I joined the Distance Fitness Coaching Program about six months ago and have been very pleased with it. It only requires a once-a-month commitment. Each month I am retested on a standard that allows me to see my progress and I am given routines that address specific areas where I need improvement. I can do these routines in a gym, a hotel room or my home no excuses for not working out. R. Johnson, Medcan Distance Fitness Coaching client Custom program design: Your biomechanical testing results will inform your workout regimen. We want to optimize the effectiveness of your workouts just for you. We apply research-based exercise science to develop your workouts and to ensure they are safe.

I have been enrolled in Distance Fitness Coaching for almost six months and I love the program and the results. My schedule makes it very difficult to commit to regular times to meet with a Distance Fitness coach, so having a meeting once a month is perfect. As well, I email my results each week to get feedback and my coach adjusts my workouts based on the progress I have made. Excellent program. M. Lerohl, Medcan Distance Fitness Coaching client Workout and tracking sheets: After each monthly check-in, you will receive a new workout in PDF format via mymedcan, our online client portal.
