How is PaleOMG Align different from your previous programs?

PaleOMG Align is designed to help people get results without spending their life in the gym. My Power Programs are all 5x per week, but Align is just 3x per week! In the weekly programming, Align has solely full body workouts, so you're always challenging multiple muscle groups. I’m so excited to challenge you, push you, and get you the results you’ve always wanted!

How long is the program?

The PaleOMG Align Program is 12 weeks long. Your workouts will be released in 4-week drips to keep you focused on the workouts that month.

Can I buy the Align & Shine Box without buying the Align program?

Hopefully in the future! Right now, the Align & Shine Box can only be purchased along with the Align program. There is a limited quantity of boxes, but if there is high demand for the Align & Shine Box, I'll sell it on its own!

Is the monthly option a subscription?

No, this is a payment plan, not a subscription. A payment plan eases the financial burden of the program cost by splitting up the program cost into 3 payments. After 3 payments (1 per month), there will be no more payments and you'll have lifetime access to the program you purchased!

Do I have access to the program after the 12 weeks months are over?

Yes!! You’ll have lifetime access to the workouts and our private membership community after you complete the 12-week program.  

What equipment do I need for the program?

You’ll need a barbell, a rack, bumper plates, dumbbells, cable machine (or long loop bands), TRX, loop bands, glides or sliders, stability ball, bench or box, and a jump rope. If your gym doesn’t have this equipment or you can’t get all of it, no worries! I can make customized modifications to work specific muscle groups doing the optional add-on one-on-one coaching calls with me. Or, you could check out the home version of Align, which uses less equipment!

Can I still do the program if I don’t have all the equipment?

Yes! But you might want to check out the home version of Align, which is designed for people with less equipment access. If you'd prefer to proceed with the gym version with limited equipment access, I can customize movements to work specific muscle groups in my optional one-on-one calls.

How many workouts per week?

There will be 3 total workouts per week! In each month (four weeks of programming), the odd weeks and even weeks will be the same so you can measure progress! For example, the workouts you do in week one will be the same as week three. This is to help you push yourself through progressive overload, which gets you results.  

Can I do extra cardio on top of this program?

You are welcome to add in cardio to this program, BUT the Align Program is designed to get you results in just three days a week. When you add in extra cardio on top of all these workouts, you may add extra stress to the body which will cause inflammation and hinder your results. We are constantly told that we need to do extra cardio to lose weight and to see our body change, but it will actually be the progressive overload and clean diet that helps you reach your goals long term.

Are there both beginner AND advanced options?

This program is meant for an beginner level, but I have an advanced level as well!

Is this program good for a beginner?

Yes! If you need extra guidance, you may need to book a one-on-one call with me to chat through any modifications within the movements and the sets/reps.

Is there a meal plan available during this program?

Not with this program, but checked out my Power Program Meal Guide or Power30 Recipe book. Both are sold on Teachable and have delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that will fuel your body and muscles for performance. They’re also all gluten-free, low carb, and dairy-free! 

Will this program help me lose weight?

Yes, with progressive overload, PaleOMG Align Program will help you build muscle, boost your metabolism, and in turn, lose weight. But losing weight starts with your diet, first and foremost. Diet is key for long-term physical changes, but lifting weights will ensure that your metabolism stays high and works in your favor.

How long is each workout?

Each workout is about 60 minutes long, only 3x per week! 

This is a progressive overload program, but will it help me lean out?

Yes, this program will help you lean out IF your diet is clean and you stay away from inflammatory foods/drinks, such as sugar, alcohol, and processed foods.

Do I need to track calories or macros? 

If you are more comfortable with tracking calories and/or macros, go for it! I do not track either and I have found that I am able to lose weight and keep it off by simply staying away from sugar, alcohol, and processed foods as much as possible...and by not stressing about how much I eat. I have learned to intuitively eat by simply eating the foods that work with my body and limiting the foods I know that I know do harm. In the past, I've obsessed over food and how much I'm eating, but once I was able to part ways with those habits, I found that I actually lost weight because I removed a stressor in my life (the stress of obsessing over every parcel of food). Just food for thought! You can do whatever you feel works best for you and your lifestyle!

Is every workout the same each month?

Yes and no. You’ll repeat every other week, but only once! Then you'll receive a new month of workouts where two of the weeks repeat.

Do the workouts change each month or are they the same throughout all 12 weeks?

The Align Program is 12 weeks long, and you'll do 18 unique workouts over the 12 weeks. I design my programming to repeat once so you can see your progress before to a new schedule. You'll be amazed to see how much stronger you can get in just two weeks!

Why will I repeat workouts every two weeks? Why not constantly change them up?

You'll repeat workouts every two weeks, but only once! Align has 18 unique workouts, and each will challenge you in new ways. I like programming this way for two reasons: 1) You’ll continuously target and stimulate specific groups of muscles through repetition, and 2) you’ll be able to track your improved strength every two weeks! In my 10+ years of experience in fitness, I’ve found that this is the best way to truly get results, and I’m excited to share this format with you!!

How do I know if I’m lifting a heavy enough weight?

This can be hard to figure out at the beginning, but you'll get better at it throughout the program. What needs to be dialed in first is your FORM. Once your form is nailed down, then you can concentrate on the weight. If you get through a set of 15 reps and those last 3-5 reps weren't challenging or the 15 reps didn't leave you feeling fatigued, it's time to increase the weight. Write your weights down and even jot down if a set was too easy, then you'll know next time to increase your weights. But a good way to judge if a weight is heavy enough is if it's challenging those last few reps. You'll get better at figuring this out throughout the program!

Can I book a one-on-one call with you?

Yes! Once you join the PaleOMG Align Program, you’ll be able to book one-on-one calls with me for a fee. When you book a call time, you’ll be able to specify the area you need guidance, from motivation to meals to form to alternate movements, so I can maximize our time on the phone together. I look forward to meeting you! 

I don’t see my question here. Can I email you? 

Yes! Email [email protected] and someone on my team (or me) will get back to you!
