FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes this different from other personal training?
The goal of our program is to give you agency over your body, then the capability to change the world. You won't just feel stronger or look better after a few months — you'll feel the improvement immediately in your day-to-day life as well as over the years.
How do small group lessons work?
Bring a partner, family member, or friends — up to 5 people in total. Each person pays their own share per session: $60 each for 2, $50 each for 3, $45 each for 4, and $40 each for 5. Each session is planned around everyone in the group, so each person still gets coaching for their own body and goals. Every member of the group should be part of the conversation during the free consultation — ideally, everyone is there in person, so we can hear each person's goals and get started on the right foot together.
Do I need to be in shape before I start?
No! Many people start because they don't feel 'in shape'. Come as you are, and I will help you move forward at a pace that's safe, sustainable, and substantive.
Can I still train with injuries or chronic pain?
Yes. That's one of the best reasons to train privately. Every session is adjusted to what your body can handle that day. One-on-one lessons are usually the best fit while you're working through an injury.
How is this different from physical therapy?
Physical therapy focuses on recovering from an injury. This isn't just recovery from an injury — it's active progression towards your goals, whether that's moving without pain, getting stronger, or performing at your best. I'm a certified personal trainer, not a licensed physical therapist, so I don't diagnose or treat injuries; if you're currently in physical therapy, I'm glad to work alongside your therapist's guidance.
Do you also teach Muay Thai?
Yes — private Muay Thai lessons, one-on-one or in a small group, in coordination with Muay Thai Iyarin. Feel free to contact us to learn more.
Do I need a Muay Thai Iyarin membership?
No — anyone can train with Tree of Life, no Muay Thai Iyarin membership required. But if you are a member, you get a discount!
What if I have to reschedule a lesson?
No worries — life happens. Reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours ahead at no charge; later cancellations count as a used session.
