The process for getting healthy has a bad rap.
If we listen to the experts, our perfect plan should look something like this…
Oh, and you also have regular life obligations to fit in there somewhere.
A job that requires you to be at your best while navigating family needs and the “new normal” that comes with a global pandemic.
Piece of cake.
The perfect way to get healthy may sound good in theory, but it’s just not practical. And if we can’t do things perfectly, is it even worth trying at all?
I’ll miss a workout, then it could become a week or more.
I always end up slipping into old patterns when something happens beyond my control.
I keep hitting walls, but can’t ignore this anymore.
If things aren’t perfect, I tend to say ‘”forget it.”
But here’s the thing.
Perfect is only perfect if you do it.
And someone else’s idea of perfect might be ok for them, but wildly unrealistic for you.
Perfect for YOU takes your life into account:
Your goals – both in health and fitness (I want to lose 20 pounds) and the way you like to enjoy life (I want to eat the same meal as my family each night)!
It’s also flexible in a way that allows you to continue to make progress even when the inevitable stresses and surprises pop up.
So we can listen to the experts and try to do their version of “getting healthy…”
Probably fail after 2 days like we’ve done before, and then give in to the idea that getting healthy just isn’t possible for you right now.
You’ll try again later when life settles down.
We can be honest that life isn’t going to “settle down.”
Instead of relying on the expert’s idea of a perfect plan, we can build a sustainable, perfect-for-YOU plan that looks at getting healthy like a dial, not a switch.
By shifting our thinking from “all or nothing” to “always something,” making progress can immediately feel less overwhelming. No matter life’s circumstances, there’s always something we can do.
And customizing your priorities allows you to laser focus on things will make the biggest impact as you balance your goals, your lifestyle, and the things that bring you joy (like chocolate!).
Sound like a superpower?
Well, it sort of is.
But the good news is that you don’t need to be bitten by a radioactive spider or injected with super serum to bring these powers to life.
You already have all the tools you need. You just need someone to show you how to maximize them.
With Nerd Fitness Coaching, you’ll have a guide on the side to help you:
Together, you’ll collaborate with a Coach on structured, incremental habit changes across fitness, nutrition, and mindset.

As we strive for our own version of perfect, one of the hardest considerations is mastering the push and pull: the balance of hitting your goals and keeping up with life.
Knowing when to scale up and push yourself, when to stay the course, and when to give yourself permission to dial down is the secret sauce to lasting change.
With a Coach, that guesswork no longer has to take up space in your brain.
Your job is to focus on taking action each day and communicate about any challenges.
Our job is to meet you where you are, make any necessary adjustments, and continue customizing your perfect plan over time.
Your Coach has a 50-foot-view of the work you’ve done and where you want to go.
They know the challenges you’re up against, they can see when you’ve been consistently crushing workouts or tasks, and they know the path.
Whether you want to build a plan for strength, weight loss, or just want to have more energy for daily life, we got you, and we’ll show you the way.
He thought he needed to eat foods he didn’t like and get a gym membership to achieve his goals, but under Coach Justin’s guidance, he went from Peter Parker to Spider-Man starting with ONLY bodyweight exercises at home and enjoying a nutritional strategy that kept his food preferences in mind.
Radioactive spiders: who needs ‘em?
After trying dozens of diets and popular (but generic) fitness plans, Coach Staci focused on an approach Emily LOVED (strength training!) and stuck with, prioritizing consistency over perfection.
Now over 100 pounds down (!), Emily’s crushing handstands, a pro at meal planning, and still working with Staci on finding out what else her new body can do.
Her past efforts to lose weight were derailed when life got crazy, and with a new kid in the mix, those disruptions were now a given!
With help and accountability from Coach Jules, Sarah made incremental adjustments to her nutrition and shifted her mindset about what a workout routine “should” be. The changes worked for her busy life, allowing her to surpass her initial goal weight (!), and Jules continues to help Sarah adjust the dial to keep making progress.
While their starting points and goals may have been completely different, they (and our other successful clients) share one important thing in common:
They approached the Coaching relationship with an open mind for collaboration, experimented with different types of skills to find what worked best, and built a structure uniquely their own that struck a balance between “regular life” and getting healthy.
Along the way, they learned when to lean in and push themselves and when to have patience and scale things to fit their life’s circumstances.
They trusted their Coach to remove the guesswork and hold them accountable, and now they’ve each surpassed their initial goals and are pushing the limits of what they thought was possible!

In-person trainers can cost anywhere between $60-$150+ per hour – based on a wide variety of experience levels, gym overhead, and location.
Training with them just twice per week in a gym means you’re shelling out at least $500/month, with experienced coaches coming in at over $1,000 per month (or $10,000+ for the year!).
Plus, many of these gym training sessions don’t address your nutrition or your mindset challenges related to long-term change.
