Coaching Agreement

Effective date: January 1, 2026  ·  Last updated: May 2026

1. What You Can Expect From Your Coach

Great Northern Gains is committed to delivering a high-quality, personalized coaching experience. As your coach, I will:

• Build a customized workout program based on your goals, experience level, and available equipment
• Review your weekly check-ins and make program adjustments based on your progress and feedback
• Set individualized nutrition targets (calories and macros) aligned with your goal
• Respond to messages within 24–48 hours on business days
• Provide form feedback and exercise guidance when requested
• Treat your data and conversations with professionalism and confidentiality

2. What I Expect From You

The success of this coaching relationship depends on your engagement and honesty. As a client, I ask that you:

• Show up consistently. Training 3–5x per week as programmed is the baseline. Progress comes from consistency, not perfection.
• Complete your weekly check-in. Submitting your check-in on time every week is the most important thing you can do. It's how I know what to adjust.
• Communicate early and often. If something isn't working — physically, logistically, or motivationally — message me. Don't wait until a check-in.
• Be honest in your logs. I can't coach what I can't see. Accurate food and workout logs let me make better decisions for you.
• Trust the process. Results take time. Follow the program as written for at least 4 weeks before concluding it isn't working.

3. Program Delivery

Your customized workout program will be delivered through the client portal within 3–5 business days of your first payment. Nutrition targets will be set based on your intake questionnaire and updated as your program progresses.

Programs are structured in weekly training blocks. Your coach will review your check-in each week and push updated guidance or adjustments through the portal.

4. Check-In Schedule

Check-ins are submitted weekly through the portal. A complete check-in includes:

• Current weight (or body measurements if preferred)
• Adherence ratings (workout, nutrition, energy, mood)
• Optional progress photo
• Any notes or feedback

Clients who miss 2 or more check-ins in a row without communication will receive an automated reminder. Consistently missing check-ins limits the quality of coaching I can provide.

5. Communication Standards

All coaching communication happens through the in-app messaging system. This ensures your coaching history stays organized and accessible. I do not provide coaching via personal social media DMs.

I reply to messages Monday through Friday. For non-urgent questions, expect a response within 48 hours. For urgent matters, please indicate "urgent" in your message.

6. Health and Safety

Your safety is non-negotiable. If you experience pain, injury, or a significant health change:

• Stop the activity causing pain immediately
• Message your coach and describe the issue
• Consult a medical professional if symptoms persist

I am not a licensed physician or physical therapist. Program modifications will be made based on your feedback, but medical clearance is your responsibility.

7. Cancellation and Pausing

You can cancel your coaching subscription at any time by messaging your coach or contacting us at jonathonstotler@gmail.com. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period.

Life happens. If you need to pause due to travel, injury, or other circumstances, reach out. I'll work with you on the best path forward.

8. Confidentiality

Everything you share — your health history, progress data, photos, and personal conversations — is treated with complete confidentiality. Your information will never be shared or published without your explicit written consent.

9. Agreement

By completing enrollment and beginning your subscription, you confirm that you have read and agree to this Coaching Agreement, the Terms of Service, and the Billing Policy.
