About
Hi, I’m Ugochi, though many call me Coach.
With over 16 years of experience in strength training and lifestyle coaching, I help women build sustainable strength, confidence, and long-term body mastery. My work blends science, psychology, and habit formation so you feel strong physically, mentally, and emotionally.
My specialties include:
• Strength training
• Fat loss
• Corrective exercise
• Hormone and gut health balance
• Longevity-focused programming
I travel throughout San Francisco and Oakland for in-home personal training and coaching.
How We Get Started
I work with women who are coachable, committed, and ready to invest in their health.
Step 1: Intro Consultation
We begin with a **************************** to discuss your goals and determine if we’re a good fit. Because I receive a high volume of inquiries, consult times are reserved once availability is confirmed. Please provide 2–3 solid time options when scheduling. A 24-hour notice is required to reschedule.
Step 2: Practice Session
If it feels aligned, we schedule a live practice session. A $150 deposit is required to reserve this session and ($50) is applied toward your first month of coaching when we move forward.
Step 3: Monthly Coaching
Clients move forward into a monthly subscription model designed for sustainable progress and long-term results.
I value clear communication, professionalism, and mutual respect for time. If you’re ready to build strength in a way that lasts, I’d love to connect.
With Gratitude,
Coach Ugochi

Working with Coach Ugochi changed my life. I had been dealing with chronic back and knee pain, stress and insomnia, and general health challenges for almost 10 years. She helped me get on a path to healing that far surpassed what any doctor has ever been able to. She spent double the allotted intake time with me, listening intently and documenting my issues, and then set forth a customized plan based on my abilities, limitations, goals, and busy work schedule. With a mix of weight training, cardio, and nutrition advice, she's got me feeling the best I've felt in a decade. Moreover, she's super fun to hang out with! Highly recommend.

My overall experience with Coach Ugochi has been great! We started training in the beginning of November, and I’m down 6 pounds. She’s a good person & I’m getting fantastic results!

My overall experience with Coach Ugochi was terrific. She was very encouraging, whether it be in person, via text, or phone. Her support was always uplifting and fun which made every session enjoyable. Coach Ugochi is very knowledgeable and is driven to see her clients succeed. During our first meeting we sat down and discussed my goals. She took the time to listen to what I was trying to achieve and created a program that worked for me. During our training sessions, she always kept my goals in mind-which allowed me to excel. I really loved that she was easy to work with, especially when she’d push me towards my health goals. I also learned a great deal about exercising and nutrition. During the lockdown, Coach Ugochi quickly accommodated me by offering zoom sessions. Which kept me motivated to stay on my fitness journey. When I finished my work outs, I had so much energy and confidence that I couldn’t wait to attend my next session. Overall, Coach Ugochi rocks, because she’s dedicated, hard-working, and fun to work with. I always had the best workouts that were tailored to my needs, amazing trainer overall. Thank you!

Today was my 2nd session with Coach Ugochi of Active Break. Shes so awesome. My friends are probably sick of me talking about her.
She sent over everything I needed to know after our assessment - a workout schedule, sample exercises, a video teaching me/reinforcing proper form/ and a food diary template. I really liked it that she gave me everything I needed right away.
I really like her emphasis on the foundations - building from the ground up. Im so tired of quick fixes and hacks - her focus on this is now a lifestyle and we are in it for the (fun!) long run, I really love that. She even took videos of me (With permission of course, and never shared) performing squats, pushups, and lunges so we can see where exactly my form needs work. As I am a very visual person, this really helped me tremendously.
Shes so positive and fun - very professional and on top of everything, but without losing that friendly vibe. Im pretty new to this whole thing, but as I keep telling my friends, I wish I had found her sooner!

I started working with Coach Ugochi because I was looking for someone to help me reach my fitness goals that I was struggling to attain by myself, plus I’m getting married this year and wanted to feel my best!
Coach not only helped me reach those goals, but also taught me so much about movement along the way. We also worked on mindset and nutrition. Game changer!
I enjoyed my experience so much that I even got my partner to start training with us.
Don’t hesitate to seek a personaltrainer to assist you with your goals! Esp with Coach Ugochi, you’ll be so thankful you did!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer monthly training packages based on session length and frequency. Each package includes coaching support, program updates, and accountability between sessions. Consultations require a deposit that is applied to the 1st month’s plan upon sign up.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a consultation and a movement assessment to understand your goals, history, and lifestyle. From there, I design a customized program with progressive training, nutrition guidance, and mindset support. Each session builds on the last to help you feel stronger, more confident, and aligned with your goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
