Size-Up Session
Just like a size-up on a structure fire, this session is all about assessing the situation from every angle and coming up with a solid action plan.
During this focused, 1-hour meeting with Coach Vanessa, we’ll take a comprehensive look at all aspects of your health and performance concerns to identify what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus your energy.
Size Up Sessions are HSA/FSA Eligible.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, fine-tuning your approach, workshopping a specific movement, or tackling a specific challenge like coming back from an injury, this session will leave you with clarity and actionable steps tailored to your needs.
What the Size-Up Session Includes
This consultation is a one-time service that includes:
Review of your questionnaire
A 1-hour call the covers your goal, questionnaire, personalized recommendations and Q&A
Post-call documentation with written recommendations, guidelines, and resources
One week of ongoing support through the Firefighter Strength Coach app for questions, clarifications, and adjustments
Please note that ongoing coaching beyond the one-week support period is not included. Follow-up questions or modifications after this time require an additional Size-Up Session or a shift to 1:1 coaching for more comprehensive support. This is also not the writing of an entire strength & conditioning program.
What’s the Process?
1. Schedule
Choose a time that works for you from Coach Vanessa’s availability. These are 1-hour video calls conducted via Google Meet, so all you’ll need is a stable internet connection.
2. Questionnaire
After scheduling your Size-Up Session, you’ll receive an extensive questionnaire via email. This form dives deep into your current health and performance metrics, goals, injury history, and existing protocols for training, nutrition, and sleep. The detailed questions help Vanessa gain a comprehensive understanding of where you are and what you’re aiming for.
3. Call
During the call, you’ll go over your questionnaire responses with Coach Vanessa. She’ll ask clarifying questions, provide professional recommendations, and outline practical guidelines for moving toward your goals. These may include:
Training guidance
Nutritional recommendations, including supplementation advice
Mindset strategies to support resilience
While relationship advice isn’t included, Vanessa can offer communication tips to improve personal and professional interactions.
4. Post-Call Documentation
Within a few days of your call, you’ll receive a written summary of everything discussed, including recommendations and any additional resources, as well as a recording of the session. This documentation serves as a roadmap to help you stay on track.
5. 1 Week of Ongoing Support
Your Size-Up Session includes 1 week of follow-up support via the Firefighter Strength Coach app after delivery of your post call documentation. Through text, voice, or video messaging, you’ll have access to Coach Vanessa to ask questions, seek clarifications, and make adjustments as you implement your action plan. This ensures you feel confident in applying what you’ve learned and helps address any challenges that arise along the way. Think of it as having a coach in your corner to guide you through the next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Follow-up sessions follow a similar format to the initial Size-Up Session. After purchase and scheduling, you’ll complete a shorter follow-up questionnaire focused on changes since your last call. These sessions also include post-call documentation to keep you on track & 1 week. Vanessa recommends scheduling follow-ups at least four weeks after your last session to measure progress and adjust as needed. You need to have completed an initial session prior to a follow up.
