FAQs:
What makes our programs successful?
YOU do.
If you want to be active and fit and you’re ready to make your health and fitness a priority, you’re more likely to succeed in our programs. If you’re resilient, honest, motivated, curious, flexible, dedicated, hard working, inquisitive, and have a good sense of humor, then we’ll make a good team. If you’re not ready to put in the work, then it’s not the right time.
How do our programs work?
All of our nutrition programs follow our signature 4 steps to maximum health & fitness:
- “Assess for Success:” With our detailed nutrition & lifestyle questionnaire, body composition 7-site skinfold analysis, and food log review, we dig deeply into your habits to truly assess where you are and what needs to change.
- “Get SMART:” By setting SMART goals, we’ll work together to create your personal winning solution, putting all the pieces together to maximize your success.
- “Plant the Seeds:” Get empowered with your personalized nutrition & fitness education based on your assessment and goals. This could include everything from meal timing, macronutrient needs, workout design, menu planning, dining out, and food shopping, including the option for a grocery store tour.
- “Make a Game Plan:” We’ll work together to develop your custom meal & fitness plan, including food, exercise and supplement recommendations.
Our Expectations of You
Our programs are intended to benefit your health and fitness, but please understand that results vary based upon various factors, including body type, genetics, prior fitness level, sleep, stress, travel, and level of commitment. Most importantly, you agree to:
- Commit to yourself and take responsibility for your results;
- Commit to the coaching process, make time for communication with your coach, and take the proposed action after each session.
- Use your coach as a resource and partner and integrate and synthesize your coach’s advice with your own thinking;
- Tell the truth: be honest with your coach and yourself, even if it is uncomfortable;
- Be ready to stretch in ways that may, at first, feel uncomfortable; and
- Do the work!

“I took 23 minutes off of Ironman Raleigh following the [hydration & fueling] plan in what I’ll call “hellish heat” on the run. Didn’t bonk or have any issues other than some overheating on the run but didn’t have a blowup like previous 2 years. Seeing training runs and workouts go much smoother with this plan. I’m noticing I have energy after workouts and feel decent for the most part unlike last time I trained for a full when I felt dead the entire time. I had no stomach, GI or any type of issues when it came to fueling. I found our plan was clear, easy to follow and provided more than enough for me.”
—Matt H
“I must admit I was a little skeptical at first. I thought I had a pretty good bit of knowledge of making healthy eating choices, but I decided to give them a try as I was not getting the results are maintaining good energy levels on my own. I was pleasantly surprised! I have not had this much energy in a long time and I have had some success, finally, in losing some weight. You cannot do it on working out alone, at least I apparently could not. I highly recommend this team!”
—Pamela Walker
“I cannot thank the Endurance Edge team enough for helping me to qualify for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in the Marathon! I approached Chris at the Endurance Edge after experiencing electrolyte issues around mile 19 of the 2019 California International Marathon. In less than four weeks, I had an individualized hydration and fueling plan that I was CONFIDENT in. This made all the difference and resulted in an 8+ min PR, and Olympic Trails Qualifying time at the 2020 Houston Marathon. I highly recommend the Endurance Edge for your individualized hydration, fueling, and recovery plans! Thank you!”
