A Fresh & Effective Way of Thinking.
“Not your run of the mill, generic fitness program. A real, well thought out view of everyday people and what they really need. This is the first time I’ve really felt part of a fitness tribe. Not one that wants to know how much I bench or whether I’m hitting my macros but one that wants to help me move better, breathe better and generally live better. Great insights into real world health issues, probable cause and intuitive solutions. I really get this way of thinking and the importance of movement. Break away from the weightloss/fat loss struggle and unlock your inner athlete to add these as a by product of becoming awesome. Great work guys, top work.”
John Withinshaw, everyday athlete.

Q: Who is Strength Matters Coaching for?
A: Strength Matters Coaching is for women and men over 30 who want to lose weight, get stronger, and live better—and stay that way for the rest of their lives.
It’s for people who want to…
- Lose weight and body fat
- Build physical strength and confidence
- Transform their relationship with food
- Have more energy for the things they love
- Get results that last
Plus, the program is designed for people with busy schedules.
We work closely with our clients to help them get results, no matter what other craziness is going on in their lives.
We provide you with personal accountability, a structured nutritional program to follow, and a coach to help keep you consistent and on-track.
We don’t give you a crazy diet or exercise program to follow; instead, we help you build habits that will get you results that last forever.
Q: Who is Strength Matters Coaching NOT for?
A: Strength Matters Coaching is not for fitness models, professional bodybuilders, or high-level athletes training for a particular sport.
It’s also not for people who already have all the accountability they need.
If you rarely struggle with staying consistent with your exercise or eating habits, then we’re not a good choice for you.
Q: Will Strength Matters Coaching Work for Me?
A: It depends.
Want to lose weight? Eat better? Feel less stressed? Get more sleep?
If you follow our recommendations and stick with us for the full year then yes, you will get results.
If you participate in Strength Matters Coaching and follow our recommendations, you’ll end up leaner, stronger, healthier, and happier with your body than you ever thought possible.
However, it takes hard work, time, and determination.
Changing your body isn’t easy, but it is possible. For over 10 years we’ve helped over 1,000 clients do all that and more.
Once you make the commitment to get in better shape, we’ll be with you every step of the way. When life pushes you around and difficulties come up, we’ll help you push back.
We’ll stack the deck in your favor and give you every advantage we know of. Over the course of 12 months, you’ll learn everything you need to look, feel, and perform at your best.
That’s our promise.
However, you’ll have to do the work. That’s your part of the bargain.
Stick with us for a year and follow our recommendations. If you don’t get what you’re looking for at the end of the year, we’ll give you a full refund.
Seriously. Every penny. You get to decide if the program was worth it.
Why do we do this? Because we stand behind our work. We know you’ll walk out healthier and happier than ever before.
Q: Do You Do Meal Plans?
A: No, we don’t give out meal plans.
Meal plans and diets aren’t really that useful or sustainable. People often feel like they’re either “on” them or “off” them. They feel like they’ve failed and are beyond hope if they’re not eating perfectly at every meal.
Our approach is completely different: We help you build a set of sustainable habits that will serve you for the rest of your life.
This means you get to choose—with the help of your coach—which foods are best for you, when to eat those foods, and how much to eat of them.
Q: Why Coaching? Can’t I Just Pick Up a Book, or a Magazine? Or Read/Watch Something Online for Free?
A: If you take an honest look at your life—and at the lives of the people you most respect and admire—you’ll notice something interesting.
As human beings, we’re rarely ever transformed by reading more books or articles. Or from watching a documentary. Or from taking a class.
Instead, most transformative change happens through a real relationship with another human being—usually a coach or a mentor.
Think Luke and Yoda.
Sure, you can try another diet book or read a few more articles and watch some videos, especially if you love thinking about exercise and nutrition. If you get great results with those tools, we applaud you.
But if you’re having trouble putting what you know into action, Strength Matters Coaching might be for you.
Q: I’m a Beginner with a Lot of Weight to Lose. Will This Work for Me?
A: Yes. We’ve worked with lots of people who are new to exercise and healthy eating.
Remember, we were all beginners at some point. And at Strength Matters, we do our best to make sure all beginners work at a pace that’s comfortable for them.
Our clients come in all shapes and sizes, are all ages, and come from all different backgrounds.
Q: I’m NOT a Beginner. Will Strength Matters Coaching Work for Me?
A: Yes. Lots of our clients have 5+ years of experience with consistent training and healthy eating. And they still get great results with us. That’s because they’re learning and practicing new skills with their coach, consistently, for a full year. We’ve even helped hundreds of personal trainers get back in shape.
