FAQs

Does this program include coaching?

Not directly. I do provide detailed instructions and notes for each exercise as well as demonstration videos but you will not have access to me for questions or coaching. If you want access to me along with a program, feel free to reach out to me for custom program design and coaching services!

Do the exercises change at all?

The exercises stay the same for 4 weeks and then some are progressed to similar but slightly more challenging variations for the remainder of the program. This consistency in practicing similar exercises for several weeks at a time is important for progressive overload and long term gains!

How much training experience do I need for this program?

This foundational program can be used by beginners and more advanced lifters alike. The workouts are written in a way that makes it perfect for someone starting out and I give instructions on how to modify it to suit a more advanced lifter as well.

How long do I have access to the program?

Train Heroic gives you access to this program for 1 full year. During that year, you can repeat this program as many times as you'd like :)

What if I have to modify the program or swap out an exercise?

You can easily make changes to the program or swap out an exercise in the app! Upon purchase, I'll send you a program guide that shows you exactly how to do it. Plus, I try to suggest substitutions in the exercise notes for certain movements as well.
