FAQ

Which program should I start with?
Use the Program Finder to explore options based on your goals and training situation. It explains relevant requirements and any limitations before you open a program page. Still unsure? Contact me for help choosing.
How are the programs delivered?
Digital checkout and delivery are handled through Gumroad. See each program page for its included files and purchase details.
What tracking files come with a program?
Tracking files are specific to each program; its program page lists exactly what is included. Mnemosyne is the separate blank, universal edition for your own programming and the years after.
What are the tap-to-open exercise links?
Exercise names link to guide pages with exercise instructions and available modifications. You’ll want internet for the guides; the purchased program files themselves remain available separately.
I'm new to lifting — which program is built for a beginner?
Prometheus's Spark — designed for the first serious year: every movement taught from zero, loads kept submaximal, effort capped on purpose.
What equipment do I need?
Every program page lists exactly what its book asks for. Training at home: Hestia's Hearth runs on bodyweight and bands, Prometheus's Spark has a no-gym edition, and Circe's tracks run on dumbbells and a bench.
What's the difference between a program and coaching?
A program is the system, self-run — most people thrive on exactly that. Coaching is me running it for you: weekly check-ins with a reply within one business day, form review from your videos, and a plan that adapts to your actual week.
What's your refund policy?
Plain English: if a program isn't right for you, tell us within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund it. The long version lives on the legal page.
Do the programs get updated?
Whenever cues, guardrails, or materials improve. All future updates to a program you own are included — re-download from your Gumroad receipt. The Weekly Cue announces the meaningful ones.
