Questions people ask before they book.

Sessions start at $85 (virtual) and $120 (in-studio), sold in 4- and 8-week blocks. Meal prep runs $95 to $235 a week. Memberships — which bundle sessions, meals, and check-ins — are $395, $845, and $1,595 a month with a three-month initial term.

Every price is published on this site. Nothing is quoted on the call that isn’t here. See memberships for the full comparison.

Memberships have a three-month initial term, then run month to month with 14 days’ notice and no cancellation fee. You can freeze for up to 30 days a year at no charge, in 7-day increments, with five days’ notice; longer medical or travel freezes are handled case by case.

Meal prep can be skipped any week by Thursday noon. Session blocks are paid up front and can be paused once for travel. The full policy is on the memberships page.

For most people, yes — provided the sessions are live and the programming is built for what you have. Virtual sessions are coached on camera in real time, not sent as a PDF. We’ve coached clients through hotel gyms, garages, and a one-bedroom with two kettlebells.

Where remote is weaker is the first two weeks with a heavy barbell if you’ve never lifted. If you’re local we’ll usually suggest two in-studio sessions to start; if you’re not, we lean on film-based form checks until the patterns are solid.

Tree nut, peanut, shellfish, egg, soy, sesame, and dairy are flagged on your application and kept out of your meals. Gluten-conscious and dairy-light dishes are marked on every menu. We are not a certified allergen-free kitchen — we handle wheat and nuts on the same line — so a severe allergy should be discussed on the call.

We don’t build custom menus around dislikes, but Full Caliber members get two swaps a week, and anyone can skip a week.

Depends on what you’re measuring. Strength moves in two to three weeks — that’s mostly your nervous system learning the lifts. Energy and sleep usually change in the first fourteen days once food is handled. Visible body-composition change is a six-to-twelve-week thing at 85 percent adherence; the people on the results page show what that looks like.

What we won’t do is promise a number by a date. We’ll tell you what’s realistic on the call.

No. In-studio sessions happen in our private studio in Northeast Minneapolis; there’s no separate membership. Virtual clients train with what they have — we’ll tell you the two or three pieces of equipment that would make the biggest difference if you want to add them, and we program around it if you don’t.

Programming-only clients do need somewhere to train, and we write the block for that gym.

Yes. Meal prep is available without training: $95 a week for five dinners, $175 for weekday lunch and dinner, or $235 for seven days of lunch and dinner. Order by Thursday noon; pick up Sunday or Wednesday, or take metro delivery on Sunday for $15.

The menu tracks the same three goals — recomp, fat loss, performance — so you’ll pick one on your first order. Details on the meal prep page.

Week one: an assessment session of about 75 minutes, your written block, and — if you’re on meal prep — a first delivery the following Sunday. Two coached sessions, one check-in.

Week two: two more sessions, first loads go up, and your first weekly review, where we adjust anything that didn’t fit. By day fourteen you have a rhythm: sessions on the calendar, meals in the fridge, and a coach who’s read your log twice.

Almost certainly — and we’d rather hear about it on the call than in week three. The assessment screens movement before we load it; the block is written around what your body tolerates today and progressed as that changes.

If something needs a physical therapist or physician first, we’ll say so. We work alongside several in the city and refer without hesitation.

A gym gives you access. An app gives you a template. Neither reads your log on Sunday night and changes Monday’s session because you slept four hours.

The difference is a person managing the whole picture — training, food, recovery — with the authority to adjust it and few enough clients that they can. That’s expensive to do well, which is why the roster is limited and the prices are what they are.

Travel is the most common constraint our clients have, so the system is built for it: virtual sessions in the hotel gym, a travel-week version of your block that needs two dumbbells, and meals paused and prorated for the days you’re gone. Full Caliber members move sessions between formats week to week without asking.

One private studio in Northeast Minneapolis, sessions by appointment from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday mornings. The exact address comes with your booking confirmation.

The kitchen is a few doors down: pickup Sunday 2–6 p.m. and Wednesday 4–7 p.m., or delivery inside the I-494/694 loop on Sunday evening for $15 a week. Everything else — virtual sessions, check-ins, reviews — is remote.
