FAQ

I have a medical condition.  Can you work with me, given my medical state? 
Almost every single person I work with has a problem with their body.  A bad knee, a bad shoulder, diabetes, high cholesterol, food allergies, asthma…I have seen it all. Almost each person I work with has a medical issue that requires a carefully laid plan which includes exercise, nutrition, supplementation, and medication.  I am willing to talk with anyone who wants to explore making an amazing life trade to keep their better half.  I am not the perfect fit for everyone, but I enjoy looking into each opportunity and investigating the possibilities.

Is this like “Biggest Loser” at all?
Kind of.  The difference is that I am not focused only on weight loss.  It’s not just about how many pounds you lose, it’s about what type of pounds you lose.  I want you to keep muscle (and even add muscle) so that your body will be able to burn more calories on a daily basis long after my work with you is completed.  You will lose weight, and it will be fat that you lose.  Because I’m not making a television show, I don’t have to consider ratings or advertising dollars when working with you.  Therefore, I can work with in you in a way that is healthy and best for you, so you are in position to maintain your new body (or even keep improving it) after our work together is finished (unless the McDonald’s drive-thru becomes your driveway shortly after my departure…always remember that nothing tastes as good as great health feels).

What does your process look like? 
How long will it take?  How much will it cost?

I am a very busy person.  How can you accommodate my lifestyle during my amazing life trade?
I can handle as many health-related details as you see fit while we work through keeping your better half.  For the duration of time you hire me, I am on call 18 hours of each day.  Need me to arrange your meals and snacks?  Done.  Need groceries purchased or gym equipment installed?  Done.  Need your house cleaned?  Hire someone who cleans houses.   I will help you multiply your time to get your health life on track, but I am not a rent-a-nanny or errand guy.  I will work hard to help you with any facet of your body change that involves food or exercise.  I will work hard daily to make sure your exercise is fun and your meals involve foods you like.  Planning the perfect nutrition and fitness day for you EVERY SINGLE DAY is very hard work. 

Will I get to eat anything good during my life trade?
Probably.  Most of my clients have a cheat meal or cheat day, allowing them to “go to town” a little bit on a goodie or two.  Six days of the week, however, it is imperative to have a laser focus to make sure we execute the daily plan perfectly.  It seems that a slight disturbance at the taste bud level usually turns into progress on the fat-loss level.

I have a hard time with discipline.  How do you deal with that?
The short answer is that I am very big on accountability.  I promise to set up reasonable measures to virtually guarantee your success and develop strategies to help you eliminate behavior that will undermine your success.

The contract we sign will outline certain parameters that you vow to live by and certain duties that I vow to execute.  If need be, we can institute a lie detector test (administered weekly or bi-weekly) to provide additionally accountability.  If you fail the test, I have the right to walk away from our work immediately, which could result in payment being rendered for an incomplete project (details outlined in the contract).  I work with people who want to change their life, and I work hard to provide accountability measures to virtually guarantee their success.  However, if a client decides to throw away three weeks of hard work for a stupid Ding Dong binge, I will not coddle or tolerate those who are willing to undermine their own success and health for a preservative-filled, bear-terd-looking, blubber-producing “treat” that accurately describes the one who ate it.

I started working with Adam two months and 46 pounds ago. Adam is simply AMAZING! My wife and two teenage boys are working with him now as well. It was nice to have the trainer come to my house and work with me one on one. Robert S. Ramsey, MN
