What if I’ve been trying to build muscle for a long time but have never been successful?

Often, the struggle to build muscle stems from one of two issues:

(1) using a program that wasn’t explicitly designed to build muscle or

(2) using a program that wasn’t tailored to your individual needs.

Build Your Workouts addresses both challenges by providing strategies specifically for women seeking a personalized workout program focusing on muscle development. Whether you’re aiming for a toned appearance or want to maximize muscle growth, this program will guide you through the process in a straightforward, effective manner.

I feel like I’m wasting time in the gym. Will this program help?

Absolutely. As a busy woman, you invest valuable time and energy into your workouts. The last thing you want to do is waste that time and energy, right?

Often, the issue lies in the workout plan itself—it may not align with your goals to tone your body or build muscle.

With Build Your Workouts, you'll gain the assurance that every minute you spend in the gym is effectively pushing you toward your fitness goals.

What if I don’t have a gym membership and my home equipment is limited?

The program's name says it all: Build Your Workouts, not "Build Your Workouts, But Only In a Gym."

BYW is designed to adapt to whatever equipment you have—or don’t have. You don’t need a barbell to see results (though it’s a plus if you have one!).

You'll need at least a set of dumbbells to effectively use the progressive overload techniques I teach in Build Your Workouts. This ensures you can progress and meet your fitness goals, whether working out at home or elsewhere.

What equipment will I need?

Start with what you have available! If you don’t own any equipment yet, you can begin with bodyweight exercises while you explore your options. To maximize the benefits of your training, you should aim to have access to heavy, medium, and light dumbbells — "heavy" being relative to your current strength level.

As you progress, you can expand your home gym at your own pace, adding pieces that fit your workout needs. Additionally, Build Your Workouts includes a special bonus that guides you through gradually building your gym, one piece of equipment at a time. This way, you can create a personalized fitness space that supports your fitness journey.

Sounds great, but I need to lose weight before lifting.

I understand—it's a common belief that weight loss primarily involves reducing caloric intake and increasing cardio.

However, lifting weights is not something to postpone until after you've lost fat; it's a crucial tool for fat loss.

Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue, meaning the more muscle you build, the more calories you burn daily. Incorporating weight training into your routine can accelerate your fat loss. If weight training isn't currently part of your plan, this might be why you're not seeing the progress you desire. Let’s change that and optimize your fitness journey with Build Your Workouts.

What if I have zero desire to write my own programming….is there still value for me inside Build Your Workouts?

Abso-freakin-lutely. Even if you aren't interested in creating your own workout programs, understanding what makes a program effective is crucial. Without this knowledge, it's easy to fall into the trap of following routines that don't lead to the changes you want to see in your body.

Many programs promise muscle building but fail to deliver results. It’s similar to buying a car: you don't need to know everything about how cars work, but you should understand the differences between models to make an informed decision. Build Your Workouts will empower you to discern which programs are effective, making you a smarter fitness consumer.

What if I don't like BYW? Can I get a refund?

After serving over 4,000 students, I’m so confident that Build Your Workouts works (if you work it, of course) that I do not offer any refunds. Why? Because the last thing we want to do is attract the type of people just looking to grab content and get a refund.

I want to work with committed individuals hungry to learn and willing to do the work. So, if you still doubt whether you can do it or if BYW will work for you, then maybe this program isn’t right for you.

Programming seems complicated. Can I do this?

It's common to feel that programming is overwhelming—many trainers in the fitness industry perpetuate this idea to sell their services. However, the truth is, it's more accessible than you might think!

In the Build Your Workouts program, I'll guide you through the fundamental principles and provide easy-to-use plug-and-play templates. These tools simplify the process, so if you can fill in the blanks, you'll confidently craft your first 6-week training plan.

I want to make sure I’m getting a good deal, isn’t this kind of expensive?

It's great to hear you're careful with your finances—I value careful spending, too, and always compare options to ensure I get the best deal. 

Let’s consider your choices:

• Doing nothing different: This might seem free, but it comes with its own costs. If you face challenges like stagnant fat loss, low confidence, or feeling stuck, those won't improve independently. The actual cost here is potentially never achieving your fitness goals.
• Subscribing to a generic $30/month workout program: Initially, this seems economical. However, without understanding what constitutes an effective program, you might end up spending $30 a month and countless hours on routines that don’t build muscle. After a year, you could spend $360 and see no significant progress.
• Customized programming from a coach or personal trainer: This can be highly effective but often at a steep price. I spent nearly $200 a month for three years—that's $7,200—with a personal coach. While effective, it's a substantial investment. And since not everyone is ready to drop $7K on their workouts, let’s move on to option number 4.
• Investing $299 in BYW: This one-time investment arms you with the knowledge to create or evaluate any workout program for its effectiveness. It is not only the most budget-friendly option, but it also equips you with lifelong skills.

When considering these options, investing in BYW seems like the most cost-effective and smartest choice in the long run.

If I’m not new to lifting, will this program still be beneficial?

That depends on what you mean when you say, “not new to lifting.” If you're already proficient in creating customized training programs, understand progressive overload, can determine the appropriate number of reps and sets, and know how to integrate compound and isolation lifts effectively—as well as balance cardio with weight training specific to your body type—then Build Your Workouts probably isn’t for you.

However, if by "not new to lifting" you mean you're familiar with the gym environment but haven't seen the results you expected, then this program is definitely for you.

Build Your Workouts is designed to bridge any gaps in your current routine so that the time you spend working out actually changes your body composition.

How much time must I commit to my workouts for this program to be effective?

As a working mom, I completely understand that your time is valuable. Heck, that’s precisely why I want to ensure the time you spend in the gym is effective - you don’t have time to waste! Build Your Workouts is designed to adapt flexibly to your schedule. You can create an effective workout program with as little as 30 minutes twice a week.

This program teaches you how to maximize these sessions to build muscle and meet your fitness goals efficiently. Whether you have limited time or can devote more hours to your fitness, this program will guide you in constructing workouts that fit into your busy life.

So….is this program as simple as me paying you to create a program for me?

No, Build Your Workouts goes beyond just providing a ready-made program. If you're looking for a program to follow directly, I offer several options on my website that you can purchase. However, Build Your Workouts is unique because it equips you with the knowledge and tools to design your own customized workout plan.

By the end of this program, you'll not only have a tailored plan that fits your specific goals and lifestyle, but you'll also feel genuinely empowered and excited to see the progress in your photos.
