The Exact Tools You Need to Train With Me Online
Your simple, no fluff setup list for virtual coaching sessions.
If you're training with me virtually, your setup matters.
Not for aesthetics.
For results.
Clear camera angles.
Clean audio.
Proper resistance.
Zero friction.
When your gear is dialed in, sessions run smoother, coaching is sharper, and your progress speeds up.
Here's your simple, no fluff setup list.
1) Strong WiFi Connection (Non Negotiable)
If your connection drops, coaching stops.
Laggy video and choppy audio kill momentum and waste session time. Online training only works when we can see and hear each other clearly in real time.
Why this matters
- • Clear movement feedback
- • Real time coaching cues
- • No frozen screens mid set
- • Professional session experience
Simple standard:
Run your sessions near your router or use a WiFi extender. If your signal struggles, plug in with ethernet.
Your connection quality = your coaching quality.
2) Phone Mount: Gym or Home Setup
If I can't see you clearly, I can't coach you precisely.
This is non negotiable.
Why you need it
- • Stable video for real time form correction
- • Better angles for squat, hinge, press, and pull patterns
- • Hands free so you stay focused on training

This is your portable gym.

Why you need it
- • Glute activation before lower body days
- • Shoulder health and posture work
- • Progressive resistance anywhere
- • Travel friendly training
4) Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones
Focus is a performance enhancer.
Good headphones block chaos and keep you locked into coaching cues, tempo, and effort.
Why you need them
- • Hear instructions clearly
- • Eliminate gym noise and home distractions
- • No wires getting in the way
- • Better mind muscle connection
5) Water Bottle That Keeps You Hydrated
Hydration drives performance.
Performance drives results.
Even mild dehydration reduces strength, endurance, and focus.
Why you need it
- • Maintain energy through sessions
- • Support muscle function
- • Stay consistent with intake
6) Gym Towel
Simple. Professional. Respectful.
A towel keeps sweat off equipment and your hands dry for safer lifts.
Why you need it
- • Better grip
- • Cleaner setup
- • More comfortable sessions
