Hey gang,
Last week I sent out an email to my subscribers, and social media contacts letting them know that there was a new pilot project in the works that was solely for those that are consistent, independent, accountable and coachable.
Well the project is now in full bloom.The programming has begun, the private Facebook group Club Atletico has started and will be sending invites this week. And my two options are on the table!
So ask yourself these questions:
Are you independent enough to train at your gym on your own or with a partner?
Can you follow instructions by reading a program?
Do you understand movement when you see it on a video?
Do you value personal training but expensive costs keep you from pulling the trigger?
And do you enjoy the luxury of training on your schedule, not someone else's?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, you might be a candidate for my Premium Online Performance Coaching, and becoming an exclusive member of our Club Atletico.
On that note;
I’m going to be taking a couple more clients this week for my new premium online performance coaching program.
If you want my help to reach your fitness goals without coming into my gym 2-3 times per week,
this might be perfect for you.
If you’re interested in discussing, reply "I'm in" in the subject line.
Until next time, stay healthy my friends...

At COGO Performance Development I’ve started to grow an area of my business I only really used for my clients abroad. Welcome to a private club for individuals that are much more independent, have great body awareness, can read a program, understand video, and can stay accountable. These are a few of the ingredients that you’ll need to be part of CPD’s Club Atletico; a Premium Online Performance Coaching Platform I’ve started as an aid for those that value cost, time and personalized programming. DM me, message me on Facebook or go to the contact page in my profile and let’s see if you’re a good fit for membership at Club Atletico #cogoperformance #onlinecoaching #personaltraining #yycfitness #privateclub #accountability #selfawareness #onlinetraining #performancetraining #independence #kinesthetic ...

Hey gang,
I'll keep it simple today.
I’m going to be taking a couple of clients on for my new online coaching program.
If you want my help to reach your fitness goals without coming into the gym 2-3 times per week,
this might be perfect for you.
If you’re interested in discussing, reply and let me know.

I have a few simple questions for you to ask yourself which may lead right back to training with me!
Before I ask though, I'm going to talk about an explosion in the fitness industry that's been around and growing for some time now, and that's the online revolution.
What I didn't realize until a few years ago was that I'd been doing similar things with clients I just never thought much of it rather than a good way to share programs with clients abroad. funny story but my first client wasn't even a Calgarian anymore, she'd settled in California for the last 10 years! By the way thanks for the support, Jennifer!
Moving forward I began to improve my systems as well as my approach when troubleshooting with my clients abroad and found it interesting over the years how many clients can be so independent.
I decided to ask for feedback on how I can improve the services, and the words "Videos please" came up. So I jumped on Vimeo! Now I've got almost 300 videos for movement and still counting.
Then it was mentioned that weekly accountability was needed so they don't fall off the wagon. This year I may have improved that with the addition of Voxer, the walkie talkie app; I'll let you know how that works.
I decided to get answers though in regards to why they enjoyed the online aspect, and the vast majority came back with the same two answers; cost, and time. Usually, as it stands my hot personal training hours get booked up fast during the week, so when taking on new clients it's tough to offer them the hours they request. This year we got left with one car due to a bad breakdown, which meant no more 6:30AM clients for the last 5 months!
A couple of the clients I had at that time asked if I can help them in another way so thinking on my feet I offered Online Training. Let's try it out for 12 weeks to give it an honest shot and see where it takes us. Well, 5 months later, and they're still at it and we chat on text, email, phone or sometimes ZOOM sessions to clear up any miscommunications.
I love it! I still maintain great relationships, my gym is still open for the odd cleanup coaching session, and as they mentioned in my survey; their cost to value was great, and they can still train at the hours they wanted. We all win.
Yesterday, a very special client showed up to my door, he's been online for over 3 years and I did not recognize him since we only ever emailed; 30 pounds later and looking FIT! This old man had more spring in his step than some of the youth athletes I train. Congrats to you Eric!
So ask yourself these questions:
Are you independent enough to train at your gym on your own or with a partner?
Can you follow instructions by reading a program?
Do you understand movement when you see it on a video?
Do you value personal training but expensive costs keep you from pulling the trigger?
And do you enjoy the luxury of training on your schedule, not someone else's?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, you might be a candidate for Online Training. Stay tuned for an upcoming Online Pilot Program in the works, there will be an email coming your way very soon! If you can't wait just contact me
As usual, it's been my life's pleasure to keep serving you all, until next time;
Stay healthy my friends!

Always an adventure taking on new clients with new challenges. Every client is looking for an adaptation to achieve, so regardless of their challenges the training has to meet those goals.

Hey gang,
As you can see, there's a little something coming. COGO Fitness + Performance is in the midst of a transition, and for various reasons. After being CFP for so many years and transitioning between facilities, or working for a few employers in the training game I had to have a hard look at my company, my values and what I stand for. I looked at my clients past and present and made a realization in regards to quality of services, or what services I want to apply to my clients for that matter.
Well, I felt it was time to make a change, The company formerly known as COGO Fitness + Performance will have a facelift, a new logo, backend system as well as a brand new name. We will now be called COGO Performance Development. I feel that the new transition represents what I do best, and that inspires clients to perform at their best in all facets of their lives. This starts with foundations and development, this comes with taking my training experiences whether athletic, adaptive, or general fitness and building upon goals, or specifics.
The new brand will be taking on some very specific roles and responsibilities. I will be offering specific services, as well as specific products based on my work.
Services:
-Personal Training
-Semi-Private Training
-Adaptive Sports Training
-Online Performance Coaching
Products:
A quick note, the only products I will be focusing on will be on Training Programs. My programs are sport specific and will demand accountability as you will be on your own once purchased, but will come with plenty of information guiding you throughout the process. Programs are based on
12 - 16weeks depending on the off-season and although you see the sport below, I do work on position specifics as well. Although most teams run their own in-season training, I urge you to also consider the in-season maintenance programs as well.
-Rugby
-Golf
-Hockey
-Long Distance Runners
-BJJ
-Soccer
-Weightlifting
-Powerlifting
-Football
-Tournament Karate
The systems I've developed for building programs have come from training experience in the past, as well as in-depth research when it comes to each of these sports. At the end of the day, I still put science first when it comes to the programming of all athletes.
I look forward to working with you and helping you develop the foundations that will lead to the improved performance of your specific sport and or general life.
Stay healthy my friends... ... See MoreSee Less
