With over 35% of the American adult population obese, and nearly 17% of children in the same category (Ogden et al., 2012), the demand for wellness plans that blend exercise science, behavior design and metabolic conditioning has risen.

Studies report that 50% of patients do not fully understand the advice of their physician. (Chodosh et al., 2005). Among those who do understand, few internalize and act upon the advice, such as the admonition to “eat less and exercise more” or even to take a given medication, with over 50% of medication prescriptions left unfilled (Sabate, 2003).

• Action

• Maintenance

The coach’s role in this process is to set and maintain a positive tone that helps individuals recognize and rely on their own unique strengths and assets to be successful.

Coaching explores a person’s beliefs about their ability to be fit, eat healthy, and adhere to a program.

Self-efficacy is positively related to motivation (Bandura,1986).
