LWA combines custom exercise programming, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and accountability coaching into structured programs delivered entirely online.

Question 2

Who founded LWA Strong?

Accepted Answer

LWA Strong was founded by Art Thomas. Art was diagnosed with ataxia — which he describes as "MS on steroids" — and went from a wheelchair to walking completely independently using the methods he now teaches at LWA. His co-coach Danny Walls brings additional expertise in rehabilitation and strength training for neurological populations.

Question 4

Do I need to live near LWA Strong to work with you?

Accepted Answer

No. LWA Strong is a fully remote, tele-rehabilitation service. All coaching, program delivery, and video feedback sessions are conducted online via Zoom and video messaging. We work with clients across the United States and internationally. Your location is never a barrier.

Question 5

What is included in a free consultation?

Accepted Answer

Your free 30-minute Zoom consultation with Art Thomas or Danny Walls covers your current condition, functional goals, movement history, and any questions you have about the LWA approach. There is no sales pressure and no commitment required. It is a real conversation about whether LWA is the right fit for you.

Question 6

How is LWA different from traditional physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

Traditional physical therapy is typically short-term, insurance-driven, and focused on managing symptoms. LWA Strong is long-term, goal-driven, and focused on achieving real independence. We combine custom exercise programming with nutritional coaching and ongoing accountability — three pillars that most PT clinics never address together. Our programs are also built specifically for neurological conditions, not generic rehab protocols.

Question 7

What is the Wheelchair to Walking program?

Accepted Answer

Wheelchair to Walking is LWA's flagship annual program. It is designed for people who are currently using a wheelchair, walker, or other assistive device and want to work toward independent walking. The program combines progressive strength and balance training, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and weekly accountability coaching. The program costs $1,400 per year. Independence is the goal — and a form of independence is guaranteed.

Question 8

What does "Independence Guaranteed" mean?

Accepted Answer

"Independence Guaranteed" is LWA's commitment that every program is built around your specific independence goals — not a generic protocol. Art Thomas himself went from wheelchair to complete independence using the LWA approach. That lived experience drives every program we build.

Question 9

How does nutrition coaching work?

Accepted Answer

Nutrition coaching is included in every LWA package. We provide anti-inflammatory meal guidance, specific food recommendations that support nerve function and recovery, and a clear list of what to cut from your diet. Nutrition is not an add-on at LWA — it is a core pillar of every program because what you eat directly affects how your nervous system functions. LWA recommends a carnivore or carnivore-leaning diet for most clients.

Question 10

What is the video feedback coaching process?

Accepted Answer

You record yourself performing your workouts and send the videos to your coach. Art or Danny reviews your form, movement patterns, and progress, then sends back detailed feedback and program adjustments. This process allows for real coaching precision without requiring in-person sessions.

Question 11

How long are the programs and what do they cost?

Accepted Answer

Program lengths and prices vary by package. Bronze is 4 weeks ($174). Silver is 8 weeks ($380). Gold is 12 weeks ($610). Platinum is 16 weeks ($820). Platinum+ is a monthly ongoing coaching membership ($240/month). The Wheelchair to Walking program is a full annual commitment ($1,400/year). A Spike Detox protocol is also available for $130, credited toward any full package. All programs include a free 30-minute Zoom consultation before you begin.