Q: What if I Don’t Have Any Weight to Lose. What if I Want to Focus on Performance?
A: We can do that too. That’s why we have a robust assessment system in place to find your weaknesses.
It’s great that you don’t have a lot of weight to lose. It means you’re starting out with a big advantage.
Of course, lifelong fitness and health is more than losing weight. With Strength Matters Coaching you’ll learn how to maintain a healthy body and mind—for life.
You’ll discover how it feels to be more physically capable, more confident, and stronger—inside, and out.
Plus you’ll develop a new, healthier relationship to food, and exercise. And that’s something fewer than 5 percent of people know how to do.
Q: I’m Interested in Building Muscle. Is This for Me?
A: Yes. We have custom exercise programming and nutrition habits specifically for people who want to gain muscle. Plus your coach will work with you to help you achieve specific body composition goals.
We recommend reading this case study here about how to pack on lean muscle which shows the journey of one of our clients.
Q: Is This for Young People?
A: Absolutely not. We specialize in coaching men and women over 30. We’ve had many clients who are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Q: I Work in the Fitness Industry? Will I Learn Anything from This?
A: Lots of Fitness Professionals entrust us with their training. We also highly encourage working with us so you can see, use and apply the training systems and tactics we use with our clients with yours. We’ve been doing online training a long time, way before it became fashionable and made all the mistakes so you don’t have to.
Q: How Much Does it Cost?
A: We have two coaching pathways:
- Nutrition Coaching
- Fitness and Nutrition Coaching
Prices start at just $99 per month.
Q: Will I Have to Spend a Lot of Money on Food and Supplements?
A: When it comes to food, most clients actually end up saving money on their grocery bills.
This is because they make more informed, careful decisions, eat out less, and spend fewer dollars on processed novelty foods, replacing them with whole, delicious natural foods.
As for supplements, we may recommend a few health-oriented products, based on your unique needs and goals. However, these are completely optional.
Q: Will I Need to Join a Gym?
A: Nope, you don’t have to join a gym to be successful with Strength Matters Coaching. All the exercise programs can be performed at a gym or at home.
If you choose to exercise at home, we’ll give you a few small recommendations for equipment to invest in, including a dumbbell (or two) and perhaps a few other inexpensive things. Don’t worry: You won’t need much at all.
(And if you choose not to invest in any small equipment, that’s fine. The program will still work for you!)
Q: I Live in X Country. Can I Still Participate?
A: Of course. We work with clients in over 67 countries. No matter where you live, we can help.
Here’s just a sample of some of the countries where our clients live:
- USA
- Canada

Q: I Like to… (Run, Bike, Swim, Ski, Walk my Dog, etc). Can I Still Do the Stuff I love While Getting Coaching?
A: Yes! 100%. Keep doing what you love.
That’s the whole point of Strength Matters Coaching—to learn how to eat and exercise in a way that works for you.
Health and fitness should be fun, freeing, and sustainable. It’s about helping you live a fuller life. So yes, if anything, the program will help you do more of the things you love.
Once you get started, your coach will work with you to structure things in a way that works for your lifestyle.
Q: I Have a Few Injuries. Can I Still Join?
A: Yes. However…
We all go through injuries, so we understand where you’re coming from.
With Strength Matters Coaching, we can tailor certain exercises to help fit your needs.
Once you’ve signed up, you’ll simply work with your coach to find some easy and effective alternatives.
If not, we’ll find an alternative solution, or refund your money back.
Q: I Follow a Special Diet (Plant-based, Vegan, Paleo, Intermittent Fasting). Will You Still Work with Me?
A: Yes, we’d love to work with you. The nutrition habits your coach will guide you through are easily customizable.
All you have to do is let your coach know what your dietary preferences/restrictions are and they’ll help you out.
We are very much nutritionally agnostic.
Q: How Long Does the Program Run For?
A: Strength Matters Coaching initially lasts for 12 months. Based on our continued research, we’ve found a full year to be the most effective time period for building the habits necessary for lifelong health and fitness.
Our coaching team is committed to helping you make a life-changing transformation. That’s why we have everyone commit to the program for 12 months.
After that, it’s up to you. Some people have learned the skills needed for lifelong success, while others continue to work with us and have done for over 5 years.
Q: Are Spaces Really Limited?
A: Yes.
We can only accept less than 1 percent of people who express interest in working with us—waiting lists are on average four to six weeks.
Our skills are in high demand.
Q: How do I Increase My Chances of Getting a Coaching Spot?
A: We prioritize all Inner Circle Members on a first-come, first-served basis. The Inner Circle is the best place to start. That way, you can get to know us too before committing financially.
