FAQs

Full access to the Sustainably Fit system: structured training programs, nutrition guidance and tracking tools, and The Sustainably Fit Playbook — plus the eBook when it's released.

You get full access for 30 days. A card is required to start the trial. If you continue after the trial ends, your membership converts automatically.

Founding Members pay $19/month. That rate stays locked as long as your membership remains active. If you cancel and rejoin later, you’ll rejoin at the current public rate.

When the platform reaches a fully comprehensive training + education library, Founding Season will close and the standard membership will be $29/month for new members.

Yes. You can cancel at any time from your account. Your access continues through the end of your billing period.

No. The best content shouldn't be locked behind higher tiers. When you join, you get full access.

There is nothing technically preventing it, but the platform is designed for individual use — and for good reason. Your training results are tied to your specific targets, your logged performance history, and your progression over time. Sharing an account means sharing that data, which quickly makes both sets of results less meaningful. If your partner is serious about the process, having their own account and their own numbers will serve them significantly better.

The free trial is a one-time offer. Kajabi's system is set up to recognize returning accounts, so a repeat trial on the same email address will not be granted. It is also worth noting that rejoining with a new account means starting fresh — no training history in Everfit, no nutrition data in Cronometer, none of the progress that accumulates over time as a member. For most people, that continuity is worth more than a free month.

No. Referral programs are well-intentioned, but they have a way of making conversations feel transactional even when that is not the goal. An awkward exchange between friends, family members, or coworkers is not something I wish this platform to be associated with — regardless of intent.

No. Sustainably Fit is a self-directed system — there's no coach assigning your workouts, monitoring your sessions, or managing your plan day to day. You choose your program, run it at your own pace, and make adjustments as you go. That said, the system is built with that independence in mind. Between The Sustainably Fit Playbook, in-app exercise guidance, and the structured programming itself, you'll have the tools and context to train with confidence and make good decisions on your own.

Yes. Programs range from 1 to 6 days/week, so you can choose what fits your life and adjust as needed.

Both. There are home and gym-friendly options. You don’t need a perfect setup to make progress.

Both. There are options for newer lifters and more experienced lifters. The goal is to meet you where you are and progress from there.

That’s expected. The system is designed to be repeatable in real life. You’ll have guidance for how to adjust without feeling like you “ruined the plan.”

Sustainably Fit provides nutrition coaching/education and practical guidance (calories + macros, tracking strategy, consistency tools). It is not medical nutrition therapy.

No. Tracking is optional. But if you choose not to, know you’re leaving a powerful tool on the table. If your goal is to maximize results, tracking is recommended.

No. You’ll be guided through how to determine your targets and adjust over time. You stay in control of your own inputs.

No. Guidance and tools are provided to help you build your own meal plan—based on your food preferences, schedule, and lifestyle.

Only if you want them. Cronometer includes a feature called the Macro Scheduler that lets you set different targets for different days of the week — higher carbs on training days and lower on rest days, for example.

That said, it is rarely necessary. If you selected one of the standard baseline activity multipliers when setting your macros, your TDEE estimate already reflects an average activity level across your whole week — training days and rest days blended together. That average is doing the same work the scheduler otherwise would. A single daily target keeps things simple, reduces decision fatigue, and works well for the vast majority of people.

No, and it is worth being straightforward about why. Sustainably Fit provides nutrition coaching — the education, the framework, the tools, and the resources to help you build and manage your own approach. Reviewing and advising on individual meal plans crosses into certified nutritionist territory, which is outside the scope of what this platform offers. The resources here are built specifically so you have everything you need to design a plan that works for your targets, your preferences, and your life — without needing that kind of one-on-one review to do it well.

The Sustainably Fit Playbook is your member portal for Education and access. Training is delivered through Everfit, and nutrition tracking is supported through Cronometer. (You’ll get clear instructions inside the portal.)

