Our Philosophy

RESULTS WITHOUT COMPROMISE.

We don't sell you a cookie-cutter PDF and disappear. Upstate Coaching is built around understanding your life — your schedule, your goals, your chaos — and building a plan that actually fits.

Whether you're starting from scratch, chasing a performance goal, or preparing for the biggest day of your life, our approach is the same: data-driven programming, real nutrition strategy, and a coach who shows up every week without fail.

This isn't motivation content. This is the work.

🏋️

Fitness

Goal-specific programming built around your equipment, schedule, and training age.

🥩

Nutrition

Practical eating strategies that work in the real world — including an eating out guide.

📋

Daily Habits

Sustainable lifestyle habits tracked weekly through in-app check-ins.

🔗

Accountability

A coach who actually holds you to your word — and adjusts when life happens.

Results

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

Upstate coaching changed my life. I am 63 years old and have struggled with fitness and nutrition for a majority of that time. Their approach to health coaching is unique and effective. I cannot recommend them enough.

JULIE

Fitness & Nutrition Transformation

I was looking for some guidance for my health journey and I heard about Upstate Coaching through the community. I reached out to Dakota and 6 months later I am thankful I did. My life improved drastically after following the program. He held me accountable the whole way and now I am more confident, feeling better than ever, and I have all the tools I need to maintain that going forward.

MEET YOUR COACHES.

DAKOTA SCHLENK

Head Coach & Founder

Dakota brings over 8 years of competitive experience as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete and former professional powerlifter — two disciplines that demand the kind of disciplined, data-backed training philosophy that defines Upstate Coaching.

As a NASM Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC), Dakota bridges the gap between elite athletic performance and sustainable everyday lifestyle. His approach is direct, individualized, and built on what actually works — not what sells.
