3. Description of Services

Shira | Strength Coaching provides fitness-focused, educational strength coaching services.

Services may include:

Private strength and movement mentorship
In-person coaching sessions
Duo coaching sessions
Exercise education and movement guidance
Training app access for workout notes, session materials, tracking, and progress history
Optional alumni support or alumni coaching after completing the mentorship

The Foundation Mentorship is a structured 10-session coaching process designed to help clients learn strength-training fundamentals, understand movement patterns, build confidence with equipment, and develop the skills to train more independently.

Each mentorship session generally focuses on one training topic or movement principle. Sessions may include a short educational explanation followed by guided strength training and hands-on practice.

Ongoing coaching or alumni support may be available only after completing the mentorship and is optional.

Services are fitness coaching and educational in nature. They are not medical care, physical therapy, rehabilitation, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for care from a licensed medical professional.

Details regarding coaching scope, limitations, safety responsibilities, and participation requirements may be further defined in the Coaching Agreement & Safety Acknowledgment, which is incorporated by reference.

Payment terms, pricing, included services, cancellation rules, and scheduling expectations are provided on the Mentorship page, in the Coaching Agreement, or in written communication before enrollment.

Unless otherwise stated in writing:

Sessions are scheduled based on mutual availability.

The Foundation Mentorship is generally designed to be completed over approximately 5 weeks, with sessions ideally scheduled twice per week when possible. Actual scheduling may vary based on client and coach availability.
