Is 80% consistency really enough to see results?

Yes. Research shows that exercise adherence in the 80-85% range produces nearly identical health outcomes to perfect compliance, while being dramatically more sustainable. People who maintain 80% consistency over a year accumulate far more total training volume than those who go all-in and burn out repeatedly.

What is the biopsychosocial model and how does it relate to fitness?

The biopsychosocial model recognizes that health is influenced by biological factors (hormones, recovery, energy), psychological factors (mindset, motivation, stress), and social factors (relationships, community, life circumstances). Effective coaching addresses all three rather than treating the body like a machine that just needs the right inputs.

How does Dai Manuel customize his coaching approach?

Dai builds every plan around five life pillars: fitness, family, finances, faith, and fun. Whether working one-on-one or with large groups, the proven framework stays the same but the application is tailored to each person's schedule, stress triggers, family dynamics, and personal history with health and fitness.

Do I need to be fit to start working with a coach at CFBC?

Not at all. Everyone starts with a free trial and a Foundations program where a senior coach works with you to build competence in fundamental movements. The 80% consistency standard means there is no pressure to be perfect from day one.
