Frequently Asked Questions

What does “First Call Out” mean?

The "first call out" refers to the first wave of competitors called out by the judging panel to present their physiques within each category or weight class. Being a part of this group is a good thing, often indicating top placement at a physique competition.

First Call Out Fitness has roots in bodybuilding, and we apply these principles to help clients like you achieve goals that may have nothing to do with bodybuilding or competing.

Do you only work with bodybuilders?

Definitely not. We work with everyone!

Whether you want to compete in a show, train for an Ironman, or dominate the pickleball court, we can help you do it.

We recognize that everyone falls on different points along the "fitness spectrum" so we will work with you to achieve only the goals you want for your own body.

Who is your typical client?

Many of our clients have an idea of where they want to be. Some have been trying for a long time to get there themselves. Others have bits and pieces of knowledge, but simply don’t know how to piece it all together. That’s where we can help.

Our client team is diverse in terms of geography, age, gender, and experience level. From stay-at-home moms to college students to corporate leaders and healthcare workers, you could probably find someone you can identify with, who has achieved success on our team.

More women choose to work with us however because of the simple, yet comprehensive approach we take to troubleshooting functional issues like gut health and hormones.

How long do clients stay? How long does it take to achieve my goal?

Our average client tenure is at least 6 months, but many clients have been on the team for 5, 7, or 10+ years. Your timeline would depend on the intensity of your nutrition and training. For example, competition clients who need to be in condition within 12-16 weeks require rigorous preparation, whereas a mother of three working full-time while seeking to control her Type-2 Diabetes may need a year or more.

Regardless of your goal, timeline, and obstacles, First Call Out Fitness can help you navigate the ups and downs of your journey so you reach the finish line as quickly as possible.

What is your coaching philosophy?

First Call Out Fitness aims to apply bodybuilding-based techniques to help anyone along the spectrum of fitness through Empathy, Education, and Support.

Starting with the initial consult, client needs are heard and used to create programs custom to each individual. Changes are made based on client feedback so if something isn’t working, we listen and work with you to figure out a better path.

Our goal is to enable you to optimize your fitness around any situation in your future, through knowledge and application. Strict diets don’t last forever, so we seek to educate you to make the best choices possible in all situations to meet and maintain your fitness goals.

How does online coaching work?

We coach clients online by providing clear and precise directions in written programming coupled with 24/7 support via e-mail, text, phone, and social media. Clients “check in” at least 1-2 times per week so program adjustments can be made based on their feedback.

This high level of personalized support and attention is why clients today prefer online coaching versus traditional personal training sessions in a commercial gym or boutique studio.

Do you offer Personal Training?

First Call Out Fitness does not offer in-person training. However, training is monitored closely and coached via video submissions where form can be analyzed and adjusted to ensure client safety and progression.

What's the difference between your program and what I’ve already tried on my own?

Well, directly put - whatever you’ve done on your own or with another program hasn’t worked, which is why you are here.

This isn’t simply a “program” or a plan. It’s a relationship that will enhance your life.

Most programs or coaches provide meal plans, macros, a Trainerize workout and expect you to achieve goals via a weekly check-in. That doesn’t work and hasn’t worked for you because you’ve got a challenging career, a growing family, business travel, and no time.

First Call Out Fitness creates a customized system which includes nutrition, training, cardio, supplementation, lab work, and the mental and emotional communication and support you need to break free of patterns that keep you stuck.

You know what to do but you can’t seem to put it all together - and that’s what we will do for you so you can finally succeed for good.

Do you offer any discounts?

We don’t offer discounts. We deliver results.

First Call Out Fitness is a premium service which takes the fragmentation and guesswork out of your approach to health and fitness.

Your investment will depend on the depth of support you need to have zero anxiety or worry - and peace of mind does not come at a discount.

I want to cancel my subscription. How do I do that?

Please give us a 30-day notice in advance of your next bill date and we will happily get the cancellation process going for you. Once your billing has been cancelled, we will send an email confirmation to you.
