Transformation Coaching - Frequently Asked Questions

Nova Health Club • April 15, 2023

What is Transformation Coaching?

Like personal training, you work with a qualified coach who in addition to fitness has an in-depth understanding of health including, nutrition, mental health, stress management, digestion, metabolism, fat loss and more. Transformation coaching identifies the nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help you transform how you look and feel.


Is it all About Weight Loss?

No. But the amazing thing is that weight loss (fat loss) is a natural result of the program. The human body’s natural default is to be lean and healthy. Modern lifestyles unfortunately take that away from us. When you change your health from the inside out, naturally you burn fat and develop into a leaner healthier body.


What Other ‘Transformation’ Changes can I Expect?

Everyone who does Transformation coaching has experienced better sleep, energy, focus, digestion and mood. You can also expect less energy crashes, sugar cravings, brain fog, constipation, bloating, allergies, skin issues and more. These transformations and more will literally change your life.


How Long Does a Transformation Take?

Most people see and feel immediate results in just weeks. But for a full transformation to happen you want to give yourself at least 6 months depending on where you are starting from. Remember, that poor health and fat gain also did not happen overnight but rather over months and even years. 


I’m Committed to my Health - Can I Speed Up The Process?

Transformation requires lifestyle change. While being committed to your health is a great part of mindset, it is very different from being able to execute lifestyle changes and habits for success. For meaningful changes to occur in all aspects of your health, meaningful changes in all aspects of your life are required. This can be a challenge for most people and is why having a coach and community is so important. For transformations to be sustainable, the process should be both enjoyable and realistic. Therefore the speed of your results really depends on you and how well you can execute and maintain the habits needed. Few people can take everything and implement it all at once without stress. Most people on the other hand need to stack habits one after the other over time. Think of it like progressing at anything - you start with the basics and build each day and week to be better than the last while implementing new strategies.


I Already ‘Eat Healthy’ Is This For Me?

We hear this a lot! ‘Eating healthy’ is very subjective and often has nothing to do with what your body needs. Our preconceived notions of ‘healthy eating’ are an accumulation of information that we have gathered over the years from sources that do not know anything about our body or our goals. While you may think you are ‘eating healthy’ you are likely not eating what you should. If you are not at your health goals, then chances are your ‘healthy’ routine is not working the way you want it to be.


Who Is Transformation Coaching For?

This program is for anyone who has not reached their health goals or who may not even know that their health could dramatically improve. If you have trouble losing stubborn fat, this program is for you. If you have energy crashes or struggle to focus through the day this program is for you. If you have digestive trouble such as bloating, gas or burping, this program is for you. If you have mood swings or are irritable this program is for you. If you live an overly busy or high stress lifestyle this program is for you. If you want to perform at your best and be the best version of yourself this program is for you. 


Who Is Transformation Coaching NOT For?

If you can not prioritize your health next to your family or career this program will not work. If it is not a "Heck yes, I need this!"  than it is not the right program to begin. For transformation to happen, there needs to be the full commitment and trust in the process along with communication and submission of metrics such as body composition and foodlogs.


What is The Process of Transformation?

Everybody is different therefore starting with health intake forms allows your coach to determine where you are at, what you need and the best course of action to take. The three phases of transformation are 1)Foundations, 2)Optimization and 3)Performance. Foundations can take 2-12 months to complete depending on the person. Once you have a solid grasp of the foundations, you move to optimize and finally the performance phase is the highest level you can achieve. Most people join our Transformation program for the Foundations and many of them never have expected that they will move to optimization or performance. 


What Will I Learn in The Foundations?

The foundations are all about healing. Healing the digestive system and nurturing your mindset are key to you being able to see results and sustain them. The topics we cover in Foundations are: Mindset, Inflammation, Digestion, Whole Foods, Supplements, Sleep, Primal Pattern Type, Sleep, Stress Reduction and Activity.


Sounds Great But How Much Does It Cost?

The average client works with us for 6-12 mos. A 6 month investment will be in the high 4 figure range for 1on1 coaching. The group coaching program will be slightly less.


Is There a Cheaper Option?

No. We understand that not everyone has the required income source but everyone is capable of being resourceful. Health should never be looked at as cheap. It’s simple - how much do you value your health? If you place great value on it, you will likely invest more into it. The less you care about improving your health the less you will invest in it. This program is results oriented and requires your commitment along with dedicated qualified coaches. When you spend more, you invest in the best, are more likely to follow through and get the results you want.

