When I started as a Fitness Coach over 13 years ago (đ±), I knew how to get results but struggled to explain how and why it worked. My first coach challenged me to distill the core of my approach into a simple blueprintâsomething I could always refer to, ensuring I stayed true to my values and methods.
In this post, Iâm pulling back the curtain to share my SMART framework. Itâs something I use with every single client, whether theyâre looking to improve their fitness, weight loss, age reversal, or just better health.
Whatâs different about my SMART framework? Well, this isnât your typical âSpecific, Measurable, Achievableâ yada yada weâve all heard before. Nope, Iâve put my own spin on it. So, buckle up because this framework is going to show you not only how I help clients transform their lives but also how I stay on track with my own fitness journey.
S is for Sexy
In my world, the âSâ stands for sexy. Now, I know that word can mean a million different things to a million different people, but thatâs the beauty of it.
Sexy could be about the way you look, how strong you feel, or even how youthful you act.
When you feel sexy, you feel powerful: itâs like a supercharged confidence boost that makes you feel like you can take over the world. And trust me, when you get into that mindset, thereâs no stopping you.
Whatâs sexy to you might not be whatâs sexy to someone else.
Some people feel their best when theyâre toned and lean, others feel most powerful with some curves, and some feel on top of the world when theyâre running up a wall like a ninja.
Itâs completely individualized, and once we tap into your version of sexy, thatâs what weâre going after. And what difference that makes to my clients’ ability and willingness to stick it out for the long term!
M is for Mindset
I know, I know, everyone talks about mindset, and itâs probably the last thing you want to hear more about. But letâs be real: mindset is everything. The way you think dramatically affects the kind of results you get. This is where the power of belief and the placebo effect come into play. When you truly believe that the goals youâve set are not only achievable, but that theyâre happening right now, your body and mind align to make it a reality.
Your mindset is the foundation of everything youâre trying to achieve. If you donât believe in yourself and in your ability to succeed, no amount of reps, miles, or salads is going to get you where you want to go. So yeah, when you work with me youâre going to hear about mindset… a lot!
A is for Amaze Yourself
There is nothing better than that moment when a client comes to me and says, âI canât believe I did that!â And it happens all the time. It never gets old. That moment of shock and awe when theyâve done something they thought was impossible for them? Priceless.
The truth is, I knew they could do it all along, but sometimes they just couldnât see it. It happens to me all the time when I practice Parkour: my coaches and my fellow students know what I am capable of long before I see it. Doing a lot of strength and conditioning has helped me bridge that gap and become comfortable with my power as an athlete, but I still get the occasional wobble.
The key here is to stay open to the possibility of amazement. When you commit to your goals and really put in the effort, the things you can achieve will blow your mind. Keep that sense of wonder alive, and the results will follow.
R is for Rejuvenate
Whether age reversal is your main goal or just a nice side benefit, rejuvenation is always part of my SMART process. The moment you start fueling your body with the right nutrients, optimizing your fitness, and taking care of your overall health, your body begins to repair itself. Itâs like giving your body a maintenance overhaul: it starts fixing things you didnât even know were broken.
And youâll notice it. Youâll get to a point where youâre feeling so good that youâll wonder how you ever lived feeling as bad as you did before. Thatâs the power of rejuvenation. Itâs not just about looking younger, itâs about feeling like youâve hit the reset button on life.
No, Iâm not chasing some Peter Pan fantasy of eternal youth or dreaming of immortality. I know that aging is the root cause of many illnesses, which is why I focus on slowing down the process to the best of my abilities. My goal is to maintain my independence and stay free from ailments for as long as possible so I can enjoy life, not spend it queuing at the chemists’ for prescriptions. And I want you to experience the same.
T is for Three-Dimensional
Transformation isnât just about hitting the gym or cleaning up your diet. Itâs about creating a three-dimensional lifestyle that supports the mind, body, and everything in between. Itâs about learning how to manage all aspects of your life: your mindset, your physical health, and your habits to create something sustainable.
When you focus on these three areas, your mind, your body, and your lifestyle, youâre setting yourself up for long-term success. You donât just want to look good; you want to feel vibrant, energized, and in control of your life.
Itâs about dealing with challenges from a place of strength instead of getting pulled down into a pit of stress or fear. Because letâs face it, life will throw you curveballs, but with this approach, youâll be in a much better position to handle whatever comes your way.
How My SMART Framework Leads to Lasting Transformation
Hereâs what makes my framework so powerful: itâs something that sticks with you. When I teach this framework to clients, it doesnât just help them achieve short-term results. It gives them a roadmap they can return to, even after weâve parted ways. Most of my clients stay with me for years, but the SMART framework ensures they have the tools to continue their journey independently once they leave the nest.
The beauty of this approach is that itâs not a one-time fix. Itâs a guide that helps you maintain the results youâve achieved and pushes you to set new, exciting goals. When youâre feeling lost or like youâve plateaued, you can always come back to this framework as your North Star, guiding you back on track.
Why It Works: My SMART Framework is About YOU
The SMART framework is so effective because itâs tailored to you. Itâs not about meeting some generic standard of fitness or health, itâs about discovering what makes YOU feel strong, sexy, and rejuvenated. And once we tap into that, the skyâs the limit.
So, whether youâre aiming to reverse aging, drop a few pounds, or just feel like the best version of yourself, this framework is your roadmap to getting there. Sexy, mindset, amazing results, rejuvenation, and three-dimensional living: itâs all about finding balance and creating a life that feels good from the inside out.
