Your fitness journey can already feel overwhelming, and the last thing you need from coaching is uncertainty. Check out the FAQ below to find the answers you're looking for!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General

  • It depends on what you need! Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of both options:

    In-Person Training

    ✓ Hands-on guidance with form correction in real-time

    ✓ Immediate motivation and accountability

    ✓ Great for beginners who need step-by-step instruction

    ✗ Higher cost — typically $95-$120 per 45-min session

    ✗ Requires scheduling around a trainer’s availability

    ✗ No continuous support outside of sessions

    Online Coaching

    ✓ More cost-effective with ongoing support for a fraction of the cost of in-person training

    ✓ Fully personalised program tailored to your goals, schedule, and preferences

    ✓ Flexibility — train when and where it suits you

    ✓ More accountability, guidance, and education beyond just workouts

    ✗ No in-person form correction (but video feedback is available)

    If you need real-time hands-on coaching, in-person might be better. But if you want flexibility, affordability, and ongoing support without being limited to a trainer’s schedule, online coaching is the smarter choice.

  • Nope! You can train at home with basic equipment. 

    If you don’t have a gym membership, I’ll design a home-friendly program that works with dumbbells, resistance bands, or even household items like water bottles.

  • My coaching is for women at all stages of their fitness journey who want to:

    ✓ Get into a routine they enjoy

    ✓ Build a healthy relationship with food

    ✓ Feel confident in their body and in the gym

    ✓ Learn about fitness so they can turn coaching into a long-term, sustainable lifestyle change that empowers them to stay consistent and independent in their fitness journey


    I know everyone’s lifestyle is different, so I’ve created different options so no matter your fitness level, lifestyle, or budget, there’s an option designed for you!

    • 1:1 Coaching: More than just support and accountability — it’s about building long-term results, lifelong habits, and education around training, nutrition, and mindset. If you want daily guidance, personalised adjustments, and the tools to stay consistent for life, this is for you.

    • Casual Coaching: Perfect if you want guidance from a coach to achieve your goals but prefer to skip coaching meetings and tracking of your training or food.

    • Custom Program: Perfect for those who just want a structured workout plan but don’t need coaching.

  • Each coaching option is designed for different levels of support and accountability. 

    To see which one fits you best, check out the individual pages (“1:1 Coaching”, “Casual Coaching” & “Custom Program”) or visit the FAQ sections below for a quick breakdown of each option!

  • If you’ve read through individual service pages and still can’t decide, I’ve created a 3-minute Coaching Quiz to find your perfect fit!

  • If you train at a gym — great! 

    If not, home workouts are totally doable. You’ll need basic equipment such as a mat, some dumbbells (or even water bottles if you’re new) and resistance bands. Your program will be adjusted based on what you have.

  • Anyone who guarantees results is lying to you — because your success is in your hands. Your consistency, effort, and commitment are what will drive your success. As your fitness coach, I’ll provide you with the plan, support, motivation, and guidance, but at the end of the day, you get out what you put in!

    So the question is back at you — can you commit to coaching and give it your 100%?

    What I can guarantee is that, through coaching:
    ✓ You’ll build habits that actually stick, so fitness becomes part of your lifestyle, not just another thing to start and stop
    ✓ You’ll feel stronger, more confident, and in control of your body and workouts
    ✓ You’ll learn how to train & fuel yourself properly, so you never have to start over again

    I’m here to support you every step of the way — but the first step? That’s on you. Are you ready? Let’s make it happen!

  • It’s in the name —Movement with Mish… but who is Mish?

    That’s me! But I won’t give you the “I’m a certified fitness coach and I love fitness” speech.

    What really matters is why you're here. You’re here because you’re ready for a change. Maybe you’ve struggled to stay consistent. Maybe you’re tired of looking in the mirror and not feeling great. Maybe the gym feels intimidating. Maybe you’re tired of starting over.

    Whatever brought you here, I want you to know — you can do this. And I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

    I started Movement with Mish because I know firsthand how fitness can change everything. Growing up, I struggled with confidence, always feeling like I was on the outside looking in. When I first stepped into the gym, I thought getting my dream body would make me feel better about myself — but what I found was so much bigger.

    Fitness didn’t just change how I looked—it changed how I showed up for myself. It gave me confidence, resilience, and the belief that I was capable of more than I ever thought possible.

