The frequency of training depends on your goals and current fitness level. I typically recommend 3-5 sessions per week to see optimal results.

It depends on the nature of your injury. I can modify workouts to accommodate most injuries, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider first. Safety is a top priority, and I ensure that all exercises are suitable for your condition. We can work together to create a plan that helps you recover and regain your strength safely.

For in-person training, I provide all necessary equipment. For online coaching, I can recommend affordable and effective home workout equipment.
