits their life.

Each plan is tailored to your needs and abilities, guiding you through structured phases of work and recovery while taking small, intentional steps toward your goals. Whether you are looking to improve fitness, prepare for an event, or simply move more confidently every day, I emphasize harmony between building endurance, strength, mobility, and recovery. This is to encourage curiosity, awareness, and adaptability so that every session supports your long-term growth and consistent progress.

How We Work Together

At Grit City Health, coaching is built around YOU! It is also built around flexibility, clarity, and support so I can meet you where you are. We combine in-person and phone sessions with structured guidance through digital platforms, using TrainingPeaks for endurance athletes, Trainerize for general fitness and habit-building, and even a paper calendar for those who prefer a simple 6-week plan to follow. Each plan is customized to your goals and lifestyle, helping you move, train, and build consistency with confidence while staying connected to your coach every step of the way.

”Patrick’s coaching style is patient, adaptive, and custom-tailored to my own personal goals (even as they evolve year after year). I could not recommend him enough to anyone from someone just trying to get off the couch to be more active to experienced athletes looking to compete at the highest levels.”

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.

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

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.
