What to Expect

We'll identify any underlying issues affecting your weight loss and create an integrated plan addressing nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle factors. The first 4-6 weeks focus on establishing sustainable routines and breaking problematic patterns. We gradually increase workout intensity while refining your nutrition plan based on your body's response. Regular check-ins every two weeks ensure we're making necessary adjustments for continued progress.

Why Choose Hannah Perned Fitness

Hannah's unique combination of nutrition expertise and fitness training means you're working with one professional who understands how all aspects of wellness interconnect. Her compassionate, non-judgmental approach helps clients overcome past failures and build lasting confidence. She stays current with the latest research in metabolism, hormone health, and sustainable weight management, ensuring her methods are both effective and evidence-based. Clients appreciate her realistic approach that works with their lifestyle rather than requiring complete life overhauls.

Insurance & Pricing

While our services aren't typically covered by standard insurance, we accept FSA and HSA payments for qualified services. Nutrition counseling may be partially reimbursable under some health plans with a physician referral. Our comprehensive 3-month program starts at $2,400, while nutrition-only packages begin at $300 per month. We offer payment plans for longer programs and occasionally have sliding scale spots available for clients facing financial hardship. All packages include initial assessments, ongoing support, and app access.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, complete the health history questionnaire and bring any recent lab results or medical clearances. Wear comfortable clothing for movement assessment and come fasted for metabolic testing if scheduled. Start keeping a food diary a week before we meet to help identify current patterns. Be prepared to discuss not just what you eat, but when, why, and how you feel around food. We'll discuss realistic timelines and expectations, as sustainable weight loss typically occurs at 1-2 pounds per week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your approach different from other weight loss programs?

I combine certified nutrition expertise with personal training and address the psychological aspects of eating. This integrated approach creates lasting change rather than temporary results.

Can you help with hormone-related weight gain?

Yes, I specialize in working with PCOS, thyroid issues, and perimenopause-related weight challenges. We'll work closely with your doctor to optimize your approach.

Do I need to give up foods I love?

Not at all. I teach balance and moderation rather than elimination, helping you enjoy all foods while reaching your goals.

How often will we meet?

Most clients benefit from 2-3 sessions per week initially, transitioning to weekly or bi-weekly as they develop independence. Virtual check-ins supplement in-person sessions.

What if I have a history of disordered eating?

I have experience helping clients recover from restrictive eating patterns and can work collaboratively with your therapist or medical team.

Do you provide meal plans?

I provide flexible meal frameworks and teach you to create your own satisfying, nutritious meals rather than rigid meal plans.

Can you work around food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. I have extensive experience adapting nutrition plans for various dietary needs, allergies, and cultural preferences.

How do you measure progress beyond the scale?

We use body composition testing, progress photos, measurements, energy levels, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing as progress indicators.
