We help people set and reach their goals.
Professional Coaching with Relentless Courage, LLC.
At Relentless Courage we specialize in helping people set and reach their goals.
Lose weight, build strength, and have more energy.
It always starts with your needs and goals. Then you'll work together with your coach to develop a plan to help you eat, move, and live better—in a way that works for your body, and your life.
Achieve your goals—even when life gets crazy.
We'll break your big goals into small daily practices that add up to massive changes. As a result, you’ll progress toward your goals without ever feeling overwhelmed, and build habits that last a lifetime.
No more weird diets or unrealistic workouts.
You don’t have to go to extremes to get amazing results. I’ll help you achieve your goals without flipping your life upside down.
Get the support you need—every step of the way.
Together, we'll remove all the guesswork and your coach will provide the accountability, direction, and support you need to stay consistent, no matter what life throws at you.
Health benefits beyond weight loss.
The science-based coaching method we use at Relentless Courage does more than just teach you how to eat better. In the end, it won’t be just about what you lose, but what you’ll gain: knowledge, control, and the confidence that comes with knowing you’re capable of anything.
One-on-one coaching done right.
No cookie-cutter programs here. You and your coach will create a personalized plan that’s tailored specifically to your goals, needs, and preferences. Our coaches are committed to helping you get into the shape you want.
Foundation of listening
Professional Coaching with Relentless Courage is built on listening. It's not about what we know as coaches. Instead, it's about listening to our clients, letting them choose what they want to work on next and supporting them through it.
How is coaching with Relentless Courage different?
|
Traditional personal trainers are often focused on only one element of fitness and typically force a one-size-fits-all approach that just doesn't work for everyone.
With our client-centered approach, we will work together to formulate a plan specific to your goals and your "why". With the GSPA plan, we will focus on your goals, skills, daily practices, and actions that you can take to help bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to be. Accountability is the pathway to comprehensive deep health, behavior change, and longterm wellness that will help you feel more fulfilled. It's the small changes and daily actions that we come up with together that will lead to big results! |

You may know what to do but have a hard time staying consistent.
When life gets crazy and responsibilities at home and work pile one on top of the other, it’s easy to let our health, fitness and personal goals slip. The years go by and we don’t even realize how much our health has declined or how far we've gotten from our greater purpose.
But for most of us, there comes a time when we realize things must change. A time when gaining control over our body takes on new urgency.
For some, it’s a scary health diagnosis. For others it’s watching a loved one struggle with their own health problems. And for others still, it’s when they finally realize they’ve spent so many years taking care of others, that they neglected to take care of themselves.
When it’s time to turn things around and start a new program, however, it can be difficult to know what to do next. And staying motivated is hard — especially if you try to do it all on your own.
That’s where the coach comes in.

Hi, I'm Jon Howard, Head Coach and Owner here at Relentless Courage.
With professional coaching at Relentless Courage we help people set and reach their goals through a client-centered, outcome based approach. It took me nearly three years and two failed attempts to complete my first 100 mile endurance run in 2014. I learned a lot during that time all while working as a fitness and wellness coach. I've worked at LifeTime Fitness, Orangetheory Fitness and had my own Wellness Coaching business for a few years. Relentless Courage was officially born as an LLC in 2022. I am currently enrolled in the Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Coach Certification Program which will finish up in March 2023. L2 Master Coach Info

