Health coaching and training · Online and in Portland

What does well actually look like for you?

Most programs answer that for you before they have asked. This one starts with the question.

I'm Ian Kendall, a certified health coach and personal trainer.

The idea

Nobody else gets to decide what well means for you.

Someone else's 5am routine. Someone else's meal plan. Someone else's idea of a good day. Most of what gets sold as wellness is a stranger's life, packaged.

Well might be a hard session on a Tuesday. It might be ten quiet minutes after the kids are finally down. Both are real. Only one of them is being sold to you.


How I coach

Start underneath. Then build on it.

Whatever your version looks like, it needs something holding it up. Most people are not lazy. They are tired. Adding effort on top of no sleep and too much stress works until the first difficult week.

So we start at the bottom. Sleep, breathing, stress. Then we build, and it holds. I bring the questions, the structure and the evidence. What you do with it stays yours.

Who you would be working with

Ian Kendall

Certified health coach and personal trainer, online and in Portland

Before I coached anyone, I played professional baseball, so I know hard training from the inside. Later, on the gym floor, I kept seeing capable people run hard programs on empty and then blame themselves when those programs fell apart.

So I start underneath. Sleep, breathing and stress recovery first, then training that fits the week you actually have. The goal is for you to understand your own body well enough to make your own calls.

The sequence

What we do, in order.

The same three steps, whichever way we work together.

1

Get your energy back

Sleep, breathing, stress. The boring part that makes everything else possible.

2

Add the training

Real work, built around your equipment, your schedule, and what you actually have in the tank.

3

You run it, not me

By the end you are making your own calls about what to change and when. Some people take it from there. Some keep a hand on the wheel. Both are the work going well.

My goal is for you to trust yourself.
