How The Strong Start Program Works
Doctor-led coaching, not rep-counting.
We evaluate, build a custom program tailored to your specific goals, and check in every 1–2 weeks to fine-tune form and progress, so you get expert oversight without overpaying for unnecessary sessions.
Phase 1 – Assess & Jump-Start
2 × 50-min visits with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to uncover goals, injuries, and develop an ideal starting program.
Phase 2 – Personalized Program
We build 4-week training blocks you run on your own (home or gym). Phone and email support between visits.
Phase 3 – Progress Check-Ins
One 50-min coaching session every 1–2 weeks to refine technique, progress loads, and reach your goals.
Typical Investment
Most clients invest $280–$420 for their first month (2-4 sessions), then $140–$280/month (1-2 sessions) for ongoing check-ins and program progressions/modifications.
The Outcome
Doctor-level oversight, measurable progress, and a coach in your corner without breaking the bank.

I started with Dan to work on building bone health. I am so impressed with his ability to tailor an exercise routine that fits with lifestyle and available equipment. His teaching make me confident that I am working in the safest way possible to increase strength while decreasing the risk of injury. Highly recommended!
