We’re what fitness would look like
if the fitness industry was actually regulated.

Learn the science from people with advanced degrees in it. And get out from under the fitness industry's thumb.

Physicans.
Dieticians.
Chiropractors.
Hair stylists.
Nail technicians.

They all need to be licensed.
But fitness professionals? Nope.

So we aim to give our field the same level of expertise that a hospital gives treating disease. Evidence-based education and customized fitness programs—that’s our jam.

So what can we do for you?

All our services are live and virtual. Pick the method that fits what you need.

Group

12-week course

Think of it as the 101 class of everything people should know. It’s a set curriculum, each week tackling a different topic in the field of nutrition, exercise, or behavior change.

One-to-one

Personal sessions

You choose the topic. Whether it’s weight loss, a personal or athletic goal, or a health & fitness issue. Learn the facts you need to know, as the science applies to you.

We teach you the science of health & fitness, so you won’t need us anymore.

(Unless you want us.)

  • Classes and personal sessions give you personalized guidance and accountability.

  • You’ll learn about health, nutrition, and exercise in a non-stuffy format.

  • We break down the science of metabolism, and bust some common myths along the way.

What we’re not.

✘ We are not a cookie-cutter training program.

✘ We are not automated notifications from your weight loss app.

✘ We are not a trainer with a weekend certification.

✘ We were not a (insert any occupation here) six weeks ago.

✘ We are not a physician who is looking to dabble in fitness or nutrition.

✘ We are not a gym or a training app that’s charging you a subscription, whether or not you actually use us.

What we are.

✔︎ We teach what works based on science, and help each person apply it to their own life.

✔︎ We do live sessions, and we can confirm: we’re real people.

✔︎ We are advance-degreed practitioners in metabolism, exercise, biomechanics and nutrition.

✔︎ We’ve worked with thousands of people, at reputable places like Mayo Clinic, The University of Colorado and Olympic Training Centers.

✔︎ Our educations were focused in this field, it wasn’t one or two elective classes. And we keep up with the latest research.

✔︎ You pay for the knowledge and time you get. We’re not into milking people’s wallets.

People tried us. Here’s what they said.

  • “I have been to several nutrition and exercise boot camps, as well as two different nutritionists; this is the first course that has given me such an understanding on how to approach everyday life."

    —Jane

  • “With the rise of fitness influencers and the ongoing cycle of diet / exercise fads, fitness can be such a frustrating journey, because it's hard to know what to trust. During this 12-week program I learned about the variety of science-based approaches I can take to reach my wellness goals (and spoiler, I still get to eat that cookie and don't actually have to exercise an hour a day)."

    —Kathleen

  • “This class has been truly life-changing for me. While that may sound hyperbolic, it's completely accurate. I have struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food from deprivation to binging since my teens. This is the first time I understand my choices, don't feel deprived and feel that I have the power over my food and exercise choices."

    —J.D.

  • “I recently completed the 12-week group program with PhD Fitness, and couldn't be happier with my experience! The overall program was incredibly effective and well-structured. The information was presented in a non-intimidating way, making it accessible for everyone, regardless of their fitness level. Highly recommend!”

    —Carrie

  • “Dr. Joel is so generous with his wealth of knowledge, meets you where you're at on your journey, and helps you design a sustainable plan for a healthy and fit life. Through this program I've regained strength, confidence, and my clothes even fit better! I am forever grateful.”

    —Katie
