Frequently Asked Questions for Remote Health and Fitness Coaching

What is the difference between Health and Fitness Coaching and Personal Training?

Health and Fitness Coaching is more than just fitness. Our coaches help you with your overall health and fitness goals such as: exercise, stress, sleep, eating habits, motivation, and so on by keeping you accountable through Volt Guided Fitness (VOLT) and coaching sessions. Our coaches guide you through your programs, provide technique coaching, and community support.

How does coaching work?

Coaching is a collaborative process. Our coaches work with you to understand your goals, your current roadblocks, and create a custom plan built around what you’ll need to succeed. We meet bi-monthly using Microsoft Teams and respond to your messages in VOLT within 24 hours Monday through Friday.

Will I be doing workouts with my coach?

Your coach will design your exercise program through Volt for you to complete on your own time. They will keep you accountable with your health and fitness goals through your coaching calls and through Volt Chat.

How long does a coaching session last?

The first coaching session is reserved for an hour. We like to take the time to learn about YOU! Your goals, family, values, dreams, barriers, and anything that you’d like to provide us so we can better help you.

After your first session, the coach will check in on your progress, make tweaks to your plan, and plan for upcoming situations.

How do I communicate with my coach?

The coaching operates in a fully virtual capacity, enabling you to engage with your coach via your phone or tablet.

Message your coach through Volt Chat anytime! Coaches will respond within 24 hours from Monday through Friday.

What if I need to cancel, skip, or reschedule a coaching session?

No problem! Our coaches are extremely flexible with your lifestyle. We ask that you provide a 24-hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. That way we can put someone on our waiting list into that spot for the day.

Appointments are booked very quickly and frequently with the coaches, so to keep you on track, please select the days/times that work best for you. That way you don’t have to wait a week out for your coaching session.

Will the Coach send me an exercise plan?

Yes! The coaches design your exercise routine through VOLT. This can be accessed through The Health and Fitness Center app (URFitAP-WCC).

Can I change my Coach?

Will there be a meal plan provided?
