Distance Based Coaching

**Update**  I am currently not taking on any new online clients.

My Mission:

  My mission as a distance based coach is to help you engineer a competition worthy physique without sacrificing your health.   

  Through my personal experience and unique education, I have proven that a woman can look and feel healthy while also being curvy, lean, and strong.  

  In order to execute my mission, I am determined to help women embrace the process of getting STRONGER through progressive, female specific training and nutrition programming.  Bikini competitions are an excellent way to motivate you and add the powerful incentive needed to execute your goals. 

  The absolutely critical step for success, for most women, is to hire a coach that you not only trust, but also agree with their fundamental fitness principles.

  In case you haven't gotten a chance to read through my blog posts, here are my principals:

 #1 - Develop strength, especially in certain areas (such as the glutes) Strength training is an essential part of transforming your body into a curvy, yet lean masterpiece.

#2 - Train like a woman, because training like a male bodybuilder will make you lose your natural feminine curves.

#3 - Feed your metabolism with an intelligently designed nutrition plan that actually builds your ability to burn excess fat without resorting to starving yourself.

#4 - Satisfy your palate because results are meaningless if you are constantly deprived, socially isolated, and miserable.

#5 - You have nothing without your health.  Building a better body is not a sprint. Your program needs to reflect that your body takes time to change and that attaining your goal should not involve frequent visits to the ER. 

    If you are looking for a program to be handed to you that is generic then you have the wrong coach. I only work with a select few women who are committed to doing things the right way.  If you are looking for results in 2 weeks and workouts that will just beat you to the ground then again, you have the wrong coach.

    My program is intelligent, progressive, and result oriented.
Anyone who has achieved anything athletically has put in their time.  If you are patient and result oriented as well then you have come to the right place!

These pictures were taken between 2007 and 2009.  I was working out but had no idea how to eat right!  I was also in my earlier 20's.

 The first picture was taken at NPC Nationals in 2012.  The second picture was taken at my third bikini competition (Empire Classic in Spokane, WA) where I took home the gold in April 2011.

Read what my client's have to say:

“I started working with Abby after reading (actually, devouring) each and every post on her informative, thoughtful, and “real” blog about workouts, diets, natural beauty and bikini competition.  I had just competed in my first show, and the resulting effects on my body were disastrous.  Abby worked with me to define clear goals for an upcoming bikini competition, and she assured me that my health and confidence were priorities. 

Through her nutritional guidance, I found a healthy and stable relationship with food again. From the beginning I found Abby to be warm, committed, self-assured, and very knowledgeable. I have never felt more confident about my workouts and diet, and I can count on Abby to find answers to all of my questions. 

The variety in her workouts, Abby’s knowledge of posing, and her simple yet results-oriented nutrition program have been top notch. I have noticed significant gains in muscle since I started working with Abby, and I can’t believe how she was able to create so much shape in just nine weeks of contest prep.  

Abby has been my coach for five months now, and I can’t imagine ever letting her go.  She has helped me to regain my confidence in competing, and most importantly, my health.”

“I have been a client of Abby’s over several years.  Abby’s nutrition and training programs are designed around your personal goals.  Abby teaches you how to eat, and train in order to achieve the body and lifestyle you want.  And for those of you who think you must be food deprived in order to live a healthier and leaner life, you're wrong.  Yes, you must commit and be honest, and with Abby’s support it’s easier than you think. 

 Abby showed me how to read labels and introduce healthier foods into my diet. I learned I do not need to spend hours in the gym every day because her training programs are both efficient and effective. I’m literally stronger and fitter now than I ever was.  I have the strength endurance, and confidence to do all the things I had dreamed of for years from pullups to triathlons, and a lean healthy body composition.  For those of you who are searching for a healthier lifestyle and better looking body I strongly encourage you to consider working with Abby.  THANK YOU ABBY!"

          "I had never really done any serious exercise before I was introduced to Abby.  She worked with me to personalize my workouts and even helped me plan out a whole new diet plan. She also really helped me with perfecting my form and technique. Since then the workout intensity has increased and Ive noticed great improvements with my body. Everything looks and feels much more toned and I can feel myself getting stronger with each workout. 

          Thanks to Abby, I look and feel great. I highly recommend Abby to anyone who wants a great workout that will be customized for just you. Shes a great motivator and pushes you to get the results you want. Thank you Abby! (:"

          "I highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for an instructor that truly personalizes your workouts to your specific goals. She not only helped with learning techniques, but also helped us with nutrition. I saw such an improvement in strength over the 5 weeks I worked with her. My tone was much better and I saw significant improvements in my jiu-jitsu workouts, having better grip on the gi and improved strength for some of the sweeps. Thanks Abby! :)"

         "I have been doing kettlebells with Abby for 4 weeks, 3 days/week and I LOVE it. I never heard or saw this technique before and was not sure what to expect. It is a full body workout like you wouldn't believe. I have lower back and neck issues I made aware to Abby before our first session, her response was "well Michelle then you need to be doing this!!" she was right. Abby is obviously so knowledgeable about body awareness we have not skipped a beat because of my back and neck. She is able to help me strengthen my problem areas and improve my posture and teaching me how to be aware of my body. Abby is here to honestly help you reach your goal and for your well being, and that's what makes her such a great instructor. She loves what she is doing and it shows. "