Start by logging in to the The Sustainably Fit Playbook and heading to Module 1: Getting Started. If you want to get up and running as quickly as possible, the Your First Steps sub-module is the place to begin. When you have time, the remaining sub-modules walk you through the entire system in depth — how everything is structured, how to set up your tools, and how to get the most out of the platform from day one.

It’s fully usable today and continues to expand with new program variants and resources over time.

Everfit is a coaching platform by design, which means coach access to client profiles — including progress photos — is a built-in feature of the system. In practice, progress photos are never viewed or accessed.

Getting your targets dialed in is a real milestone, and it is worth acknowledging. But sustainable fitness is not a problem you solve once — it is something you continue to manage as your life, your goals, and your body change over time. Priorities shift. Schedules change. Progress plateaus. New questions come up. The membership is built to support all of that, not just the initial setup phase.

That said, this will never be a platform that pressures you into staying. If you reach a point where you feel confident operating independently and the membership no longer adds enough value to justify it, that is a good outcome — it means the work here did what it was supposed to do. The goal is long-term success, not long-term dependency.

It is actively being worked on, but there is no set completion date. The current priority is finishing the programming library and Resources Hub content so that the full platform ecosystem is complete and cohesive. The eBook will follow from that foundation rather than be rushed to meet an arbitrary deadline. Updates will be shared as progress is made.

The eBook is a snapshot — a thorough one — but the membership is a living platform. It gives you access to the full training library, structured programming through Everfit, nutrition tracking through Cronometer, The Sustainably Fit Playbook in its full and evolving form, and content that continues to grow over time. The eBook can teach you the framework. The platform is where you actually build and track the work.

That said, the eBook is a free gift for a reason. If you take what you've learned, apply it independently, and don't feel the membership adds enough on top of that — that's a completely legitimate outcome. The goal has always been to provide lasting value, regardless of how long someone stays.

The NASM certifications are recent, but there's a reason for that.

Around two decades ago, I worked as a personal trainer for several years during college — certified and training clients directly. After graduating, I moved into a career in engineering and let the certification lapse, since there was no longer a reason to maintain it. But while fitness was no longer a source of income, I never abandoned the love for helping others along their own fitness journeys.

That idea — building something like Sustainably Fit — stayed in the back of my mind for years. In my early 40s, with a stable career behind me, I realized I was finally in a position to turn it into reality. As the idea started to take real shape, getting re-certified became a necessary part of doing it right — including the CNC, which properly anchors the nutrition side of the system.

So while the certifications themselves are new, they are recent because this is the first time in decades they would serve a real purpose.

Yes, and I want to be straightforward about it. Every concept, recommendation, and position on this platform comes from my own training, experience, and research. AI tools were used extensively in the process of developing, refining, and structuring that material — not to generate ideas or fabricate expertise, but to help me build something that met a standard I was not willing to compromise on.

The honest reality is that this platform would not exist in its current form without that capability. The level of detail, the iterative refinement, and the consistency of the final product required a process that simply would not have been feasible otherwise. AI made it possible to keep raising the bar without ever having to settle.

The knowledge behind it is real. The work behind it is real. The tools just made it possible to do it right.

By design. Social platforms are built around engagement — likes, comments, algorithmic reach. The more you feed the algorithm, the more visible you become. That dynamic creates a pressure to produce content constantly, not because it adds value, but because staying relevant demands it. Over time, that kind of output tends to dilute quality rather than build on it. There is no natural stopping point — just an endless need to keep the feed moving.

The time and energy required to maintain a meaningful social presence is better spent making this platform as good as it can be.

This was a deliberate decision. Building and moderating an active community takes a meaningful amount of time and attention to do well — ensuring discussions stay respectful, productive, and aligned with the platform's values is not a passive responsibility. Rather than do that halfway, the choice was made to keep the focus entirely on delivering the best possible content and member experience.

If demand for community features grows and the core platform is complete, it is something that could be reevaluated. For now, the priority is finishing what is already in progress and making sure it meets the standard this platform is built on.
