Sebastian’s Coaching Philosophy

I believe everyone should be reaching toward their personal next level. Whatever current ability you have, let’s work to expand and deepen that. I also believe that fitness programs and trainers should train their clients as full beings, not as machines made of muscles and bones.

My work centers around helping people integrate their full bodies toward dynamic movement. This is why I intentionally don’t offer programs focused on weight-loss or aesthetics. Instead I help people set and accomplish realistic goals that improve their wellbeing in multiple dimensions.

Over the years I’ve learned that training cannot be a linear process. It is cyclical and shifts based on one’s life events, changing needs, injuries, desires and experiences. Having ups and downs and side-steps is completely normal and not a reason to quit training or feel like a failure. Instead, these changing moments are times to reflect and recoup. Trainers and coaches need to be prepared to help clients through these times and be ready to change too.
