In today’s fast-paced world, achieving your training goals can be challenging. Many people struggle to find the right approach that suits their needs and lifestyle. This is where customized fitness coaching comes into play. With tailored programs and expert guidance, individuals can significantly enhance their Way of Intent journey and attain their goals more effectively. Whether you're looking to improve balance, flexibility and strength, gain self defense capabilities or improve your overall wellness, personalized guidance is designed to help you reach your desired outcomes.
Customized Coaching
Customized coaching adapts to your unique needs, preferences, and goals. Unlike standard workout routines available in magazines or online, personalized coaching offers a tailored approach that considers your current fitness level, lifestyle, and specific objectives. Here are several crucial points to understand how customized fitness coaching can transform your fitness journey:
Tailored Programs: We need to assess your strengths and weaknesses to develop a program that aims for maximum results. This entails establishing a baseline, understanding your life circumstances and prescribing a training approach that fits you.
Expert Guidance: Expert knowledge and support is critical throughout your journey. There are many obstacles to overcome and pitfalls to avoid along the way....having someone thats been on the path before takes away a lot of the guesswork.
Accountability: One of the key benefits of personalized coaching is accountability. Regular check-ins and updates on your progress keep you motivated and committed to your goals. You are less likely to skip sessions when you are answerable to someone else.
Flexibility: Personalized coaching accommodates any fluctuations in your life, such as work commitments or family obligations. This flexibility ensures that your Way of Intent journey remains sustainable and enjoyable.
Motivation and Support: Expert coaching not only push you to do your best but also provide encouragement throughout the process. We celebrate your achievements, big or small, which helps maintain motivation over time.
What You Can Achieve with Customized Coaching
When embarking on a fitness journey with personalized coaching, the achievements can be remarkable. Here are a few tangible outcomes you might expect:
Improved Balance: Personalized coaching emphasizes exercises that enhance stability and coordination, leading to better balance in daily activities and athletic performance.
Greater Functional Flexibility: Customized training plans focus on increasing your range of motion and flexibility, restoring lost ranges of motion reducing the risk of injury.
Increased Awareness: Working with a coach can heighten your body awareness, helping you to understand your movements better and make more informed choices about your traiing regime.
Better Reaction Time: Engaging in specific drills and exercises can improve your reflexes and reaction time, contributing to better performance in sports and quicker responses in self defense.
Lighter Sense of Being: As you progress in your journey, many students report feeling a lighter sense of being, which can be attributed to improved physical health and mental clarity.
More Energy: Regular training boosts your energy levels, helping you to feel more vibrant and ready to tackle daily challenges.
Health Restoration: Personalized coaching can aid in restoring health by addressing specific issues, improving overall wellness, and promoting a balanced lifestyle.
What Does a Full Evaluation Consist of?
The best way to start, reboot or reframe your personal practice is with a Way of Intent full evaluation. The package includes:
Pre-Meet: Prior to our session, I will ask you to share your background, current training regimen, and fitness goals via email. This helps me understand your unique situation and tailor the evaluation to your needs.
Evaluation: During the evaluation phase, I will conduct a thorough interview to discuss your training history and aspirations. I will also observe your current training routines and answer any questions you may have, providing insights based on my observations.
Video Review: After our evaluation, I will create a detailed video that outlines my observations, feedback, and personalized recommendations. This visual format will help you understand the adjustments needed for your training approach.
Check-In: Finally, we will schedule a check-in to assess your progress with the new training strategies. This allows us to discuss how you are adapting to the changes and make any necessary adjustments to keep you on track toward your goals.
Testimonials from Individuals Who Succeeded
To illustrate the transformational power of customized fitness coaching, let’s take a look at some real-life testimonials:
John, Fort Worth, Texas
"I started off training in external styles years ago until I was exposed to the power of real internal power. Now I’ve been training in Yi Chuan with Steve E, and it has been a profound experience. I can tell you firsthand that Steve E. is a gifted teacher with the rare ability to demystify this misunderstood martial art for his students."
Bruce, Surrey, UK
"Having studied a mixture of various martial arts over the years, I was looking for a new teacher who could help me focus more on the internal dynamics of strength generation. Luckily, I found Steve who specializes in exactly that."
Steve is a great teacher. His style is to not only explain the movements of the practice and the feeling state that you need to achieve, but he also tries to put it all into practical language that explains what’s happening and why. I found that this style of explanation works very well for the way that I learn."
The training method that Steve teaches has helped me to build much better internal foundations. I have several years of experience in both external and internal martial arts, and while my original teachers have all been exceptionally talented, Steve has helped me increase my overall body connection greatly. I can feel the difference when I practice now; I move differently and think about power generation differently than before.
Steve’s approach to teaching is very accessible, and anyone at any level of experience can benefit from it. It can be studied as a stand-alone art, but also complements anyone training in another martial art system.
I’m looking forward to continuing this journey and know that it will always be with me in one form or another for my whole life."
Nick, Southampton, UK
"I have been studying Yi Chuan for nearly 20 years now."
I was a good student, as I thought, in that I did what my teacher told me to do. I practiced conscientiously, but I did not ask wider and more challenging questions of myself and my teacher.
It took me some 14 years into this journey before I started asking myself uncomfortable questions about what learning really means in the Yi Chuan context and what the core principles of the art are. My learning up to this point had been a series of skills that I had not been able to link together. Lots of skills, but no hun yuan – and therefore no art. Easier to see and talk about than to do, though!
It was in this context that I met Steve. He was a breath of fresh air, and our conversations and training focused on creating interconnectivity between all parts of myself and between me and the environment. His immense passion for the art and for helping people overcome barriers to experiencing and practicing hun yuan has been incredibly helpful in challenging some of the very unhelpful habits that I had picked up. Intention Fist has been a fantastic resource for supporting my inquiry into the core of Yi Chuan. Not only is he extremely generous with his time and knowledge, but he is also very creative in helping me overcome blocks to accessing this core knowledge."
These testimonials show that no matter your starting point, personalized coaching can effectively help achieve significant fitness goals.
