FAQ
Each FAQ will be answered by Silverback Strength Founder Dan Pagnotta
Each of us must take personal responsibility for our own fitness, food lifestyle, and general wellness. I can not guarantee you will hold up your end and because you own your wellness, we do not make superficial guarantees.
However, I can guarantee if any client is dissatisfied with their coach, I will personally conduct a review and set things right.
Ask yourself the questions below and if you can answer “yes†to them all, then SILVERBACK STRENGTH Online Personal Training Programs may be ideal for you:
· Am I sick and tired of exercise fad, crash diets, or fitness gimmicks?
· Am I committed to completing my workouts each week and tracking my results?
· Do I want to be able to have direct communication with my trainer?
· Do I want clear and easy-to-understand workout plans based on my needs?
· Do I want to have a professional trainer assisting me with motivation and accountability?
-Do I want to learn the best way to train for my body type, my lifestyle, and my needs?
I have always had a bit of a struggle with social media. Too often social media can feel rather fake, misinformed, and often negative.
With the SILVERBACK STRENGTH brand growing, I’d like to provide more authenticity and relatable content to everyone that follows my account. Over the next few months we will be focusing on our social media development.
We are looking forward to engaging with both current and future clients. Check us out across all social media platforms and give us a follow on:
Depending on the type of injury and the stage of healing, Your coach can create programs that limit or avoid stress to the affected site. We can also develop corrective exercise strategies to improve mobility, joint stabilization, connective tissue strength, and flexibility.
However, no corrective exercise or post-rehabilitation program delivered by any SILVERBACK STRENGTH coach is intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease or mechanical malalignment. Within our scope of practice, we will work with you to fine-tune a progressive program that works to inhibit overactive musculature, stimulate underactive muscle structures, activate biomechanical efficiency, and integrate compound movements to enhance functionality.
Ah! One question every trainer receives from new clients is “how long will it take for me to see results?†Trainers or fitness scams that promise results in ridiculous time frames are misleading and have greatly altered reasonable expectations. In addition, this has created a culture of fitness failure and fosters a sense of hopelessness. I suggest most folks stay off the scale and not measure yourself by standards outside of your own unique physiology, genetic makeup and current condition. I like to measure based on composition change, fat loss, muscle development and strength increases…the stuff that matters!
Bottom line: results depend on several factors including genetic disposition, physiological adaptation to prescribed exercises, effort applied to each workout, consistency, proper caloric ratio and intake, nutritional quality and variety. As a general example, if your goal is body fat loss, a male can safely lose approximately 1.5-2.0lbs per week and females 1.0-1.5lbs. This means a healthy female may lose up to 4-6 pounds of pure body fat every 4 weeks. Notice we say “body fat†and not “weight†because muscle is 500% more dense than fat making your total body weight increase while your waist size decreases.
No problem! One of the outstanding benefits of working with SILVERBACK STRENGTH is our adaptability to your resources and lifestyle. I work with individuals that travel, have tight schedules or simply do not want to or can’t get to a commercial fitness center. While gym memberships are very helpful in adding variety to your program by way of providing a wide range of equipment options, it is not necessary to see a degree of fitness success. Each program is based on what you have available. For clients with home gyms, I will build the program with all of your equipment in mind. I do encourage clients to make modest investments in resistance bands, stability balls, foam rollers, or other apparatus that will add benefits to and accelerate reaching your potential.
Because every single client program is built from scratch, it can take a few days to have everything done and loaded. Our goal is to have all new client programs built, loaded, and reviewed within 1-2 business days from enrollment.
Yes, but I would hate to see you go! Before you cancel, make sure you have communicated your needs completely with your Coach. It is our goal to support you and we will be happy to get you with the right coaching dynamic. At SILVERBACK STRENGTH, we can write programs for just about anyone so if you are not getting what you need, speak up!
NOTE: you may cancel your recurring dues 10 DAYS PRIOR to your billing date with written notice directly to your coach. Please message your Coach in the app messenger and they will facilitate the cancellation.
Keep in mind, SILVERBACK STRENGTH is not a gimmick or quick fix and I expect all clients to see results. You must resolve to patiently and persistently execute each and every workout with the mindset of absolute success. One of the challenging situations to work through with clients is their tendency to deceive themselves about how much effort they truly put into a workout, nutrition, or general fitness lifestyle. I seek to avoid that, and we will work with each client to motivate and guide them to the very best of our ability.
Your professional fitness and nutrition coach will determine the general course of coaching calls based on their observations, your conversations, and any other data they collect relevant to you. This included information in your original assessment form, conversations, or messages. The typical coaching session follows a three-system format which includes workout/fitness review, nutrition/food review, and general mindset coaching.
If your coach asks to see videos of you performing certain exercises or movements you can easily send short exercise videos to your coach to review right through the SILVERBACK STRENGTH app messenger.
Simple. People come from different walks of life, and I believe that everyone is in a different place physically and psychologically and the body you see in a picture used for marketing is not yours. Comparing yourself to others should not be a prime motivation. I feel a person should compare themselves to themselves as that is the real measure!
And, I respect my clients privacy. Many wish to not share pictures on the internet for their own reasons. I don’t force it, I respect it.
Whether its 5lbs or 50lbs lost, 2 inches or 20 inches, 100lbs bench press or 500lbs bench press, your progress is your YOUR WIN!
