1:1 strength instructor mentorship

the Arriera Method — coaching from the other side of the table.

For over a year I've been developing and training new instructors — running training cohorts, maintaining the syllabus, and evaluating strength coaches with a structured rubric. Now I offer that same coaching 1:1: programming, audition prep, and honest feedback from someone who evaluates instructors for a living.

What you getThe same structure I use to train and evaluate instructors, built around you.

  • Programming review

    Line-by-line feedback on your class programming — sequencing, loads, pacing, and cueing — so every hour you teach is engineered, not improvised.

  • Audition prep

    Mock auditions and run-throughs from someone who's sat on the other side of the table, so you walk in knowing exactly what's being evaluated.

  • Structured rubric feedback

    The same rubric I use to evaluate working instructors, applied to you — clear, specific, and actionable instead of vague notes.

  • Ongoing 1:1 coaching

    Continued check-ins as you grow into the role, from your first audition through your first few months on the mic.

Who it's forAspiring and new strength instructors who want a real edge.

You're prepping for your first audition and want to walk in knowing exactly what's being evaluated — not guessing. Or you just landed your first instructor role and want your programming to feel confident from day one, instead of learning it the hard way in front of a room.

Or you're already teaching and want a second set of eyes: someone who's spent over a year training cohorts of new instructors and evaluating strength coaches with a structured rubric, and who'll tell you the truth instead of just being nice about it.

If you want the craft, not just the certification, this is built for you.
