THE OPTIMAL
COACHING SYSTEM
FOR GROWTH

Having a private coach come to your home or meet you online is the best way for you to free yourself from endless cycles of weight gain/loss, anxiety around your self image and develop the knowledge and confidence you need to make the right choices.

Our team of yoga therapist, physical trainers, coaches and nutrition specialist guide you towards increase awareness, autonomy and freedom. Each session starts with a check in where you share your recent victories and challenges, then follows up with a quick look at optimizing your nutrition with a focus on mindful eating practices before diving right into your exercise program of the day.

Before you know it, the session is over and you’re discussing your plan for the next few days on our training App, where your coach will continue to track your progress throughout the week.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HIRING A COACH

Full Health & Fitness Assessment

Initial meeting with a Certified Personal Trainer to discuss your goals and experience with fitness in general

Goal Setting

Clarification of your goals whether you want to lose 15 pounds, gain muscle mass, muscle definition, improve flexibility, or simply feel and look good, etc.

Sound Strategy

Recommendations on where to start and implementation of incremental changes that will get you where you want to be

Workout Program & Accountability App

A new custom designed program every 3-5 weeks to keep you challenged and achieve the desired transformation

THE RIGHT PROGRAM FOR YOU

Have you been injured recently? Does your doctor want you to exercise to normalize certain health markers (insulin, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rate, etc.)? How much time do you have to dedicate to your program? What has (and hasn’t!) worked for you in the past?

Hiring a personal trainer means getting a custom designed program to keep you challenged and achieve the desired transformation.

Every 3-5 weeks, your coach modifies your program in order to maximize progression as your body adapts and gets stronger/leaner.

First, we’ll start with a 90-minute comprehensive assessment of your health and fitness during which Coach Elizabeth will discuss your goals, training background, injuries and health history. Exercise prescription needed from your physician or physical therapist will be determined during your assessment.

A TRAINER WHO REALLY GETS YOU

Take advice from the trainer who wasn’t fit all her life, who struggled with her self-esteem, chronic health issues and bad habits fueled by negative thinking and self-blaming patterns.

Coach Elizabeth was able to transform her life over the course of one year and never looked back, getting fitter and fitter each year ever since.

Her goal is to give you the tools you need to make the necessary changes in your life stick. [More on Marina coach Elizabeth’s weight loss and health journey here]

1

Make the Commitment

If you choose to work with us, know that you will become the type of disciplined person who seamlessly incorporates healthy habits into their life… over time. We take pride in not selling short term goals and challenges that lead to yo-yo patterns of weight gain and weight loss. Consistent efforts over an extended period of time is how you’ll go the distance.

2

Schedule Your Process

Request your 90-min comprehensive assessment with your coach this week. One way to follow through with your commitment is to schedule it under the form of recurring appointments. Personal training on Mondays, Lunch walk on Tuesdays, Group Class on Wednesday, etc. You must be proactive with (and protective of) your schedule and how you spend your precious time.

3

Safeguard Your Success

You know better than anyone else when, where and why you’re likely to get off track. We take those triggers and events into consideration from the get-go so you will stay committed. Your personal trainer is your #1 accountability partner who will treat you with respect in a consistent and caring manner to see you succeed.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

MBM has been so great for my physical and mental health. the workouts are mainly outside and I think that is what I love most about them. I am inside all day everyday and it feels so good to break a sweat in the fresh air.

Also, the classes cater very much for the 9-5 life, I especially like when we have our morning classes. It really gets my day started on the right foot. Before MBM I was sort of working out consistently but so bored with my workouts that I would easily fall out of my routine. There are several different classes MBM offers and I think with variety of workouts and classes is the reason I have been able to see more muscles in my arms and stomach.

Coach Elizabeth is what also makes MBM so great because she makes a big effort to create a community among us. She checks up on us, creates special challenges to keep us motivated, and has made a big effort to keep us safe during our workouts with all that 2020 has thrown at us. A lot of us have made friends within the group and MBM has been such a positive part of this year for me. (I’m not crying, you’re crying)

Professional outdoor workouts right here in Marina. Coach Elizabeth and staff are the best! Motivating, positive, welcoming, and effective.

I’ve had private coaching with Monterey Bay Moved for the last six months, and it has been life changing. I’ve learned a ton about fitness and nutrition, and I’ve also learned about what gets in my way of pursuing my health. Elizabeth is great at listening to my fitness journey and plugging me in to the perfect trainers, classes, and experiences (like a community hike!) I’ve gained a significant amount of muscle, curbed the shelter-in-place weight gain, and staved off the quarantine blues through working with Elizabeth and the team. I’m really grateful for everything MBM has given me ♥️

Your program got me MOVING and perhaps is the beginning of a healthy lifestyle forever. The ideal of picking and choosing from your variety of classes is EXACTLY what was NEEDED. Thank you for being an AWESOME leader,coach and HUMAN Being. The outdoor and zoom programs that you offer literally saved my LIFE.

I’ve been working out and taking yoga classes with Monterey Bay Moves for a little over a year. Elizabeth (the owner and head trainer for group fitness classes) is the most knowledgeable trainer I’ve ever met and worked out with. She corrects form and gives feedback and encouragement kindly but is also super motivating and pushes you to push your limits safely. The yoga instructors all offer their own unique style, which helps keep my practice versatile and challenging while teaching me various breath techniques and mindfulness from various schools of thought. I would highly recommend Monterey Bay Moves to people of any fitness level!

“The yoga classes (well all the other classes too) are great! Instructors have great teaching styles and I enjoy the use of aromatherapy and therapeutic adjustments during in person sessions. In light of the pandemic, classes have been made available online and they are both great at using their voices to guide you through flows when your have can’t necessarily be on the computer screen to feel the flow. The class times vary enough that I am able to fit 2-4 yoga sessions into my schedule each week!”

I started taking yoga classes (Restorative Yoga on Mondays and Yoga Flow on Wednesdays) a few weeks ago and they have been seriously so amazing! I’m definitely a beginner when it comes to yoga, so I was nervous going into the classes. But Allison does a great job at walking you through the poses and details what to do so clearly that I don’t even have to look up/check to see what she’s doing! She also does a great job at offering modifications for all poses for people with injuries or who want an easier option. It’s been four weeks and I already feel more flexible, more strong, more present in my body. Every class is different, challenging, and rewarding. I come out of each one more confident in myself (body, mind, and soul)! Monterey Bay Moves is the best and I highly recommend attending their classes!!

Clare M.

The yoga classes are amazing, as well! Each yoga class is a wonderful journey of harmony and peace!

I started taking yoga classes to add as a part of my routine during quarantine, and it’s made such an impact in my life! I have not practiced in a few years and for the first time in many years, I feel present in my own body. It’s a 55-minute flow that surprisingly gives you quite the workout! It’s tough, but good and much needed. They have you in poses that are not your usual chill yoga poses, but such interesting poses myself and my roommate have not done before that make you stretch and tone parts of your body you were unaware of. I’m also practically falling asleep by the end because it’s so peaceful. I LOVE IT! I look forward to it every Monday and Wednesday!!! My body is thankful.

T.H.

With Monterey Bay Moves’ classes, I went down 2 waist sizes, lost weight, planks feel like rest time now, I am able to perform a correct push up on my toes and I hike uphill without needing to stop. Elizabeth is an amazing instructor and makes me feel very comfortable, motivated, and capable of achieving my goals. I love the variety of the workouts, the small class sizes, and the feedback on form/the right way to do the exercises.
