"My workouts, nutrition coaching and daily habits are all there, and he's checking in and adjusting my plan as I progress." · Jennifer, Highland Park, TX (Google review)
This isn't another fitness app. It's me, coaching you.
You've downloaded the apps and tried the programs. Most give everyone the same workouts, chosen by an algorithm. They work for a week or two, until a business trip, a busy stretch at work or a full family calendar gets in the way, and no one notices you've stopped.
With me, every program is custom. I personally create your training around your goals, schedule, equipment and injury history, and I adjust it as your life changes. The Energy 4 Life app is simply where your plan lives and where we stay connected. I review your form, follow your progress and check in when you go quiet, so you're never on your own.
I'm trained through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the Cooper Institute in biomechanics, and I'm an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Transformation Specialist, Certified Nutrition Coach, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Strength and Conditioning Coach and Metabolic Interval Training Specialist.
How online personal training works with me
Custom programming: Every workout is created by me, for you, around your goals, schedule, equipment and injury history, with a video demonstration for every exercise.
Custom nutrition plan: Built around your goals, your schedule and the way you live, by a Certified Nutrition Coach. Choose a detailed meal plan I create for you, with full recipes and a grocery list, or something simpler, like a photo of your plate. I review everything and adjust as you go.
Everything in one place: Your workouts, meals, habits, sleep and progress live in the Energy 4 Life app, synced with Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal and Withings smart scales.
Direct access to me: Private text and video messaging for form checks, questions and support. I reply every day, usually within 2 to 3 hours, and always within 24 hours.
Coaching that adapts: Weekly check-ins and progress reviews, so your plan changes as your life does.
Built for busy professionals who travel
If you run a business, lead a team or live out of a suitcase half the month, you don't need more information about fitness. You need it handled. Your plan is built around the hours you actually have, with workouts that fit a hotel gym, a home gym or a few feet of floor space, and I adjust it before every trip so a travel week never means starting over. One coach, one plan, no decisions left to you at the end of a long day.
The 4Life Method, online.
This is more than online fitness coaching. It's the same lifestyle transformation program I coach in Dallas homes, delivered entirely through the app. Mindset, nutrition and movement work together, and that's where real transformation happens.
Mindset: Your "why" and the daily habits that keep you showing up long after motivation fades.
Nutrition: A personalized plan built around your kitchen and your schedule, so your energy stays steady.
Movement: Functional strength and mobility, so you move well with less pain and stay strong for life.
Transformation: When all three work together, results stop being temporary. They become who you are. Text link: See how the 4Life Method works
Most clients feel the difference in 2 to 4 weeks, see it in 8 to 12 and build the foundation for lasting change by 6 months.
Your investment
Individual: $620 / month
Couples: $950 / month
Everything is included: your training and nutrition plans, the app, weekly reviews and direct access to me.
Prices are per month on the 6-month program, the one I recommend. The 12-month program saves another 5%: $585 a month for individuals and $900 for couples. After your program, continue month to month at the same monthly rate.

Online coaching for couples
One coach for both of you, a program built for each of you and meals that work for the whole household. I build each partner's training and nutrition around their own body and goals, so one of you can chase strength while the other chases fat loss, and dinner still comes out of the same kitchen. You keep each other accountable, and I'm checking in on both of you every week. $950 a month for the two of you on the 6-month program.
Train on your own terms
Two self-paced programs, built by me and run by you. Each one stands on its own.
The 21-Day 4Life Ignition, $47 one time: Three weeks of home workouts and a daily message from me. The easiest first step.
4Life Digital Membership, $149 a month: My year-round training program in the app, with recipes and a weekly meal plan. Month to month. $249 for couples.
Live in Dallas?
If you'd like me training you in person, 4Life Hybrid Training combines 60-minute in-home sessions with coaching in between.
Online personal training questions
How do you check my form if you're not there?
Every exercise in your plan comes with a video demonstration. You can send me a short video of any exercise through the app, and I'll review it and send back clear corrections, so you train with confidence and protect your joints.
How do you keep me accountable?
Your workouts, nutrition and habits are tracked in the app, so I can see how your week is going. You'll have a weekly check-in and progress review, and if you go quiet, I'll reach out. You're never just a login.
Can online personal training help me lose weight and get toned?
Yes. Most people come to me wanting to lose weight, and what they really want is to lose fat and feel strong again. We work on both at once through body recomposition: strength training that builds and keeps lean muscle, nutrition built around your life and daily habits that make it last. I track your photos, measurements, strength and energy along with the scale, because when you lose fat and gain muscle together, the scale alone won't show you how far you've come.
Is the Energy 4 Life app just another fitness app?
No. It's where your coaching with me lives.
I create your workouts and meal plan for you alone, review everything you log and reply every day.
The app keeps us connected. I'm the one coaching you.
Is online personal training as effective as training in person?
It can be, when it's truly one-to-one. What creates results is a plan built for you, consistency and someone keeping you accountable. You get all three: I build your plan, check your form on video and stay in touch with you.
Is online coaching right for me if I'm new to exercise or have an injury?
In many cases, yes. As a Corrective Exercise Specialist, I start your plan with your experience level, your injury history and how your body moves, and I check your form through video. If you'd benefit from hands-on coaching first and live in Dallas, 4Life Hybrid Training may be the better start. I'm not a doctor, so please check with your physician first if you're under treatment.
How much does online personal training cost?
4Life Online Coaching starts at $585 a month for individuals and $900 for couples on the 12-month program. The 6-month program, the one I recommend, is $620 and $950 a month. After your program, continue month to month. Everything is included: your training and nutrition plans, the app, weekly reviews and direct access to me.
What happens at the complimentary consultation?
It's a phone conversation of about 30 minutes. We talk about your goals, your lifestyle, your schedule, your injury history and what's gotten in the way before. I'll explain how the 4Life Method would work for you and recommend the right plan. There's no cost and no obligation.
Your coach, wherever you are.
Every partnership begins with a complimentary consultation. Tell me where you are and where you want to be, and we'll build your online personal training plan to get you there.
