What FitRider Program is right for me?
If you are considering stepping up your own fitness this year, but aren’t sure what is right for you… well then you have found the right blog post! In today’s post I will help you understand the different offerings I have here at Ride Like an Athlete and decide what is the best fit for your individual needs!
Do any of the profiles sound like you?
“I want workouts that I can do on my own time and are specific to riders, but I want to keep costs down. I am new to workouts and youtube is overwhelming! I think I need just a little bit of help as I dabble”
I hear you on that one! There are literally millions of free workouts out there, and the great news is yes… they are free! But the downside to that is that it is a ton of stuff to sift through. How do you know what workouts are suited to riders? Or what about your specific needs? And how do you make progress? What is holding you accountable to show up and complete them when motivation wanes? That is why I created the Fitrider Library. I have built dozens of workouts and stretch routines that I use with my athletes for riding performance. You still select what you want to do and when, but there is a lot less sifting. The real value here however, is you get text message access to me through the app. If you are feeling stuck or need help with something, I am only a quick message away to help troubleshoot! This is a low cost monthly subscription and I also offer a free trial if you aren’t sure.
“I want structure and I don’t want to have to think about what to do and when. Just tell me what do do every day and I will do it”
Decision fatigue is a very real thing! It’s hard enough to decide what restaurant to go to dinner at… and that is fun and delicious! If you aren’t already super into working out, having to decide what exercises to do and build your own plan AND show up to do it, well it might just be over before you even start. This is why I have several 4 week programs suited to different common riding issues. Now, this isn’t going to be perfect, there are suggested weights here and they may not be 100% tailored to you, but that is why you also have text message access to me so we can help you pick the right weights or make changes based on your personal needs. You just log in every day to the app, you see the list under “Things to do today” and then you simply do them! No decisions required!
“I don’t have access to a gym and I don’t have any equipment”
Have no fear! I have created a 4 week program like I referenced above, that uses mini-bands. I ship the bands to you personally so within a week… you have your very own private gym! You would be surprised what a great workout you can get from bands and the program tells you what to do, when, and you have text message access to me. This is also perfect for if you travel because the bands don’t take up any more space in your luggage than a bar of soap. At the end of your program you keep your bands and have gained a lot of knowledge of exercises that help you Ride Like an Athlete
“I want my best chance at succeeding at my fitness goals, but I need a lot of help and I am worried about sticking with it when thing’s don’t go according to plan”
A custom plan and coaching package is likely your best bet here! Yes, its definitely the most expensive thing I offer, but I can also say with 100% confidence that the athletes who have bought this package have been the most successful in achieving their goals. This is because you and I spend a lot of time together, we start with a long session (90 minutes) where we benchmark your current fitness, discuss goals and get an idea for what you like and will be easiest to stick to. Then after you get your custom workout program, we meet every two weeks to ensure the workouts are working for you, and make modifications to your program to better suit the changes and challenges that pop up along the way. This is purchased as a 12 week package (so its longer than the other options) and after that is finished you have the option to continue on with customized program and coaching at a reduced monthly rate. There are limited spots for this, but if you click the link below and you can check out… there is a spot for you! And if not or you aren’t sure if you are ready for this package, contact us and I will get on a call with you to see if we are a good fit or I will add you to the wait list.
“I like the idea of meeting one on one, but I need something more budget friendly”
My friend, the ClassPass is right for you! I offer group classes several times a week. This isn’t like your local yoga or HIIT classes, its more like small group personal training. We max out at 10 people (though usually we have 2-3) and we follow a periodized strength training program. We are live so you get modifications and form corrections as we go, and because it is NOT a cardio class, we have rest breaks between sets where we can chat about the other things on your mind. Its a great opportunity to get coaching but at a significant discount. You also get to socialize with other equestrians and we have found that accountability is super high. In fact my current attendees have been showing up nearly every day for over a year now! This is a monthly membership and you can cancel anytime if your circumstances or needs change. In my humble opinion, this is the best value program that I offer.
Still not sure what is right for you? Send me an email and we can set aside some time to chat to figure out what will best suit your needs. I cant wait to get to know you!
