01 — Train with me

You are the best at what you do. Your training should be run the same way.

One-on-one online coaching with Vinnie Van Wyk. For people who operate at a high level and expect the same standard from the person managing their body.

Most coaching hands you a plan and a check-in call. This is the opposite. It starts with a real assessment, runs on a written file that gets sharper every week, and is built to change behavior, not just hand you a workout. Twenty years on the floor, a chef's understanding of food, and a method that treats you as a whole person, not a set of numbers on a machine.

02 — The situation

You have a system for everything except the thing that runs it.

You are used to working with the best. The best advisor, the best counsel, the best people in every room you walk into. Your health is the one domain where you have settled for generic. A trainer who counts reps. An app that sends the same plan to ten thousand people. A diet you cannot keep past a travel week.

You are not out of shape because you are lazy. You are time-poor, you have plateaued on willpower alone, and you are sharp enough to know that more effort applied to the wrong plan is just a faster way to stall. What you want is to perform now and stay sharp for the next thirty years. That is an engineering problem, and it has an owner.

Time poor

Your calendar does not bend. The program has to fit the day you actually have, not the one a generic plan assumes. Short, precise, and built around travel rather than broken by it.

Plateaued

You have done the apps, the classes, the boot camps. They worked for a while, then stopped. A plateau is a data problem. It gets solved by measuring the right things, not by trying harder.

Performance and longevity

This is not about a beach week. It is energy in the afternoon, a clear head in the third meeting, strength that holds, and a body that is still capable in two decades. Both ends of the timeline, handled.

Used to the best

You do not hire the cheapest option in any other part of your life, and you read the difference between a professional and an amateur in about a minute. You will read it here too.

03 — The method

The difference is behavior and the whole person, not another workout.

Anyone can write you a program. The work is making it something you actually do, and building it from who you are rather than a template. That is where most coaching ends and this begins.

01
The differentiator

Behavioral change and biohacking, the whole person in view.

The reason plans fail is rarely the plan. It is behavior. Vinnie's background is in driving real, durable change in how a person eats, moves, sleeps, and recovers, and in the measurable levers that move performance: fasting, recovery, light, stress, and the data behind each. The plan is built around your physiology, your day, and the way you actually live, not a protocol pulled off a shelf.

02

The assessment is the program.

The first session is a full assessment. Overhead squat analysis, mobility screening, body composition baseline, fitness tests, and a detailed health and lifestyle intake. That data seeds a written client file that every future decision runs on. The assessment is not the beginning of the program. It is the program.

03

Recovery-aware, measured, not guessed.

Adaptation happens in recovery, not in the session. HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep are read before any program decision. When the markers are suppressed, the session is adjusted, not forced. Heart-rate zones replace perceived effort. Body composition data replaces the scale. Every number is logged so the next call is evidence, not a hunch.

04

Nutrition you can actually run, from a chef.

Nutrition is the largest variable in how you look and perform, and the one most people treat as an afterthought. Vinnie is a trained chef, so you learn to cook the meals in your plan, fast and practical, rather than follow a document you abandon by Wednesday. Protocols are individual: ketogenic, intermittent fasting, and other evidence-supported approaches applied where they fit your physiology, not because they are in fashion.

05

You understand why, not just what.

You are not handed instructions to follow on faith. You learn the reasoning behind every piece, which is what lets you make good decisions when you are on the road, off-script, or deciding what to order. Understanding is what makes the result hold over years instead of months.

04 — In their words

From the people who train this way.

Video testimonials go here. The slots below are placeholders, ready for Vinnie to drop in recorded client video. Nothing is written for them.

05 — What changes

What clients get out of it, stated plainly.

No guarantees on a number. The promise is a process run correctly, measured the whole way, with the levers below as the targets. Vinnie fills in the specifics from real client data.

Body composition

Strength up, body fat down, tracked on composition data rather than the scale. Measured at baseline and at every re-assessment so the change is real, not a guess. Founder to add typical ranges.

Energy and focus

Steadier energy through the day, fewer afternoon crashes, a clearer head when it counts. The recovery and nutrition work is aimed squarely at how you feel at 3pm, not just how you look.

Recovery and sleep

HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep moving in the right direction over weeks. These are the markers that decide whether the training compounds or quietly burns you down. They get watched.

Habits that hold

The behavioral work is the point. The aim is a way of training, eating, and recovering that survives a hard quarter and travel, so the result is still there in a year and in ten.

06 — Investment

Premium, one-on-one, and deliberately limited.

This is direct access to a coach with twenty years on the floor, not a seat in a group program. Only a few online spots are open at a time, because the assessment, the written file, and the weekly review take real attention per client. The number below is a placeholder. Vinnie confirms the figure before this goes live.

$X,XXX / month
Placeholder · founder to confirm
  • 90-minute initial assessment and a written client file
  • Program built from your assessment, in periodized blocks
  • Nutrition with macros, meal structure, and chef-level technique
  • Recovery review on HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep
  • Every set logged in the app and reviewed by Vinnie
  • Direct access for adjustments as the data warrants

Billed monthly, cancel with 30 days notice. A few spots only. The full tier structure, from a foundation level through to weekly live coaching, is laid out once your application is confirmed and the right fit is clear.

07 — The anchor
"What is healthy for you may not be healthy for someone else. I build the program from your assessment, I change the behavior that makes it stick, and I teach you why every piece is there. The math and the memory, handled. You focus on performing."
Vinnie Van Wyk, NASM-CPT, NASM-CES, chef
