Certifications show what a coach has been tested on. They do not replace a conversation, so use your free introduction to ask Anna how that training shapes the way they coach.
Every coach at Legacy works independently inside the facility, which means you choose the coach, and the coach builds the program. No membership is required to train with a coach. Coaching is booked directly with the coach you choose.
Anna's profile lists strength & performance and body recomposition as the main focus areas.
Skills and services the profile names: Strength Training, Olympic Weightlifting, Sports Performance, and Bodybuilding.
Strength and performance training uses progressive overload on the major lifts and athletic movements to build force, power and resilience. It serves anyone who wants to be stronger, from a first barbell squat to a competitive athlete preparing for a season.
Lifts are taught and reviewed first, because a clean pattern makes heavier weight safer and more productive.
Weights, sets and reps are laid out across weeks, with built-in lighter weeks, so strength climbs without constant plateaus or burnout.
For athletes, the program is matched to the demands and calendar of the sport: strength in the off-season, power and maintenance as competition nears.
Every session is logged, so you can see what you lifted last month and what the next target is.
Every plan is built around the individual, so your coach will adjust this. As a general shape, the first four weeks of strength & performance coaching tend to run like this.
Squat, hinge, press and pull patterns are taught and assessed with light weight.
Sets and reps are set at manageable loads, and you start logging each session.
Small weight or rep increases are added where technique allows.
A planned lighter week lets the body adapt. Then your numbers are reviewed and the next block begins.
Body recomposition is the goal of losing fat and building or keeping muscle at the same time, so the scale matters less than what the body is made of. It is slower to read on a bathroom scale and more durable than a crash diet, because the training signal that tells the body to keep muscle stays on while energy intake is managed.
A baseline first. Your coach records starting measurements, movement quality, training history and current eating habits, so progress is compared with your own numbers rather than a generic target.
Resistance training as the engine. Programs are built around progressive strength work for the major muscle groups, with the load, volume and rest chosen for your experience level and schedule.
The free introduction is your chance to see whether Anna is the right fit. These are good questions to bring for strength & performance coaching, and any coach worth hiring will answer them plainly.

Anna's profile centers on strength & performance coaching, and clients who seek it often include people who want to get measurably stronger, athletes who need strength and power for their sport, and newer lifters who want to learn the main lifts properly. The best test is the free introduction: if the plan makes sense to you, you have your answer.
Yes, when it is coached. A good coach starts with a movement assessment, teaches the patterns with light loads, and progresses only when your technique is solid. Tell your coach about any injuries or medical conditions at your introduction.
Most new lifters add weight within the first few weeks because technique and coordination improve quickly. After that, progress follows a plan of gradual loading, rest and consistency.
