Stella E. says, "I have recently started my program with FHF and wanted to update my review. If you are looking for a trainer, health coach or both in the DMV area, Karene is THE BEST CHOICE and here's why: - My meal plan has finally put me in a position where I am not all hungry and can concentrate at work but am also eating at the deficit necessary to lose weight. In fact, some days I struggle to eat all of the meals allotted for the day. I no longer feel like I am competing between feeling fulfilled and losing weight; instead, I feel ALIGNED and on the right track. - The workouts push me harder than I ever would myself and snapped me out of the mentality that I need to spend hours logging cardio in order to lose weight (and therefore eliminated the "I don't have time" excuse). - Her program is structured and easy to follow - it takes away excuses and all the mental energy I used to spend analyzing why I eat poorly or negotiating with myself about what unsustainable diet to try or how to workout. FHF provides a *team* to guide you, motivate you and hold you accountable. I finally feel like I have what I need in order to be consistent and do the work. - I feel empowered. I have so much more data about my health and what I need to do to reach and maintain my goals. - On top of it all, Karene is friendly, nonjudgmental and fun. I am a busy professional and got tired of putting myself last and watching my weight creep up. Whether you hire Karene as a PT, health coach or both as I did, you will not be disappointed. I'm positive I will look back on this as one of the best decisions I ever made for myself."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is a health coach?

A health coach is a service provider you can hire to help you realize your wellness goals. You can hire a health and wellness coach to guide you through life changes, keep you focused on weight loss or fitness goals, help boost your mental health, and more. Many health coaches work with their clients for set periods of time as the client moves toward a measurable goal. Wellness coaches come from varying backgrounds, and may have different areas of focus depending on their education and training. Research potential coaches by reading their reviews, researching their academic and personal backgrounds, and learning about any certifications they have earned from coaching institutes. Often, health and wellness coaches sell coaching packages ranging from three to six months or longer, depending on the client’s needs. The average national cost for an individual health coach session ranges from $60 to $90, although prices may range as low as $30 or up to $130 or more, depending on your location and the coach.

What is a holistic wellness coach?

When you want to reach new heights with your health and wellness, consider hiring a holistic wellness coach. Much like a health coach, a holistic wellness coach is focused on your well-being and meets with you in one-on-one sessions to help you identify and reach your targeted goals. A holistic wellness coach will typically have you take all components of your life into account when working to achieve your goals. If your goal is to lose weight, a holistic wellness coach will not only offer recommendations for your diet and exercise, but also discuss your emotional health, your work/life balance, your spiritual side, and each area of your life that affects your ability to follow a nutrition and fitness plan.

Although they are highly motivational and often can help clients achieve great results, holistic wellness coaches are not professional health care providers or registered dietitians. Different institutes and training centers provide certifications for holistic wellness coaching, so be sure to research your coach and read their reviews to understand more about their techniques and training.
