About me
Founders of the Fit Responder Program: I met my wife Emily while we both worked for the same Sheriff’s Office. At that time, I was 40+lbs overweight with high-blood pressure. Even though we were both experienced personal trainers and dedicated Deputies, I was failing at my own fitness while she was succeeding. She showed me some powerful methods to lose fat and build serious muscle. My transformation from fat to fit (and healthy) inspired many others on our department.
We began sharing our methods and started coaching others, and created so many success stories that we decided to become professional fitness coaches full time. We created the Fit Responder Program, retired and left our Law Enforcement careers to help others achieve their ultimate fitness goals. Since then, we have made a huge impact on countless lives and have no plans to stop!

Owners of Stern Coaching
What is Stern Coaching?
Stern Coaching is for serious coaches who want real results — not just another overpriced group program with a flashy name and no follow-through.
We help individuals start or grow their online coaching business the right way. No fluff. No gimmicks. Just proven strategies, real 1-on-1 support, and a hands-on approach that actually works.
We got tired of watching people get sold into generic group courses with zero direction. So we built something better. Our team has taken fitness businesses from $0 to over $500,000/month in revenue — and we teach what we actually do, not theory.
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale, we’re here to help you grow a profitable coaching business that lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some clients I have helped: Single mom with 3 kids working full time. Dad with 6 kids working full time in Law Enforcement (and also had his own side gig). Others working 60 hour weeks. Etc. We will make the process FIT YOU. Even if you don’t have an ideal schedule, we will give you an ideal plan given your availability.
Everyone on my team goes through a rigorous hiring process and are hand selected. We don’t tolerate anything less than the best. All our clients are regularly asked for feedback, and we consistently see 10/10 remarks and praises. If for whatever reason you don’t like me (Ted) or someone on my team, (which I don’t think has ever happened) I would do whatever I can to make it right
Here’s my personal guarantee: If you are selected and join our program, that means we are confident we can help you get the results you want. So, if you trust the process and follow the simple steps we lay out for you, I promise you will get the results we promise. If somehow that doesn’t happen, I would refund every penny.
A: It can vary depending on goals, but most clients start with a 32 week program. Most clients also sign up for more time while they are in the program. Why? We gain their trust and buy in when they start to see incredible results, love the process, the support, and see themselves hitting more goals down the line using our proven methods.
A: After switching to “Remote Coaching” (Messages, Zoom, Phone calls, etc) I found I was able to make a bigger and better impact with clients. How so? Clients I would work with in a gym typically did up to 3-4 sessions per week at most. But their schedule would have to align perfectly with appointment times, and that proved problematic for busy working people. Also, a personal trainer can cover the workout but does not involve a comprehensive nutrition plan or ongoing support and contact during the week. Remote coaching means more accountability, more support, better plans and structure, and convenience for the client.
A: You will get close 1:1 support, we will know you and your circs. Your plans will be tailored to you specifically. We will likely know your dogs name too. You won’t get better support than this.
A: We have clients who barely know what a dumbbell is all the way to seasoned athletes. Expect a custom process with coaching that meets you at your level.
A: We have clients who barely know what a dumbbell is all the way to seasoned athletes. Expect a custom process with coaching that meets you at your level.
A: It definitely depends on the injury. Please apply so we can learn more about your situation and make a recommendation.
A: Duh, I’m not that famous yet! I will be available through chat basically daily, I provide coaching calls over zoom, I monitor your progress throughout and will make sure we give you the best steps for success.
A: The testimonials and results I share of other client journeys are very typical. But I don’t know you and your goals yet! So please apply so we can go over what are realistic goals.
A: I guarantee the effectiveness of our program. We are so confident in its success that we ensure you will never lose your investment!
A: We do not have a cookie cutter program, it’s not templated or a month-to-month app. The total investment depends on the level of support / length of program. Everyone has varying goals so this would be something we can chat with you about after #1 you / we feel the program is a good fit for you, and #2 determine what you need as far as support and what length of time you sign up for.
Simple facts though:
1) Our clients are First Responders from all over the country (Not typically millionaires)
2) Our program investment is typically less than working with a 1:1 personal trainer on a regular basis.
3) Our clients always say it is well worth the investment.
4) You have probably spent more on a short vacation.
5) If you are looking for the cheapest path to a life changing result… that is a poor mindset.
