Weight Loss Coach in Evanston, IL
I help people in Evanston lose weight in a way they can keep up with. No crash plans, no living on lettuce. Something that survives a real week.
Most of my Evanston weight-loss clients have done the extreme thing before. It worked for a month, then real life showed up and it all came back. We do it differently: changes you can hold onto, stacked on each other, with lifting in the mix so you lose fat instead of muscle.
It fits your life
We train at your place around your schedule, and we sort the eating out without banning everything you enjoy. Slower, maybe. It’s also the version that stays gone.
How most of my Evanston clients found me.
They signed up somewhere, went a handful of times, and drifted off. When I ask why, it’s almost always one of these.
The gym was a hassle
Driving over, waiting for a rack, getting self-conscious in a crowd. It adds up to enough friction that most people quietly stop showing up.
So I come to you.The plan wasn’t yours
A printout or an app that a few thousand other people got too. It ignored your bad knee, your travel weeks, and what you actually wanted out of this.
I write your program after I’ve watched you move.Nobody watched your form
No corrections, no progression, no one to answer to. By week three the motivation runs out and you’re back where you started.
I’m there every session, and I answer my own phone.You got hurt
Pushed too hard too soon, tweaked a back or a shoulder, and spent two months undoing it.
I’d rather go slower and have you still training next year.How we’ll work together.
Nothing complicated. Here’s what the first few weeks actually look like.
We start with an assessment
First time we meet, I watch how you move, ask what hurts and what you’ve already tried, and get clear on what you’re after. No real workout yet.
I write your program
Then I build it by hand, around what I saw. It changes as you do, but it’s never something I handed to anybody else.
We train
At your place, the studio, or over video when you’re traveling. I’m watching your form, adjusting the load, and keeping you honest.
We adjust as you go
Every few weeks I re-check and change what isn’t working. That’s how you keep making progress instead of stalling out.
In their words.
