What is a Corporate Athlete?
At CoachPACT we view our Corporate Athletes as time-poor high achieving professionals who appreciate that improved health, fitness and lifestyle will improve their professional performance.
We know that a highly trained corporate athlete shares the same drive for optimal performance as elite sporting athletes. At CoachPACT we help our corporate athletes find a work-life-training balance in order for them to achieve their health, fitness and performance goals.
The term Corporate Athlete was coined by Dr. Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz in their book titled “The Power of Full Engagement”.

“Like with Business when training you need a clear goal and an adaptable plan on how to get there. On previous training plans I felt they were too rigid and that I was going around in circles.

CoachPACT tailored a training plan around my work / life balance in a way that boosted my energy levels and enhanced all three. "

“Coachpact.com has been helping me achieve personal and sporting goals since 2016. What started out 4 years ago as fitness goals quickly evolved and today Coachpact impacts most aspects of my day to day life for the better.
They give me the guidance I need to make positive lifestyle choices and the follow up support and tools I need to set out and achieve realistic health and wellness goals I would otherwise struggle to attain. Working with Joe has thought me that the smallest detail counts, everything we do is connected, and that every goal begins with one small step (followed closely by putting on the MyZone activity belt!)

What is coaching?
The Oxford Dictionary defines Coaching as “to give someone professional advice on how to attain their goals”.
At Coachpact you are working with a highly qualified and experienced coaching team that provide you with individualised advice and coaching based on your situation, goals and timescale. As a team of coaches, we strive to find the balance between the art and science of coaching.
The key is communication and that’s what separates Coachpact, you have a remote coach to communicate with on your health, fitness and nutrition journey.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Personalise
Nobody knows your body better than you and everyone is an individual. That’s why your COACHPACT Consultant will personalise your training and nutrition based on your lifestyle, preferences, experiences and goals.
Accountability
Your COACHPACT Consultant is on board to hold you accountable to your goals and your program. Through the use of wearable technologies, you will be monitored and called out on your short cuts but also your victories.
Customise
Everything works but nothing works forever! Things change, new goals are set and sometimes life gets in the way. In order to be successful you cannot have a rigid plan. You need to be able to modify your training and that’s why your COACHPACT program is always customizable so you can stay on track when the unexpected arises.
Time
Time is priceless and in short supply. COACHPACT gives you the opportunity to exercise when, where and with whom you want. We listen to you and design the most time efficient plan that fits your lifestyle. When you don’t have time, we maximise what you have by designing your MED (Minimal Effective Dose)