Do Hard Things Now, So Life Becomes Easier Later Modern humans default to the easy way but it's not our fault... Throughout human history, we were wired to survive constant hardship - scarcity of food, threats from predators, harsh environments and manual labor for everything. Our DNA evolved for survival in these conditions, not for modern living. Imagine an early human stumbling across a fruit tree. It made sense to gorge - there was no telling when the next meal would come. The human who gorged had a higher chance of survival than the human who only ate a few pieces of fruit. Practicing self-control in an environment of scarcity would have been a death sentence. Likewise, if given a chance to rest instead of walking miles or hunting, rest was the obvious choice. The problem? Our genes haven’t caught up with modern life. Today, food is everywhere. We don’t have to fight to meet our basic needs. Technology does the heavy lifting, cars replace walking, entertainment is on-demand and calorie-dense foods are always within reach. Left unchecked, our instincts will always lean toward easy options like overeating unhealthy foods (that are so easily accessible) or driving to the store instead of walking. In other words, we’re still hardwired to take the path of least resistance. But here’s the catch: Choosing easy now often means a harder life later and choosing hard now often means an easier life later. Most modern humans are overweight, stressed, tired and dealing with chronic health problems because we’re following outdated survival programming that no longer serves us. It’s time to become aware of these defaults. To override them. To consciously choose the hard thing - because doing hard things is what actually makes life easier in the long run. Hard things like: Going to bed on time instead of watching another episode Preparing a healthy meal instead of grabbing fast food Moving your body instead of sitting all day Walking or biking to the store instead of driving Managing stress with deep breaths and fresh air instead of pouring a drink Looking at your habits instead of masking symptoms with medication It might feel uncomfortable because it goes against everything your biological programming is urging you to do. But that’s exactly why it matters. Don’t think of it as punishment or sacrifice. Think of it as an investment. Every time you take the stairs instead of the elevator, cook instead of order out, or put your phone down to truly rest, you’re building a life that’s easier, richer, and more fulfilling down the road. And remember: Do easy things, and you’ll have a hard life. Do hard things, and you’ll have an easy life. Most of the above information is probably not new to you. That’s because we live in the information age with the internet and now AI - we already know what it is we need to do. The problem however is implementation. This is where having a customized plan and accountability comes in. If you know the hard things you need to do more of but struggle with breaking past your ‘default mode’ then contact us for a complimentary consultation HERE .

We are back with our second series of 'Pod Calls' available exclusively to our Nova Health Club members. Don't miss these unique sessions to help you level up your health and wellness game! What is a Pod Call? A Pod Call is a live online (webinar like)_ session with a Nova coach, offering support and insights on key health topics like fitness, nutrition, recovery and overall wellness. Why did we create Pod Calls? Our goal is your success and your health goals can not be built on fitness alone. After delivering thousands of personal training sessions, we noticed a disconnect between fitness sessions we were delivering and the other pillars of health (and lifestyle habits that happen outside of the gym). To get the most out of your health and your fitness sessions at Nova we need to link other pillars such as mindset, nutrition, stress and recovery. Training coaches who care about your results will agree that a couple hours of personal training each week is not enough time to workout AND learn everything you need to know about maximizing those workouts... Things like how to eat before or after workouts, what recovery habits should be practiced or the link between stress and working out are all subjects that you need to know on your health and fitness journey. Pod Calls are dedicated sessions where we teach you essential health and fitness insights that we can't often cover during your gym workouts. We hope you take advantage of these expert-led sessions that will enhance your workouts, teach you new concepts about health and bridge the gap between fitness and overall wellness. Upcoming Pod Calls (all times in EST) Mon Jun 2, 2025 (6:00pm) Topic: How To Eat Carbs For Better Energy, Muscle & Fat Loss Coach: Josh Allen Wed Jun 4, 2025 (2:00pm) Topic: Hip Mobility Using the 'CARS' (active session) Coach: Kim Vo Sat Jun 7, 2025 (12:00pm) Topic: Benefits of Single Leg & Arm Training for Overall Strength Coach: Matthew Nadler Tues Jun 10, 2025 (6pm) Topic: Releasing Neck Tension Coach: Zack Fernandez Wed Jun 18, 2025 (1:00pm) Topic: Training The Backside of The Core Coach: Colin Soltesz Thu June 19, 2025 (7:00pm): Topic: Ayurveda for Healthy Ageing Coach: Kayla Hutchinson These calls are free for Nova members and Zoom links for each call can be found in the Nova Mighty Networks platform.
