Intake

📝 Before We Build Your Program

There are three things I need from you before I can write a single thing. Each one gives me information I can't get anywhere else.

1

PAR-Q

A short health questionnaire. Takes two minutes.

2

Build Your Blueprint

Your full intake form. This is where I get to know you: your goals, your lifestyle, your history. Be honest here. The more real you are, the better your program will be.

3

First Check-In

Your baseline. Done the next morning, fasted. Full details below.

About that First Check-In

When you first log into Hubfit, your First Check-In will be waiting for you. Don't fill it out yet. It's meant to be done the next morning, fasted, before any food or water. So when you see it, leave it. Knock it out first thing tomorrow.

Once I have all three, your program will be ready within 72 hours.

When it's ready, here's where everything lives:

In your calendar Your program and macro targets are loaded straight into the calendar in Hubfit, day by day, so you always know exactly what's on.

In The Vault You'll also get a Program Overview that walks through everything in detail. It's uploaded to The Vault in Hubfit, so it's there whenever you need it.

Gear

🎒 What You Need

The basics. You'll need them.

A bodyweight scale to track your weight
A food scale for accurate tracking
A water bottle you'll actually use
A consistent spot for progress photos: neutral background, good lighting

Recommended

A body measurements tape The scale doesn't always tell the full story. Measurements do.
A phone stand or small tripod Makes front, side and back photos on your own a lot easier.

Nice To Have

Meal prep containers and a way to take your food with you Not required, but they make the nutrition side a lot easier.

Baseline

📸 Your First Check-In

Keep it simple, and keep it consistent:

Neutral background, natural light
Front, side and back
First thing in the morning, before food or water
No filters, no angles. Just you.
Same spot, every single week

Measurements are optional, but I recommend them. If you're willing to track them, you'll thank yourself later.

The Program

💪 How It Runs

Training

Your training program is reviewed and updated every 6 weeks. This is intentional. Your body needs time to get good at the movements, to build strength and to actually progress. Changing things too often is one of the most common mistakes people make. Trust the process.

Nutrition

Nutrition is a collaboration. We'll work from either meal plan guidance or macro targets. The choice is yours. Meal plan guidance takes the thinking out of it. Macro targets give you freedom. Both get you to the same place. It just depends on how you work best.

There's also a middle ground. A partial approach gives you structure for most of your day while leaving room for real life: family dinners, meals out, social situations. You hit your macros around them. It's not all or nothing.

For tracking, MyFitnessPal is what I recommend, or you can use the nutrition section built right into Hubfit. Your call.

Weekly Check-Ins

Once we're up and running we'll have a weekly check-in. Quick, five minutes, same questions every week. Nothing like the first one. Just the essentials. But don't skip it. That's how I stay in your corner week to week. Check-ins are Saturday mornings before 10am.

Staying On Track

The most successful clients I work with take time once a week to plan ahead. They look at the week coming, prep their food, map out their workouts. Not because they have to, but because it makes everything easier. When life is planned, it's harder for life to get in the way.
