Is This For You?

Who This Is For (And Who It's Not)

I work with a specific type of client. Be honest with yourself—this isn't for everyone.

This IS For You If...

  • You're a busy professional with high standards who wants visible change in 12 weeks

  • You travel, have dinners/events, and need a plan that holds

  • You value privacy, structure, and fast feedback

  • You're ready to invest and execute

  • You want personalized coaching, not generic programs or cookie-cutter plans

  • You see your body as an investment, not an expense

This Is NOT For You If...

  • You're looking for the cheapest coach

  • You're unwilling to track basics or follow a system

  • You want "motivation" instead of accountability

  • You want casual, low-commitment coaching

  • You expect results without effort or lifestyle adjustments

  • You're shopping based on price alone rather than results and value

Still here? That means you're serious. Let's see if you're a fit.

Real Clients. Real Transformations.

High-performers who rebuilt their bodies without sacrificing their careers

Jason S.

Software Developer • First-Time Lifter

"I'd never lifted weights before and was intimidated by the gym. Ian started me with the basics—proper form, breathing, core stability. Six months later, I'm squatting with real weight and actually looking forward to my sessions."

Lisa M.

Marketing Director • Busy Schedule

"My work schedule is unpredictable—some weeks I'm swamped, others are lighter. Ian built flexibility into my program so I could adjust when things got crazy. I'm stronger than I've been in years, doing it in just 3 sessions a week."

Weekend Athlete • Surfer & Runner

"I surf and run regularly, but I was dealing with shoulder tightness and knee issues. Ian built a strength program that complements my sports. My shoulder and knee feel great, I'm surfing stronger, and I'm even running with better times now."

How the Pierce Protocol Works

The Pierce Protocol is an adaptive performance framework—not a one-size-fits-all program. Different phases exist to serve different goals: leaning out, building muscle, restoring recovery capacity, or refining body composition. Your path through the framework is determined by assessment, not guesswork.

Where You Start

Some clients start by leaning out. Some start by building muscle. Some start by restoring recovery or movement capacity. The emphasis depends entirely on where you are now and where you want to go.

You're not guessing where to start — placement is determined after assessment.

How It Works

What a Week Looks Like

This is private consulting delivered asynchronously—built to fit executive schedules, travel, and real life.

Weekly Check-In (10 minutes)

You submit body composition, performance, and adherence data in the app. Simple, structured, and specific.

Adjustments Delivered (within 24–48 hours on weekdays)

Training, nutrition targets, travel adaptations, and recovery priorities updated based on your check-in data.

Training Execution (3–5 sessions/week)

Written clearly in-app: sets, reps, rest, tempo, plus substitutions for travel or home training.

Async Messaging Support

Direct access for friction points: travel, dinners, missed sessions, fatigue, soreness—within defined response windows.

Form & Technique Review (as needed)

Upload videos for key lifts and movements to improve safety and performance. Clear, direct feedback.

Weekly Outcome Target

One clear focus each week: waist trend, strength markers, adherence consistency, energy and recovery.

The System

Why This Works

Logic-driven, not hype-driven. Here's what makes this different.

Assessment → Execution

Decisions are based on real inputs, not templates. Your program adapts to you.

Weekly Feedback Loop

Check-in data drives weekly plan updates. You're never following a stale program.

Constraint-Based Programming

Travel, schedule chaos, and business dinners are planned for—not treated as failures.

Managed Adherence

Structure and accountability eliminate drift. Consistency is built into the system.

Performance + Aesthetics

Strength, body composition, and energy are built together—not traded off.

Integration Phase

Results are stabilized so progress doesn't rebound. You learn to maintain independently.

What You're Paying For

You're not buying workouts. You're buying outcome management: decision-making, accountability, and weekly optimization.

Identity-First Execution: The Thermostat Principle

Most professionals fail because they try to change actions without changing identity

The Problem

You lose 20 lbs, then regain 25. Why? Because your identity thermostat is still set to your old self. Like a room temperature returning to 72°F, your body returns to your identity's set point.

The Solution

The Pierce Protocol is a structured performance framework that installs a repeatable identity + systems approach. Every decision is guided by assessment, not guesswork. You become someone who is lean, not someone trying to get lean. Your new set point becomes automatic—maintained through travel, stress, and real life.

"You don't rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your identity."

That's why our assessment measures Identity & Mindset first—it's the #1 predictor of transformation success.
