Frequently Asked Questions
What makes you a “Holistic” Fitness coach?
My coaching philosophy is holistic because I believe in prioritizing recovery and adapting programming to work with your body—not against it—avoiding pain and injury. True health, strength, and performance come from strengthening your mindset, managing stress, and challenging the limiting beliefs you hold about yourself. I view your body, mind, and physiology as one cohesive unit, working together to achieve your goals.
Does Coach Jazz only coach women?
NO, Coach Jazz coaches women and men of all ages. Coach Jazz also coaches teenagers to maximize their speed and power for sports performance.
How many sessions do I need per week?
To achieve significant results towards a minimum 3 sessions per week is recommended. If you are ready to radically change your life, I recommend one of the ‘Live Strong’ programs. If you are committed to your running goals, one of the ‘Run Strong’ programs would be best. Not ready for a program? You cane send me an email to inquire about purchasing individual sessions.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, or Debit directly through the Jane App. Billing for the programs occurs once a month. Billing for individual sessions occurs by the end of that business day. Progress takes time, consistency, and commitment which is why all programs require a minimum time investment. Live Strong programs require a minimum of 6 months. Run Strong programs require a minimum of 3 months.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require a minimum of 24 hours' notice for all session cancellations. Cancellations made within 24 hours or any no-shows will be charged the full session fee. For cancellations outside the 24-hour window, please use the booking site. For program session cancellations, the session must be rescheduled within 30 days if the schedule allows it. If not, then the session will be forfeited.
Do I need a gym membership to train with you in person?
A gym membership is not needed to train with Coach Jazz at Dwell Gym or Omega Health and Fitness. However, if you would like to train at Dwell on your own, my clients receive a discounted rate. Please inquire for more information.
What is the difference between Online Coaching Programs, Virtual Coaching, Private In-Person Coaching, and Semi-Private Coaching?
Online Coaching programs consist of a custom-made program that is created for your unique needs. It is delivered using an app and is best for those who are experienced in the gym, but have plateaued or are too mentally exhausted to make their own progressive program.
Virtual Coaching consists of a one-on-one personal training using the Google Meets platform. This is best for those with at least a moderate amount of fitness experience, but want the convenience of not having to meet at the gym. This options tends to attract clients who have home equipment or a condo/apartment gym.
Private sessions consist of one-on-one coaching at Dwell Gym. This is best for clients who need the accountability or prefer the hands on approach.
Semi-Private sessions is for those who want to train with their partner, spouse, friend, or a family member. This is great for those who have an accountability partner on the same journey or who simply do not like working out alone. Partners are not provided.
How do the Online Coaching Programs Work?
Similarly to the in-person sessions, the Online Coaching programs begin with a comprehensive fitness assessment. This allows us to gather the information needed to create your custom program. It is ideal for this assessment to be done in person, however it can be done virtually. 7 days after your assessment your program will be ready in the app. We build out the program in 4 week blocks.
