Frequently Asked Q's
and our verbose answers...
I’m a little off my game in terms of working out consistently. Will I be able to keep up with the workout routine?
A thorough consultation process allows owner and certified personal trainer Chris Dorka to completely assess your overall fitness capabilities and limitations. Ultimately, the personalized workout program you complete takes these factors into account, and is designed specifically for your current fitness level and long-term goals. The staff at CFP will challenge you, but also take into account your unique situation. You will never leave the gym feeling defeated.
I’m new to personal coaching and hesitant about the cost. What is the value of investing in a personal coach as opposed to joining a gym?
The true difference between joining a gym and hiring a personal coach is the use of safe progressions. A personal coach will administer a workout routine that will allow you to build toward your health and fitness goals. In a conventional workout setting, you will eventually encounter a plateau with your progress, and that’s where a certified personal trainer will make the necessary adjustments in order to keep the progress moving in the right direction. Furthermore, safety is one of the top priorities of a fitness professional.
In my mind, a personal coach is someone who hovers over their client and yells. What is your style?
What separates CFP from other gyms is the individualization for each client. During the consultation process, we discuss what kind of training atmosphere best suits you. The style discussed is then implemented in your personalized workout program. Typically, training will evolve with the right balance of coaching and encouraging – without a reliance on yelling.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUBMISSION!
I have a strong workout regimen in place; however, I just need to take it to the next level. Do you work with individuals like me?
CFP works with individuals of all fitness levels. Regardless of your current fitness status, we firmly believe progress can always be achieved with each client.
How long until I see results from my workout routine?
Depending on your starting fitness level, positive results can be seen within a few weeks, or even days. However, we encourage individuals to work out for at least a month, as major progress starts to become noticeable after the one-month mark.
What is the benefit of working out virtually rather than in the gym?
The online program allows Chris to help you with all aspects of your health and not just exercise. The platform is set up in a way where Chris can “coach or assist” you 24 hours a day. Not only can he program custom workouts for you to do from home, but your nutrition, sleep and stress management can all easily be tracked to maximize your health goals. We all know that all those aspects play a big role in whatever goals you have made for yourself.
What does H30 Stand for?
It stands for Home 30, which represents our workout program. We focus on 30 minute workouts that can be done from home but you are able to workout anywhere in our program. The H also stands for hormonal balance, which we strive to help you achieve through lifestyle changes (diet, stress, sleep, exercise, etc).
I know the program focuses on busy women but can you work with other types of people (i.e. men, retired women)?
Yes of course! We enjoy working with all types of people and our program allows us to customize it to each person depending on their needs and goals. Our team has experience helping both women and men transform their bodies.
How soon will I start seeing results?
Everyone is different but with that being said - you can expect to start seeing results in as little as two weeks if you follow our recommendations.
How long is the program?
Our top priority is not just achieving results, but rather sustainable results. A healthy, fit lifestyle is one that is supposed to last for the rest of your life. It is unrealistic to believe that habits that are supposed to last a lifetime can be built with an 8 or 12-week cookie-cutter plan. Our priority is for our clients to achieve results and be able to sustain their results for the rest of their lives, which is why our program starts as a 4 month commitment, but typically extends to 12-15 months.
Couldn't I do this on my own?
Yes. You can do it on your own but if you want to save time, eliminate the guesswork and simply get to your goal as efficiently as possible then hiring a coach is for you. Even the best athletes in the world have coaches.
Will I ever see you in-person?
We do not offer in-person personal training sessions. In our experience, personal training is insufficient in providing clients with adequate nutrition support to achieve life changing results. You can hire a personal trainer at your local gym for intense workouts or you can join our program for a holistic approach.
I've hired another online coach and didn't get results. How do I know this will work?
We can't speak for the work of other coaches. With that said there are a lot of people in the fitness industry who are sincere in their efforts but lack the experience of transforming someone else's body. Our best advice is not to allow one bad experience to hold you back from transforming your life.
Do you work with beginners?
Yes! We work with anyone who wants to lose body fat or build muscle at any fitness level as long as you are willing to learn and ready to take action.
How much does the program cost?
Working with a highly qualified fitness coach is not a free or cheap service. It will require a financial investment.That being said, we make sure to price our coaching services so that they are affordable for anyone who is looking to make a drastic physical change. We offer payment plans and other options, so money should not be an issue if you are 100% committed to changing your life and body.
I'm afraid to invest in myself
As we like to say, you can invest now or plan on investing more later in life with extra health care costs. The “right” time is now, if you keep waiting for the perfect time then you will constantly stay in the same position you are in now.