    That’s why my coaching isn’t just about workouts and macros — it’s about helping you build confidence, develop knowledge, sustainable habits, and take control of your health in a way that lasts. Because fitness shouldn’t feel like another chore on your to-do list. It should feel empowering, fun, and aligned with your life.

    You deserve to feel strong, capable, and in control of your journey—and I’m here to help you make that happen!

    • Weekly 1:1 Coaching: More frequent support and adjustments with weekly check-ins.

    • Monthly 1:1 Coaching: Designed for those who prefer monthly check-ins.

    Alternatively, Casual Coaching provides a more flexible approach to coaching. More information here.

    • Weekly 1:1 Coaching: 105 / week

    • Monthly 1:1 Coaching 95 / week

    • Casual 1:1 Coaching: Pricing information on Casual 1:1 Coaching page.

    • Daily text support: You’ll have access to ongoing support via text for any general questions, form checks, or guidance between check-ins. I’ll typically respond within 1-3 hours to ensure you stay on track.

    • Weekly Reflection Form: To make the most of our check-in calls, you’ll submit a Weekly Reflection Form at least 24 hours before our scheduled session. This form helps track your progress, highlight challenges, and refine your plan.

    • 1:1 Coaching Calls: Depending on your coaching plan, we’ll have weekly or monthly video calls (30 minutes) to go over your progress, adjust your training and nutrition where needed, and ensure you’re feeling confident in your journey. You’ll receive a unique meeting link within your coaching program to join these calls.

  • Coaching lasts as long as you need to fit your goals, lifestyle, and progress! The first three months help you build a strong foundation, and after that, you have a few options:

    1. Continue your current coaching on a month-to-month basis for as long as it supports you.

    2. Switch to a higher or lower-touch coaching plan — whether that’s Weekly, Monthly, or Casual Coaching.

    3. Graduate from coaching and confidently continue your journey on your own!

    Whatever path you choose, the goal is to make sure you feel strong, empowered, and ready to keep progressing.

  • Yes, you can pause or cancel coaching to accommodate life circumstances such as holidays, sickness, or injuries.

    • You may pause coaching for up to 2 consecutive weeks at a time.

    • You may cancel coaching anytime after the first 3 months.

    • Requests must be made in advance, except in emergencies.

    During the Pause:

    • Coaching services, including program updates and feedback, will be paused.

    • You will still have access to previously provided resources.

    • Your coaching will be extended by the length of the pause.

  • For sure! You can switch between Weekly, Monthly or even Casual Coaching based on your needs. Coaching changes are allowed once per month.

  • Nope! Your coaching experience and program will be customised to suit your available equipment — whether it’s a full gym setup or home workouts with minimal equipment

Casual Coaching 

  • The Casual 1:1 Coaching plan include:

    • Client Profile to store all your weekly reflections and feedback, helping you stay organised.

    • Custom Workout Programs tailored to your goals, including workout demonstrations and strength progression guidance.

    • Nutritional Guidance based on your needs, whether that’s macro recommendations or general advice to support your goals without strict tracking.

    • Ongoing Programming Adjustments made as needed based on your reflections and feedback, ensuring your training stays aligned with your goals.

    Compared to Weekly & Monthly 1:1 Coaching, this option does not include progress tracking tools, weekly or monthly coaching meetings, daily text support, or access to a coaching platform.

  • Casual Coaching is the middle ground between non-coaching options and close coaching like Weekly 1:1 Coaching.

    If you want structured programming and weekly support to ensure you’re on the right track and don’t need a coach to track your progress, this is for you.

    Examples of clients who will benefit the most from this program:

    • Busy Professionals & Students with a packed schedule and prefer a flexible approach to fitness without regular check-ins but still want a tailored plan.

    • Shift Workers with unpredictable work hours who can’t commit to regular check-ins but still want structured workouts and coach guidance.

    • Novice or Intermediate Lifters who feel stuck or are returning to a regular exercise routine after a break, who need a structured plan to ease in without the pressure of high-touch coaching.

    • Busy Mothers who are balancing family life, want a plan they can follow at their own pace without added check-ins.

    • Travellers who move around often and need a plan that adapts to different environments.

    However, if you’re looking for regular coaching meetings, recipes, tracking tools and daily support, Weekly or Monthly 1:1 Coaching may be a better fit for you!