How to get into the best shape of your life — and stay that way.
Master coaching and personal accountability.
Transform your body forever
You tell us what you want to do. We’ll help you do it. First, we take the time to learn about your lifestyle, needs, and specific goals. Then, over the course of the program, we'll discover everything you need to look, feel, and perform better than you thought possible.
Proven strategies to help you get (and keep) the body you want
You may have tried multiple diet and workout programs in the past. And you’ve concluded that they simply don’t work in the long run. Instead of the all-or-nothing dieting approach, this is a sustainable, practice-based approach to build healthy habits into your life, one day, one decision at a time. The result? You’ll lose the weight (and inches) you haven’t been able to shed for years. You’ll have more energy than ever before. And you’ll build physical strength and find new confidence in your body.
Stay accountable and consistent with professional coaching from Relentless Courage
We live and breathe this stuff every day, and love helping people like you become fitter, stronger, healthier, happier and more successful than ever.
Whatever obstacles arise, We'll work together to overcome them by modifying your program or offering new solutions. In the end, know you'll be supported every step of the way, no matter what life throws at you.
Whatever obstacles arise, We'll work together to overcome them by modifying your program or offering new solutions. In the end, know you'll be supported every step of the way, no matter what life throws at you.
Build the habits you need to look and feel better for life. (Here’s how it works.)
Easy-to-use online platform
We'll start by learning all about you, including your goals, health challenges, and daily routine. From there, we'll customize your entire program and we’ll start the proven coaching process. You can engage the ProCoach platform on your computer or mobile device.
Small yet powerful practices to improve everyday life
We’ll work together to create and practice healthy habits across every aspect of your life, from sleep and stress-management to movement and mindfulness. These new habits will help you feel more calm, confident, and prepared for each day—no matter what life throws at you.
Simple practices and daily accountability
Every day, you’ll work on nutrition or lifestyle practice. Each practice will be customized to help you get the results you are looking for.
Professional coaching and detailed progress checking
We'll meet up four times a month over Google Meet. You can message your coach whenever you need. The program also tracks everything from your measurements to your consistency, so you can see just how much progress you’ve made. Your coach can see it too and use that information to help guide you through the process.
Is coaching right for you?
Coaching with Relentless Courage is for you if:
You are looking for more out of life. If you don't have a goal we can help you set one!
This program uses actions from five key categories to help people lose weight and body fat, build physical strength and confidence, get results that last, and get off the diet roller-coaster once and for all. You won't get a crazy diet or exercise program to follow; instead, we'll build habits that will get you results that last forever.
You’re tired of “quick fix” programs and are willing to dedicate time to getting in shape the sustainable way
If you’ve tried something before and “failed” — or just can’t stick with it — know that you’re not alone. And it’s not your fault. After all, most training and nutrition programs fail 98 percent of the time without support. Diet and exercise fads come and go. That’s why we don’t follow fads. Instead, You'll learn doable daily actions that are designed to fit into a busy lifestyle. Bottom line: coaching here will help you make fitness and nutrition a part of your life, without it taking over.
You want a professional to hold you accountable and keep you consistent through the program
We work closely with clients to help them eat well and exercise, no matter what else is going on in their lives. You've probably got enough to worry about; let's team up to take care of the fitness and nutrition details so you don’t have to on your own.

Give us one year. You’ll get in the best shape of your life — or your money back. |
Commit to working with a coach for a year. If you don’t get what you’re looking for at the end of the year, you'll get a full refund. You get to decide if the program was worth it. Why do we do this? Because we stand by our work. We know you’ll walk out healthier and happier than ever before. All you have to do is take the first step.

Unconditional Positive Regard
This kind of coaching needs to be non-judgmental. When we work with clients we always hold them in positive regard no matter what they bring to the table. As coaches, our job is to hear what people have to say and help them move in a way that gets them closer to their goals, period.
Client-Centered Coaching
Our coaches don’t make decisions for our clients or tell them what to do. We help our clients make decisions for themselves and grow in ways that they choose. We do provide guidance and support along the way. That is client-centered coaching.
"Self-deployed strategies put a greater "burden" on the individual but, once mastered, can in theory be applied across domains. Other-deployed strategies, in contrast, may be easier for a policymaker (or coach) to carry out but do not build the capacity of individuals to exercise self-control (or self-knowledge). Optimal strategies depend not only on their likelihood of success but also on their ease of execution." Beyond Willpower: Strategies for Reducing Failures of Self-Control; Angela L. Duckworth, Katherine L. Milkman, and David Laibson

GSPA
GSPA stands for goals, skills, practices and actions. It’s the way we start with something big and break it down into smaller parts. Those smaller actions add up over time to help you reach your goals.
Outcome vs Behavior Goals
Outcome goals are the things we think about. Our coaches have worked with clients who wanted to lose weight, have more energy, be more organized, get ready for that big event, be better leaders, get healthier and take back control of their life. We’ll work to create SMART outcome goals through conversation and assessments. Then, we’ll dial in our GSPA process to create behavior goals that add up to big things.
